| Congrats Lafayette I would like to be able to enjoy service comparable to this. I live ~50 miles west of Philly, and will be the last to see service on par with FTTH. I can get (and have) Comcast for internet, and the service has been good, although I think that I am last in line for the latest upgrades from Comcast. There is no competition here. I can't get (and couldn't live with) DSL from Frontier (with their lovely 5GB/month in+out) because I am 22000 feet from the CO, no path for satellite (quite a step backwards from Comcast), failed site surveys for wireless, and no hope that Verizon will come in and save the day. I can get dial-up, and T1, and would be VERY happy to have symmetrical 50MB for what I pay now. I would settle for 5MB symmetrical  Hats off to Lafayette for making this happen. I sincerely hope that this proves to be maintainable in all ways. |

| wow congrats! I am sure after millions of dollars in lawyer fee's this must feel good to finally get it up and running.
That is how I felt when UTOPIA opened it's doors. Qwest and Comcast both tried to stop them and Qwest convinced the city it would build up and guess what, they have not done SQUAT! So now SLC is quickly falling behind the curve because the lawmakers listened to their pockets instead of their heads.
That pricing is great as well, looks like the UTOPIA pricing as well.

kudos:1 | Wow, now that is a deal. Great job on fighting the money hungry cable/telco providers.
Lets just hope they don't attach usage limits when pipes start to get saturated.
Very nice prices, no one can compete with that. Not even FiOS. |
