This thread is pretty old. I'm not trading anymore and no longer in NYC so I don't have those lines. Everything I do these days is hosting and low latency (dark fiber) inside colo facilities. All of my connectivity outside of colo is retail these days.
I wish they would hurry up and get this moving. It is only in Kansas City right now I believe. If you look it up on their site I am pretty sure it is an amazing deal. You get TV and 1gb/sec for like $120/month. If you will pay the $300 setup fee they even offer 5mb/s line for no monthly charge. Just in an effort to get their fiber optic network spread.
