Fiber to the home. It's about time.
Thought you were cool with an ultra-fast cable modem? DSL ping times helping you in Unreal Tournament 2004? Well, if your neighbor has a fiber connection from Verizon to his house, you might as well be using a 56K modem. The scary thing about this is that it will cost less than cable and DSL. Now, maybe cable companies will realize that the arbitrary 128K/UP cap is silly.

Figures this would happen as soon as Jarn gets broadband! How's it feel to already be slow?
Considering Verizon left our town about 2-3 years ago, I don't feel too bad about it.
