Re: All ISPS Marginal
said by truocchio  :Fourth, the only fiber based muni project, UTOPIA, has caps on their services too. If you think the government entities are going to be an open access free for all you are sadly mistaken and have learned nothing from history. UTOPIA (acronym for Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency) is *NOT* an ISP, they are nothing more than the infrastructure/connection for wired services. XMISSION, AT&T, MSTAR, NUVONT, and VERACITY are the current ISP's you can sign up for if you subscribe to UTOPIA. Note that QWEST is not there (I understand that UTOPIA was originally going to be in the service end as well as the connectivity part, but QWEST bought a law that prohibited that?).
I guess you can say they cap, residential users only get 100 Mbps service while businesses get 1 Gbps. Only problem is, at this time I think the 100 Mbps is shared among the net, TV, telephone, radio, and what ever else is there. So if you only have internet service and the ISP allows it, the entire 100 Mbps can be internet (do not know if that is 100 Mbps total, or 100 in each direction).
