Are you seeing adds for RCN in the paper? It all started when I read about a weird thing in the local paper. It seems that Boston Edison and some other little firm had placed the city council's underwear in a knot because they had petitioned to pull fiber all over town and the dead-line for the council to respond was only two weeks. They needed more time. But legally Edison and the other little company were entitled to their permit.
Turns out the other little company was RCN.
So, six months later I'm seeing adds about how bad NYNEX is (did we need to be reminded?) and how they are going pull fiber into our houses and give us phone, cable and Internet.
I want to believe. I want the fiber. I want a gigabit network connection. But can they really do it? I'm not sure I want to give up my copper phone and copper cable connection just yet.
But if they did pull fiber to my house. Wow. That would be cool. And, if they did they could give me phone, cable and Internet and it would probably be cheaper and only one bill. Humm...
