I lave out in the country, more or less, and no high-speed internet is offered near me, period. I'm on a waiting list for High-speed when my phone company gets around to it, which will likely be several years.
However, the phone company laid Fiber Optic lines through my front yard, under my driveway, and for who-knows-how-many miles down the road. What's up with that? Can these be used for high-speed internet? How do I go about checking into this, is it something different then the lines you folks are referring to?
