and though have both written in to note that the entire city of Lincoln, Nebraska is getting gigabit fiber. According to the Lincoln Journal Star, the city has struck a deal with Nebraska-based fiber ISP Allo, in a deal that will bring gigabit fiber to the home service to every residence and business in the city by 2019.
Allo will be piggybacking off of existing fiber and using city conduit to complete the build, with the first customers expected to come online sometime next summer.
The service will be going head to head with Time Warner Cable and Windstream Communications, neither of which has a reputation for cutting edge network upgrades.
"This partnership will increase Lincoln's ability to compete on a global stage, create new and exciting educational opportunities and make our city a destination for next-generation businesses that could not have considered us before," Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler said of the announcement.
There's no word yet on pricing, but Allo currently offers 100 Mbps service for around $55 a month. The company says it will be dividing the cities up into 100 different areas and will soon decide how to proceed with the build. There's more detail on the company's plan to wire Nebraska with fiber by 2019 in the
company's FAQ.
A city in Nebraska is getting all the attention (at least for a day). I hope my part of Lincoln can get it sooner than 2019!
