[brlug-general] OT: Lafayette Utilities System

[James Kuhns]

Finally, after all the lawsuits/COX & AT&T hurdles, it's so close we can
taste it...

The fiber's been on the pole in our back yard for a couple weeks now...

There's a truck in front of our house right now with a crew putting up
enclosures on the poles in the area...

An article in the local newspaper said they were going to start sending out
the sign-up mailings next week, LUS said there will probably be a two week
lead time on the installations after contacting them to put one in...

No, I haven't been watching this closely and patiently waiting for this for
years ;-)

By my reckoning, we should have our drop within the next month...  Perfect
timing since I'm in the process of completely rewiring the house
(electricity, phone, satellite, and network).

They've run the main fiber cable on my street but so far I haven't 
gotten word that I can sign up.  I will sign up as soon as possible, 
though. :)
