How fast is crazy fast? Symmetric Gbit?
How much does it cost? Can you use your own router? Net neutrality?
This page really sucks. They should learn from fiber7[0] feature list and what to put on the website.

The state refused to give Verizon tax breaks years ago, so they abandoned their plans to ever deploy FiOS within Boston city limits. Surrounding communities have it, but we don't -- only Comcast. Now, to be fair to Comcast, I've never had a service problem save for 1-2 days in the past 6 years. They were also very quick on IPv6 and 6-to-4, and they actually deliver the bandwidth I pay for. Yet I would gladly pay for yet more bandwidth.
I imagine that's because they don't have the answers to those questions yet and are trying to gauge interest in different areas before working out the details, but these days we're trained to spot and ignore PR pieces, and when such crucial details are lacking I have a tough time not ignoring such stories entirely.
I'll be waiting to make a comparison until there are details published and an established user base who can supply feedback about the provider's customer support quality and can verify the numbers in their marketing material.
I'd be inclined to ignore "Press Release Rollouts" too - most telco's fiber announcements never amount to much more.
