Allen,

I live in Chattanooga,Tennessee. Oddly enough, our power company here = ran fiber all across its user area. So anywhere you can get EPB Power servi= ce, you can get 1Gb up/down internet.

Had to go buy a new router just to handle the throughput. = =A0it's crazy fast though.. I get about 935Mbps down and 918Mbps up on = Speedtest.net

They also do TV and phone, although we only have TV and Internet with them.= My TV portion of the bill is actually more expensive than the internet por= tion.

Here's their site if you want more info.

ht= tps://epbfi.com/internet/


The really c= ool thing.. when we first moved here 2 years ago.. I bought in to the 100Mb= package.. they had 30, 100, 350 and 1gb i think.. =A0=A0

The 100Mb was around $115 per month, and I was happy as a clam... =A0The= n the next year they said "Happy birthday to us! anyone with 100Mb now= has 200Mb, and anyone with 30 now has 50!"

Everyone was pretty = happy with that..
Then this year, they had another birthday announcement..=A0

"Ok.= . anyone who has 100mbps or higher, at this moment now has our 1Gbps plan..= . and it'll only be $69.99.."

So along with a SUPER spee= d increase for free.. they lowered my bill by about 45 dollars per month...=

I still can't believe it really.. There's no "cap" to= anything, and they have specific terms in their contract that state that t= hey do not monitor your usage or "shape" any traffic, etc.

It's been rock solid for 2+ years without a single down-time, or slo= w downs at all..=A0

To keep this on topic some

Dropbox can uplo= ad a 4GB file in around a minute or two.. (across country to California ser= vers) =A0I get about 35-45MBps uploads to DropBox consistently.. (this conn= ection tops out at about 128MBps, that's MegaBYTES, not MegaBITS) basic= ally before I can even check, my file is already live on their servers and = able to share off to a client or colleague.


I've actually gone to a friend's house.. used his gig= abit connection to remote connect into my computer and do After Effects wor= k on it as if there's no remote connection at all.. it just ran like I = was hooked up to my PC at home..=A0

Anyway.. I guess that's the long rant of it.. =A0If anyone has any s= pecific questions about service with them or any other tests they'd lik= e me to do, let me know off-list and I'll get back to you.
