The telephone company in my area has promised that my house will get faster speeds than DSL. Which is 5 to 6MBps down and 0.5 MBps up. This has been a promise for 10 plus years.

There is a fiber optic line 3 houses down... but it stops on the other side of a 10' wide creek. Not sure why though. I wonder which would be cheaper... for them to go back to an overhead pole and track over to the next pole on the other side then back to underground. Or to trench the creek. Either way, this fiber has been there since the 80's.

Thankfully Comcast has the ability to provide faster internet... 160 down and 15 up.
