The price will be high, of course. Comcast's 2Gbps fiber
service costs $300 a month plus one-time installation and
activation fees of up to $1,000. Comcast says it will build
fiber to any home that's already within a third of a mile of its
fiber network, but reports a few weeks ago from Stop the Cap and
DSLReports suggest that some potential customers are having
trouble signing up for the service.
