I would like to know this to, even though I don't think it will be anytime soon.  SBC has had fiber optic laid down all the major streets in my city (Raytown, MO) for about five years now, ever since we had most of the streets and such redone.  On all of the poles behind the houses, also, are the little signs that say "Careful when digging Fiber Optic Wires burdied here, call this number etc. etc.  So, if and when they do decide to go ahead with Lightspeed, I think it would probably be quick to come here, maybe, due to the fact that fiber has already been laid.  Dunno though.

fine, it's in the street. how much you want to pay for install to have them dig to your house and lay fiber inside from the nearest node?

You'll see SBC Lightspeed in Texas first.  They are agressively trying to compete with Verizon and now that the Texas franchise laws have been changed, they have even more incentive.  And I'm not talking about just the data side.  They are also working feverishly on their IPTV Video offerings.  See http://www.microsoft.com/tv/IPTVEdition.mspx for a glimse of that (from what I hear).

I have the fiber to the home.... have had it for 2 1/2 months now speeds now are about 5Mbps down and 1.5 up first of the year it should be 15Mbps down and 10Mbps up great service at a great price.  19.99 a month for the net not a bad deal

I know that its only available in a few cities,  I lucked out Richardson is SBC's test city so we get all the good stuff first.  I havnt been able to find it on any of sbc's websites only way i knew about it is because I splice a lot of verizon's fiber for there FTTP stuff...
