Ziply Fiber is using Ethernet connections to power a new 50-Gig residential broadband service that costs $900 per month, plus a $600 installation fee. The speedy offering demonstrates the power of Ziply's network, CEO Harold Zeitz says.
This is a publicity stunt and an ad, no, residential users don’t need it. No one is gonna sign up, but it’s viral marketing targeted to land in exactly places like this and we eat it up
If I had this I’d probably just become the neighborhood ISP, sell 1 gig symmetrical to 49 houses for $100/mo and you’re no longer paying for that connection after 9 customers
Permits, a mini JCB, buried fiber runs and stuff would be expensive though… as well as routers for each customer… ah maybe I’d pass on that business opportunity actually 😅
why? does anyone need this?

You could probably also run a pretty mean Wi-Fi connection. Like neighborhood mesh Network, $50 a month per person.
You could probably sell a 1gig service to 200 users on a 50gbps line. That’s how GPON works and mostly people don’t have issues.

Why do we need anything more than a 56k modem? It’s already way faster than my 9600 baud setup.
