That's less than six minutes of downtime a year: this looks like it's going to be quite a challenge to meet. |

It's a muni.
What if the uptime is only 99% and the price goes up to $22 bucks a month.
Would you pass on that good deal?? |

Even if the uptime falls to 90 % who cares look at the price to speed ratio. Plus it falls on fiber, the only equipment that may fail off the go is probably the access points. Either which way thats a good start for the community. We need more like this to start.

Of course but company 'promises' that uptime for low fee 
Maybe they can, maybe they can't. Who cares if it's dead-on accurate, or just close? Would 95-98% be terrible? Can't be worse than current ADSL or cable uptime stats. They know their cost structure better than any of us. Looks like a great deal to me. If it were available here, I'd sure consider it. I'm paying $50/month for 1.5/768 w/great latency and uptime. It would sure be nice to have 3mbps synchronous for less than a third of my current service. |

Heh, Chaska is a decent town. You'll have to drive to the cities for any excitement though. 
EDIT: Chaska is southwest of Minneapolis, it's NOT a St. Paul suburb.  |

If it were Comcast I would say they mean 99.999% uptime of their billing computer and lawyers, but with a muni, who knows. Sounds like a claim from someone unfamiliar with providing this type of service. Even consumers don't expect 99.999% uptime.

Wouldn't go there.... our fiber ring at work went down and it turned out to be a patch wasn't applied properly allowing dirt to get in the ring. Fiber is not seemless.

When properly checked issues like that don't happen. What i mean is that fiber is the strongest point on the chain.
I guess you can chalk that mess up you all had to pilot error. In any fiber application you are taught to clean every connection no matter what before plugging in.

It was clean, ring had been up for a year... just somehow that patch came undone. Then of course you have fiber seeking backhoes. |
