Orthogonal to this post, why would anyone want AT&T fiber anyway? Who cares if you have 1gbps to the first hop if AT&T et. al refuse to peer at more than 1gbp with L3, Cognet, Hurricane Electric, etc it's worthless.

It would still be acceptable for a large number of folks who do primarily browsing/downloading, but for Netflix et al (which is quickly becoming the primary means of entertainment for a lot of people), it's not worth it. I'd say 10Gbp peering or it's not worth it.
