It hasn't happened in my neighborhood yet, although I suppose it's just
a matter of time.  I wish Verizon would hurry up and roll out their
"Fios" (i.e. Fiber to the Premises) service already.  They've been
taunting me -- the fiber has been on the pole just in front of my house
for about a year, and supposedly Reading, where I live, is supposed to
be one of the first towns getting the service.  15 Mbps down/2 Mbps Up.
Should be sweet if they're even close.
