[TriLUG] ATT gigabit internet quick review

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

Well 3Mb DSL is the ONLY choice in our neighborhood, with Time
Warner/Charter the next street over offering 300Mb.

I'm trying to start a neighborhood co-op.  Both AT&T and Charter will run
fiber at metro-e pricing.

I'll keep you posted on our progress with that.
