100mbps Fiber Service To Your Door

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the somebody's-door-anyhow dept.

BitHive writes "With all the talk on /. about the last mile, it looks like people in Mason County, WA may get what I've wanted for years--a 100mbps fiber connection straight to their home. The ISP, DONOBi claims the personal account is 'unlimited,' but since they don't allow servers, and have a business account which is capped at 5Gb/month ($3/Gb addtl), I think we can guess at what their idea of 'unlimited' is. Their service offerings can be found here. Is anyone on this service or knows something they can report?"

    Getting fiber to my door is cool, but when will they get it to my living room? I don't have a plug for my computer at the door :(

    5Gb per month? If they really are talking about gigabits and not gigabytes, then that is somewhat ridiculous. Oh boy, I can download one CD image (of a piece of software I already have, of course) per month. What a great service.

    Why do that when you can download one that you don't already have?
