One takeaway for me on this thread is that once you've installed fiber
the difference in cost between 1G and 100M is not very big if at all.
That makes a good case for just doing it for future proofing.


probably true, but also docsis seems perfectly happy to do 1gbps (or more, see atl comcast deployments of ~10 yrs ago?)
I expect that because of design things in cable plants you need 'moar headends', but.... ok.
