Did either of you actually *look* at the search results? Lets take a quote from the first result: www.broadbandmarkets.com/articles/fiberDeep2.htm
With franchises in two communities and others pending, it has begun building an HFC network that will eventually deliver bundled services to roughly 280,000 residents and businesses in Contra Costa County in the East Bay area of San Francisco.
OK, let's google for THAT. http://www.google.com/search?q=overbuild+network+contra+costa+county No data, just references back to the initial press releases. I can't find any data that the overbuild *actually took place*. Your lmgtfy link's search finds 5 year old press releases about discussions to PLAN overbuilding in various locations. What I want are the Names of Specific Locations (in the SF Bay Area) where such overbuilds are currently in place and serving customers. jc

original question "was" and I know at least rcn. astound bought out their SF operation when I was leaving but a trivial search show they still service where we did and have added. -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE

Or conversely, they tried and failed. I found Astound Broadband through the lmgtfy link (yes, I did look and read, thanks) and they appear to be alive. But I don't live in California to verify that personally. ~Seth
