On the splicing side I have "heard" prices as low as $8 per fiber. I was working in Ft.Wayne about 2 years ago and it was $15 for the small stuff. When they cut the price almost in half, I can only imagine the quality they will get for that. Serves them right for being penny wise and dollar foolish. Pay a reasonable price to get good people or pay a lot more later.
