The best thing is Most ISPs laid a shitload of excess fiber back when nobody really gave two shits about it. 1980s. "We wanna dig a trench on your railway easement, that cool with you?" "Sure thing, $100 a mile for us to make sure you're not loving up" "Done". Now. "Hey, we wanna dig a trench for fiber on your railway easement, how much?" "How much you got?" Suddenly everyone sees infrastructure as a way to milk cash from whoever they can, and the guys who invested in it at the right time can compete way more effectively with people trying to break in. The city I live in managed to make an assload off the FIOS guys because they required a city work crew to stand around with stop signs and road cones while they put fiber up on the poles.

Their coverage in Edmonton is really rough right now, but it's REALLY improved over the last 6 months ( a coworker has it), and I was looking forward to getting away from Rogers. Well, when all the execs belong to the same country clubs, it's hard to look them in the eye over a brandy and cigar if you aren't going to match their prices.
