Anyone have an update?
We have conduit to our property in Duck Haven. But it was laid in August. Come on boys, I needs me some fast internet!kyledr04 said:
Yep and duck haven. Speeds 50mbps to 1gbps. $69-149/month with data caps on two lowest plans.

Fiber infrastructure is slow going (and very expensive). Our fiber subdivisions are months behind where I want them to be.
I am somewhat confused - the buried fiber as a long haul makes sense. But they installed poles above ground with segments of only a half mile or so of contiguous cable on those poles that goes down and ties into the below ground fiber that was installed just a few weeks before the poles and the shorter, above ground runs of fiber on the poles... broken up into maybe 5-8 different runs with spaces between each.....the fiber on the poles is definitely not contiguous over the entire length of the run of poles. Why would they do that if not for individual service? There aren't any businesses out here that will be popping for $1000 a month.BrazosWifi said:
The fiber along Hwy 30 is Suddenlink long haul. It's not meant to be last mile delivery.
If you're up for a $1000/mo internet bill, suddenlink will hook you right up. (We can too over the same fiber).
BrazosWiFi - I went and looked at all the poles along 30 today to make sure I was right. There are groups of 5-6 poles that have fiber on them and go down one of the poles in the middle of the group into a box on the ground where the in-ground big fiber bundles were run just before these poles and the smaller fiber on them was put in. Are you sure it's for a long haul? Not trying to argue, but it sure doesn't seem to make sense that the smaller above ground stuff is not for local service.EBrazosAg said:I am somewhat confused - the buried fiber as a long haul makes sense.

Yes. They will allow you to buy access but it is at the enterprise pricing (starts around $1000/mo) because there are only so many strands in that bundle. It is not last-mile distribution which requires different equipment and a different topology design.EBrazosAg said:BrazosWiFi - I went and looked at all the poles along 30 today to make sure I was right.

I don't respond as CEO often because this is my personal account but I definitely don't want someone not getting a response.75AG said:
BrazosWifi, I wish you were out here in Duck Haven. At least you respond to questions about CEO, when CEO won't even respond. Or answer emails.
When it works, what speeds are you getting?deh40 said:
CEO fiber not much more reliable than satellite so far. Both days we had heavy rain the last couple of weeks it went down. Yesterday it went down four times that I am aware of.
75AG said:
That's good to hear. That's about 50 times better than I normally get! I have the line to my house, just waiting on the final connection.

Hey, for those who are complaining about having the option of fiber optic, y'all are lucky. Some of us between Duck Haven and College Station don't have a choice. Sudden Link won't come out here, Frontier DSL hubs are too far away to be effective, so we don't have a lot of choices.
Is it working?!?!? Updates. I need updates!kyledr04 said:
Putting mine in today!
