Nope, you have to pay extra.

You can subscribe to 4, 6, or 8.

Hey folks,

My home town is finishing a fiber project that will provide 100 megabit lines to residents.

I was wondering; how many others out there have this kind of service?

I'm so jealous of anyone with fiber running to their house. I don't see it ever happening up here in NH, hopefully I'm wrong.

There's been more and more rumbling about regulating the cable broadband industry, and I read somewhere recently that an ISP sued a town because the town itself starting running a fiber optic network to people's home and made it a municpal service (like trash, sewerage, etc)
I know regulation is supposed to help free trade and all, but as soon as you force companies to lease out their lines to competitors, you remove the profits due to pricing pressure and competition from the other companies that havent taken a risk and invested all this capital. They have very little to lose by a razor thin profit margin. If this is the case, companies will say 'why bother running fiber to the curb if I'm going to be forced to share it with competitors'

I fear this, because that is what our town is doing. The upside is that ISP's have the right to sell from that connection by offering server space and email services. Comcast and Charter are both in an uproar over the town's intent. It's sort of like roadside thugs saying you cant use that eight lane turnpike highway over there you have to follow this one lane gravel road and pay us for it. And of course dial-up isp's say hey what's wrong with our dirt path? it will get you there.

Personally I think its great. We are looking at TV, telephone and of course internet services all taking advantage of the fiber.

BTW, if my little crack in the rock town in West Virginia can get fiber, anyone can Just hang in there.
