Where in Jersey are you? You have to be down south west. That's where most of the FISO is starting out. They allowed that law to pass which allows telco companies to compete with the broadband fuckers. Well I should not call them fuckers, Optium was great. Verizon is going to have a hard time getting people to leave them. The service is 2nd to none. But they should be able to pull alot of Comcast users. Comcast is like stuck in this AOL frame of mind. It's so fucking bad.

I live in Toms River. Years ago, AT&T wanted to supply cable TV via the phone lines and made the local phone company (Bell Atlantic) run fiber to every house in town.
The deal never happened but I have a bundle of dark fiber run to the house. Only one strand is now being used for my phone service. The amount of bandwidth of all this dark fiber is nuts.
Who knows, in the early nineties a 2gig drive was more then you could fill in a lifetime and cell phones were the size of bricks.
