So, my city is getting gigabit fiber.

Post by MrBlah » Mon Nov 11, 2013 9:23 pm

I live in Longmont, Colorado now. We are getting our own fiber network. $50/month, no contract, Fiber terminated IN THE HOUSE, no one time installation fee, Full IPv6 support, with backbone switching hardware upgraded every 7 years. First houses get fiber next June. I'm excited. :)

Thats about what I pay for my mid range cable internet. So is this something your city decided to invest in to help bring new businesses to the area? Have fun with all that bandwidth. :dance:

Alas, my town isn't big enough for something like that for a long time. Looks like I'm riding the Charter Cable Company into the sunset. Slowly.

How much does it cost to live in Colorado? Pretty sure it beats California's prices.
