Buddy, you don't know what you are posting.
SBC and fiber to homes ..... huh .... that is a laugh.
Plus, your link didn't even go anywhere.

Existing homes will never see that, and only new homes will see fiber (if even that). It has nothing to do with SBC. Those new homes need to have the fiber conduits already trenched, ready, and available for usage. This means any company can put fiber to those new homes. Plus a fiber backbone needs to be close enough, and even in that case, as usual, there are half a dozen telecoms that shared the cost for putting the conduits and fiber near by. This means any of those half a dozen telecoms can provide it, or any of the 7000 other ISPs can sell the fiber through one of those providers at even a lower cost than SBC.
