Just in case you didn't know, ATT is rolling fiber to the house in new
subdivisions in San Antonio. I've got it ;) (okay, I'll stop rubbing it
in now)

Not that I can use the fiber to it's fullest. They've got to work out
the legislation so that they can do IPTV (yes, it is cable damnit, and
you cannot track what I watch, how long i watch it for, and how often I
watch.) I've got approx 4mbit down and 2.5mbit up. According to the
techs that I spoke to that were setting it all up, they've planned for
28mb/s for each house:
20mbit for internets
8mbit for IPTV
some insignificant kbits for a phone line

It'd be great if they'd get their shit in gear.

Oh, I'm paying 80 a month for this, because I wanted a static IP. I
couldn't get just one, however, I had to get 5. Even though I only
needed one. There's a reason we've got IP shortages.... Stupid ISPs.

This kinda trailed on into a rant type thing, so I'm going to cut it off
now.
