A small town near me (6,000 population) installed fiber optic around down and now it’s considered a public utility and low cost to boot.
Yea we are in the Chattanooga area and enjoy gigabit symmetrical fiber for $67/mo. No taxes or extra fees, just the 67. It's a big part of why we chose to live here.
Howdy neighbor I’m in Tri-Cities. :)
Here gigabit would be around 8-16$/mo.
To be fair, $65/month for gigabit fiber is pretty standard.
It's what we got here in Southern Illinois, although I don't use it.
Lol I'm paying $100 a month for 500mbps asymmetrical and I know others have it worse too
