Ok, I work for FiberRide (mentioned in previous post), and here's the new pricing breakdown for those of you interested in what fiber to the home costs for a home owner. Remeber these connections are symetric, so you can also serve as fast as you can take.
I work for a FTTH service Provider in California, (No not Winfirst nor Competisys, the other one) and this is our current pricing. Our network is currently connected to Broadwing's Backbone.
There are monthly bandwidth limits but they are reasonable.
One thing though, we are only deploying to new home communities (Currently in San Jose, Milpitas, Santa Clara, Oakland, Sacramento, Huntington Beach, and Lake Elsinore) and are currently only providing Internet Access. We seem to feel that the reason why many of these other FTTH companies are failing is that they are spending too much money focusing on overbuilds and additional competing services. With our focus on access our take rate is high, and our network uncluttered. Now this isn't to say that we don't plan to provide video on demand, but right now, we're just trying to make sure we have our fiber in the ground.
For those of you in Texas, here are a couple other companies diong FTTH, CTT and Clearworks which is now backed by Eagle Broadband. Clearworks is using World Wide Packets Equipment.

Static IP's are $5/month a pop
When it comes to what you do with the bandwidth, we currently just ask that it's legal.
