Is There Fiber in Your Future?
You may not like the development going on all around us, but along with the traffic and the noise will come some very cool things. It turns out that the Pulte development at 428 Alice is going to have a fiber connection to the Internet. A fiber optic cable is capable of enormous bandwidth. Speeds of a gigabit per second or more are possible, and these days the costs are amazingly low.
I met two weeks ago with a representative from Paxio - the folks who will bring the fiber in to the neighborhood. They assured me that when the fiber is laid to 428 Alice that they'd also run the fiber to our building. I will most likely subscribe to a 100 megabit line. This will give us download speeds about 15 times faster than what we currently have, and upload speeds an amazing 130 times faster! If you are not already on my network, you may want to give it some serious consideration for next year.
The fiber should be installed in the January - March timeframe. I'll post more details as things progress.
