A Bazillon bits per second! I have it! You don't!

[Coyote machine]

I was just upgraded to 1Gig/sec internet access through my ISP!
Nobody, and I mean NObody can beat that speed in nearly ALL of the USA.
So I've gone from DSL of nominal 24Mbps, that only delivered around 1-2Mbps on a good day, to 1Gbps on brand new fiber optic cable for, wait for it...............



NO 'MO Money!

Try beating that Comcast, or anyone else out there!

OH, did I happen to mention O'BAMA'S renewal program paid for it with a 250 Million grant to the state of Vermont!
Yeah baby, it is truly an Obama nation!

What say you, internet slackers?!:laughing::dance1::drink::thumbsup:

I guess all I can say is, You're Welcome...

Can you post a link to your provider/service.

I'm envious!

I tried to look this up...found this link... Rural Vermont phone company offering Google Fiber-like Internet speeds for $35/mo. | VentureBeat | Business | by Tom Cheredar Are you a VTEL customer??

I'm jealous. The Penguin told the internet improvement committee they should work on faster access speeds. Used tech tech terms like symmetrical up down speeds and everything. No significant funding in his budget though.

Maine was working on internet speed and coverage but The Penguin took a five year time-out to focus on really important stuff. :laughing:

I'm envious too.

I wish i had dsl or cable or anything that didn't charge by the byte, but id settle for Gig....Oh wait ill just be happy winning 150 Million in the lotto.

I wish I could just get 10% of that.

With moving, I just went from 20M (with ability to go up to 50M) roadrunner, down to 6M DSL:mur:

I really wanted TWC. It was cheaper than my current Direct TV and DSL setup, with faster internet. I am only 1300' off the main state route down a little side road. They said $19,500 and they could do it for me:laughing:

Yeah, yeah. I've got Hughes Net baby! I actually typed this back in November and you are just now reading it.

No cell service at my house, propane no natural gas.

Flip side no building permits, burn permits, nothing permits. Not many neighbors. I can shoot off my back porch and nobody minds.

1Gig is more than I can download in a month! BTW where did the "renewal program" get the money?

 

[DANOCHEESE]

Your behind the game. I have had one gig from 2 providers in Rural MN for three years. Trial fro 10 GIG starting February. This is a low latency connection with direct peering to many. Netflix CDN Google CDn and Akamai CDN on network.

Did I mention it is ring fed to my house!! Well the last 1000 feet for the drop is collapsed. We ahve had fiber to the home since 2004. People are spoiled. They have never known slow internet.
