Comment WINfirst on WINfirst (Score 2) 104
I work on customer applications for WINfirst, and I can clear up a little confusion.
1. Yes, we are terminating fiber on the sides of people's homes. If you are a WINfirst customer, you will have fiber all the way to your house.
2. We're providing voice, video, and data. You can get about 300 channels of cable tv, 10/100/Gigabit ethernet connections to the net, and phone service.
3. Our prices for phone, cable and Internet on a standalone basis will be comparable with the competition but offer more features. Examples include Video on Demand for cable service and included long distance minutes with the local phone service as well as awe-inspiring speeds internet connection.
4. Price for the internet service will be in the same range as other residential services (DSL, cablemodem), but it will be low-latency, it won't be shared bandwidth, etc. etc. etc. It's the real thing. All prices are discounted when you bundle service.
5. When Wired talked about installation costing $2000, they were talking about WINfirst's cost, not the customers.
6. I'll be working on all kinds of cool applications to take advantage of our speed.
7. These are my words, not my company's. I could be wrong about details of the above. Please don't sue me.
