A possible conversation in Sebastopol, CA in 2011
AT&T: Hello, welcome to AT&T, your incumbent duopoly telco provider. How can I help you?
Sebastopol resident: Is 18Mbps downstream and 1.5Mbps upstream the fastest you offer for FTTH U-verse customers?
AT&T: Yes, we also offer 24/3, but that is only available to customers that have copper, through VDSL, and not available via fibre to any FTTH customers. Anything else I can help you with?
Sebastopol resident: Yes, please cancel my uber slow 18/1.5. I'm switching to Sonic.net's 1Gbps/100Mbps fibre, you know, Sonic.net Fusion FTTH with 1Gbps for 69 dollars a month.
AT&T: :-o
