there are 6 or 8 huge FO cables in bundles going right past my house. I was told there was no way to do a single connection. I have always thought that was bullshit. I have a private tap off a 16 inch natural gas line, why can't they connect me to the FO line? I was on (slow) dial up off 60 year old phone line for years, then I had a cell phone modem for a while. now I am on wifi off a communication tower about a 1/4 mile behind my house but they can't give me the faster business connection they advertise for some inexplicable reason.
