If mediacom keeps hosing me over I might just try to find out what it would cost to drag fiber from 44 to Hwy-6 in Waukee although since that new Team server farm is just up the road I'd be surprised if it wasn't already nearby.<br>

@jim - just sharing what I know<br>
<br>
PanoraTelco had two fiber lines run into town about 10 years ago. They<br>
continue on through and to the CO in Guthrie Center, from my understanding.<br>
They're buried in the south ditch on highway 44... from [approximately]<br>
Grimes to Guthrie Center, that is.<br>
<br>
I haven't seen many farms for sale ON the highway, but I don't use 44 much.<br>
And not that "fiber" would necessarily be available, but, the potential is<br>
there if you're willing to do some footwork and are really wanting out of<br>
the `burbs.<br>
<br>
I think Mr. Weis may be the best resource to invoke in finding out what<br>
would need done. (I don't know that the folks in the office would have an<br>
answer as quickly as Dave could - I know a few of the PanoraTelco linemen,<br>
but not the engineers)<br>
