I have a similar set up in Lawrence, KS. I have fiber in my back yard that supposedly runs to a nearby box that converts it to copper. I was trying to improve my dial up connection (I was only getting 28.8). When the techs told me about the fiber in the path, i asked them how they were going to provide me with DSL. Their response was that they'd have to swap cards in the boxes (they had already done this once to provide me with ISDN when I worked for a different company.
Perhaps they just don't wan to pay for the card changes. I went with cable and haven't looked back.
If you are interested in unix (or web servers or Oracle/SQL), we have summer internships in the QA department at Netopia. I've even got a couple of full-time positions I'm trying to fill in San Jose/Alameda. pfterry@netopia.com
