San Ramon, CA | Amatures This is what happens when you let a bunch of amatures provide the infrastructure.
Leave it to the pros whether it be ATT, Verizon or Sprint. | |

According to Wikipedia, Provo has about 113k people in the city proper and about 412k people in its metropolitan area. This place doesn't exactly seem like a small town out in the middle of nowhere.
Surely one can get broadband from a private operator in Provo.

| Re: Amatures I am on iProvo and just this last week got GREAT speeds compared to before. I was breaking my 10Mb outside the iProvo network. Heck, just last week I was getting 2.5MB (YES, MB as in MegaBYTE) between a friend of mine and my house (both on iProvo). I just want to test with something like iperf so there is no HD/etc. bottleneck. I have seen a little slowing yesterday and today but thats no big deal as I now know its for repairs.
I am liking iProvo and STAYING with it. | |

| Very true, private operator though. The person above me said why not let AT&T and Verizon do it. My point was that if either of these two built in the infrastructure, that it would be 10 years before the people of Provo would see the speeds they see now. | |

Sounds like a 'lowest bidder' situation to me. Hopefully they'll have some kind of recourse, unless, of course, they let the municipal sewer and water department install this in the first place instead of hiring professionals.
And ninjaturtle1 , it's "amateurs".
