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?"

    Since I doubt the actual internet connection speed will be 100mbps, this seems like an amazing option for businesses with multiple locations in the city.

    Imagine a 100MBit connection between your offices for only $100 a month?

    How many popular sites have servers that could handle the load from a decent sized community of 100Mbps?

    Not complaining, just pointing out that YMMV.
