Lucky buggers in Kansas City.....I was wondering when they were gonna lay out fiber optic lines...turns out North Kansas is one of the firsts I think, it will take quite a while for it to spread across alot of major cities, but Im still waiting.

 

[kc-tr]

Yes I do belive they are one of the first ones to go full fiber.

No service in Tucson! Damn you Verizon!

Wait... I think Cox is offering only to limited areas and only to businesses.

 

[OCZedd]

Wow, 500 times. Thats like 28MBit.
