Oh so wish my city would have gone for it. There are two problems with pursuading them to now: 1) I don't believe Utopia is taking on new cities - it still has "obligations" to the cities who have been paying in all along; and 2) The city I live in is well managed, but by fuddy duddies who are not forward thinkers. /sigh

Given enough time I'm sure Bountiful and other adjacent cities will get their fiber laid as well! ;)

ConstantineM posted : 2 miles doesn't seem like a whole lot. The fact that average people don't appreciate Utopia (or fast internet in general) may be to your advantage, because it means that you won't have to pay any premium over having it (compared to not having it).

If you own, then, yeah, maybe you should just wait and try to pursuade your city to join instead. But if you rent, I'd say go for it, and don't look back!

P.S. I was actually thinking about moving to Utah, but then I found uber-fast and cheap cloud hosting. :-)

Gork posted : I'm one city south of one of the Utopia cities, two miles from the city limit, and stuck with Comcast. :( People think I'm silly for considering moving two miles north just for Utopia...
