TigerPaw, When metro-fiber is in place people will start complaining that the computer is too slow instead of the network is too slow.
That could take , mmmm 2 years.


You figure just 2 years for the fiber and the routers and switches to support it? Sounds aggressive. How about DSL into millions of homes first?
