Ken,
Our power company installed a separate fiber optic system a little over a
year ago, and I hooked up early as a beta test customer. They now supply my
connections to power, telephone, televison, and the internet. It is nice to
have a known voice answer when I call them with the occasional need for some
coaching on DVR fine points, or, as of yesterday, an intermittent email
problem.
