Additionally, while their resi/soho distribution is all PON, they do have some excess fiber fairly deep into their network in most markets and actively offer active-E service on it for the right price (it can even occasionally be competitive). I imagine they'd sell dark for the right price as well, though you may not like that "right" price.
Yeah, FU pricing ain't uncommon. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra () baylink com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://www.bcp38.info 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA BCP38: Ask For It By Name! +1 727 647 1274
