In our area in a smaller city (aprox 7.000 people) we have
100Mb/s fiber right into the appartment. That includes:
- The 100 Mb/s (10 Mb/s "up") connection as such.
- IP-TV with aprox 20 channels incl some in HD.
- IP-telephone subscription (call fees not included).
This costs aprox $35/month incl 10 years full replacement
support on the equipment (fiber converter, router and TV
set top box).
