Fiber fibber

How close are we to having the holy  grail of internet here??  I'm talking of course about fiber optic internet, A.K.A. the fastest internet there is..

I was reading a site I follow on Facebook and they were  talking about their provider was upping their speed to nearly 100Mbps from the paltry 45/50Mbps ...  I was reading replies to that entry and I'm seeing the woe is me tails of having only 25 to 30 ...  And so I get my reply in there "We here in Point of Entry Nebraska  have Podunk ISP and it is as fast as you can imagine with a name like that we get around 7Mbps with days on end where we get just under 1Mbps speed.. STOP YOUR BITCHIN'.. I can only imagine speeds that fast.."   Nobody called Bravo Sierra yet..

So is it far fetched to imagine us getting that kind of speed of internet??  I think so but we have gotten broadband internet here so maybe a faster internet isn't that far away.. Hey dare to dream, and why not..

I've taken to watching over 90% of what I watch by way of the Roku which I hate to develop a habit of that kind on the "box" as I call it.. They keep adding programming to Netflix and shows I want to watch.. The sad part is some of the earlier shows were allowed to bomb for a while before developing a following and staying on for eight seasons and some even longer.. So some have over two hundred shows and that can mean watching for a while.. I can binge watch but usually what I do is watch several different shows a night rather than watch the same show episode after episode.. Except for Breaking Bad which I kinda wanted to get through before the internet completely crapped out on us.. Currently I am still quite in the middle of sitcoms Cheers, Frasier and  Coach.. Hart of Dixie is one show I've been watching once in a while, I just started watching Drop Dead Diva and Mad Men..  And I'm not at all embarrassed to admit that I watch the Andy Griffith show every now and then.. I even remember the shows from seeing them when I was little.. All those years ago.. I check older stuff out on the Archive channel.. That is so cool to watch some shows that include the old commercials in them or to just watch the old commercials.. There's a show called Batteries not included that is just a little over an hour of old commercials run back to back for that hour and beyond.. Really interesting to watch.. What is interesting is to see the price on some of the commercials (they did that back then?)  and then think what that would equal in todays money amounts.  A 25 dollar toy might cost several hundreds now..   Mom, Dad  I NEEEEEeeed that toy..
