    A lot of the IP backbone runs right through Denver via the railroad right of way.
    This is definitely a hub, but it's not for the commoners.

    TCI? A decent company? Compared to who?

    Maybe it was a regional/division thing, but hereabouts, TCI was horrible to deal with. When Comcast took them over, no change was noted.

    After 15 years on cable with Shaw I am now going to try Telus and their new fiber optic system they have just strung through the neighbourhood and the town of Duncan........... their "up to 100 mbps" speed wants me to give them a try at 36 dollars a month.......the fiber optic connection has already been strung to the house demarc and I get connected October 29th........Has anyone else had experience with fiber optic and how did it go for you? :chin:
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt! :roll:

    I have been running Telus fiber optic internet connection 26 down 6 up for a over a week now (I am paying 36 dollars a month for it as opposed to 80 dollars that Shaw cable had just bumped me up for 20/4 service) I recommend fiber optic to anyone if it's offered to you! ...........I have a few media player issues but,I'm fairly sure it's a Chrome/Windows 7 minor conflict with my available RAM memory in place on the computer.

    PA5COR! your country has too many options for a visitor who's only going to be in town for three days but will use lots of data on his mobile ... it's making my head spin!

    The joke is that all 2 million customers at Ziggo Cable with their wi-fi modems have switched the modem on for other Ziggo costumers that can roam all over the country on an additional 10/2 Mbits connection on their gadgets.

    So, anywhere I'm in range of an Ziggo wi-fi modem I can guest use the internet on my tablet/phone/laptop for free.
    Have fun visiting our country and look around, not just using the internet ;)
