I know more about what fiber is where than anyone else in the WISP industry and have been helping people find solutions for ten years. I have been building a GIS system of every provider's map that I can beg, borrow or steal. I know where to find maps for most of the ones that aren't in a GIS format.
I'm now leveraging this knowledge through Erich to help people out in alternative ways. It is asinine to expect fiber delivered to your door from anyone other than the incumbents at a decent rate due to construction. You have to meet the alternative options on their turf or work through someone like Erich. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "TJ Trout" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 10:43:20 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] "Local loop" What tool are you using to find the fiber? Zayo's long haul is several blocks from this location and in my experience for them to tap the long haul is like 100k + construction to get it to me, probably would be too expensive On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 8:21 PM, Mike Hammett < [email protected] > wrote: Integra or Zayo aren't good enough? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com From: "TJ Trout" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 9:54:54 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] "Local loop" Modesto, CA. Only thing I can find without doing a PTP is at&t or some other provider with att loop. Already have Comcast at this location.

Just some common exchange where they both have facilities ? Would be a lot cheaper if I could just get the same local loop price to some internet exchange (same exchange as this quote? Who knows) where I could pickup some cheap transit... My only option at this location is att, anyone have any feedback on some arrangement that isn't uber expensive ? </blockquote>
