Seems like Raleigh/Durham is way behind in getting fiber-to-the-home/curb given the population of technophiles. IPTV might just be enough to get DirectTV and TWC to quit with their overpriced offerings. I thought FiOS would be here first but U-Verse is heavily involved with Microsoft and that I like for 360, VistaMediaCenter integration, and wishful TV-to-Zune options. SWEET!

The only question is when and in what order markets will come on line. This is all thanks to the new legislation that enabled AT&T to negotiate with the state rather than the corrupt officials in Raleigh, Cary etc. whose votes were bought by Time Warner decades ago. I can't get satellite (no clear view of the southern sky) and will weep for joy when I can fire Time Warner once and for all.

TWC is horrible, i've gone through 3 boxes and a disgruntled service tech that has no clue how to fix it. now ever since they "upgraded" the cable box software, i have to turn my cable box on and off every time i turn the damn channel. ugh. (for those who are lost with the barry bonds thing,,,think steroid enhanced) i believe that’s because at the end of the street there will be a barry bonds version of a wireless access point, where the houses on the street will link up to. they have this in atlanta now and i can’t wait until it comes here.

They did not bring it to each house, just from the main entrance and down all the streets. I'd say it is a good bet. -Ed I live in North Raleigh, and early this summer A&T&T & their contractors tore up our yards to lay fiber through the whole neighborhood (about 350 houses).
