Kinda makes me wonder . . .
How much it might cost to run a fiber-optic line that
half mile from your house to his.

Fairpoint.

A funny story about Fairpoint: My house is the last one before the street crosses into another town. My first homebuilder... the one who built the house we're in... is on that side, just a half mile away. He said that Fairpoint wants $2,000 to set him up, *IF* he can get the other five houses between his and mine to also pay the setup fee. If they won't, then they'll charge him $12,000. He's pretty frustrated. He's got satellite internet right now... says it's awful... so bad that he's about to disconnect completely.

I actually gave him my router info a couple of weeks ago - so that he can surf from my driveway if he ever really needs to. He's someone I trust...

Everything considered, I'm pretty happy. We had no setup charge and we're paying $40/month. We have Vonage, too, which runs over the internet and drives our home phone. I don't remember what it costs...
