Not much, as far as I've heard. I'm in Cupertino, and I listened to a sales pitch when I called
customer service on an entirely different topic. (That's how they discourage you from calling
customer service.) They were pushing the video, not the Internet. Internet is bundled with video,
and you can't get video separately. The lowest price was $60. CS said that was for the top tier
package, but the web site said otherwise. I asked if they brought fiber to the house. CS said yes.
I think that's incorrect though; I've heard it only goes to the neighborhood. Still, that should
enable some lofty data rates. They said Express (what I have now) is available, and could be
upgraded, but I didn't ask how high a data rate I could get, or the price. As I said, they were
pushing the video service, not the Internet.
