[TriLUG] OT: solar wireless mesh router

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

Good luck on getting Cary to do anything in your favor without some form
of monetary compensation. They're doing the same thing in Eagle Ridge
(in regards to running fiber to every block). Perhaps they'll drop VDSL
sometime soon.

Actually, after some quick "googling" and reading of the wiki
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_High_Speed_Digital_Subscriber_Line_2#
North_America), they mention: 

"North America

AT&T has deployed VDSL as a part of its U-Verse service and plans to
upgrade its software and firmware to VDSL2 in 2007. This should be
available to nearly 18M homes by the end of 2008."

....now that would make me drop TW like a bad habit. Their uploading cap
is atrocious! Trying to upload legitimate data back to work from home
takes so long, that I just burn it on a DVD / throw it on a thumb drive
and sneaker-net it back into work.

I found it is "Team Alliance" and they are a BellSouth installer.
BellSouth told me the fiber is NOT for FTTH. It is for expanding the
reach of DSL.
Argh!

By 2010 the USA vs Australia will be like fast internet versus dialup.
We are going to look like a bunch of goobers. Reminds me of when I went
to Germany in 2001 and they were paying per minute for Internet access
so barely used the Internet. What a bunch of retards.

Maybe The City of Cary would let a private company connect to their
fiber network.  One idea is to just "lay fiber" rather than bury it. I
know TimeWarner did this with the cables in our neighborhood. There are
100 feet runs just laying on the surface. The replacement cost must be
lower than the cost to bury.
