My business has a redundant 10Gbps connection to our cabinet at zColo. We lease the dark fiber (but it doesn't run very far, so it's not very expensive.) The cabinet has a 1Gbps uplink for Internet. Home is 50Mbps FTTH right now. Google should start to deploy in ATX during 2014, and when they come to my neighborhood, I plan to switch to Google Fiber. I also have a Time Warner fiber service on premise, mainly for one of my employees who lives just outside Elgin, TX. (but also because we get a redundant 100Mbps connection. While I spent an order of magnitude more than you, I also have much better service. :-)

I have lived in a number of places in northern Sweden. All had fiber to the house. New houses doesn't even have copper-lines for phones any more, they all go fiber. Some houses don't even have phone-outlets, only a 100 Mbit/s RJ45. A town with 2500 people (100 Mbit/s the last 20 years, Between $60 and $30 per month) Smaller town with 250 people (100 Mbit/s the last 15 years, $30 per month) Small city with 100 000 people (100-1000 Mbit/s the last 15 years, $35 per month including IP-phone box and phone-account) Been wondering how long it would take for you guys to do something about your internet connections. You keep blaming the big distances and so on but everyone I know is living in big cities and still has realy bad DSL...

  Oh Sweden, is there anything you can't do? I'm impressed by this country, especially considering what they manage to pull off with such a small population.

I live in the UK, in London actually. I don't get the choice you get, what I have currently (2Mb/s:d 80Kb/s:u and incredible latency) is the only thing you can buy as a consumer. leasing a line would cost #1,200 (gbp) a month, which combined with my exorbitant rent would leave me literally penniless. I would say you're a lucky case.
