We were one of the first neighborhoods to get Utopia. When I got the fiber installed to my house my ISP footed the $100 installation fee when I signed up for a one year contract. That was quite a few years ago. I figured it would still be cheap now. I tried to get a friend onto utopia about 6 months ago. It's now $1800 for them to drop a line to your house and put in the UPS and access point. That's if it's available in your neighborhood. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
