The video won't roll out right away because they have to negotiate franchise fees with each town first.
Wareham Ma will be wired by the end of the summer. Braintree, and Marshfield are on target and almost ready for phone and data rollout.

That alone is not a good indicator of speed as 20 comps working wirelessly on a G connection are probably only realizing 2.5-3 megs of throughput (after overhead and the near exponential loss of available pipe) when 'putin on wireless networks - even a double G wouldn't give you 5 with all of those comps.
Those towns are interesting targets, do the others, besides Braintree, have their own municiple light compaines and provide internet as well?
