EPB Fiber Optics... I can't wait!
I'm very excited about EPB's fiber-to-the-home initiative. It's going to bring truly high-speed internet services to Chattanooga and Hamilton County. Of course I want faster internet, but the real benefit is having a true high-speed citywide network.
And if anyone doubts the need for improved service, check out the video below...
...or read this FAQ.
Even though it seems EPB is moving pretty quickly towards it's plan for a unique FTTH network in Chattanooga, they've still got a couple hurdles to overcome. The cable industry and Comcast are suing to stop EPB from providing improved, necessary service that Comcast isn't willing to provide.
But for anyone whose anticipating the FTTH network as much as me, you'll probably enjoy this lengthy description of a Veriozon FioS subscriber's installation.

I'd like them to clarify what exactly will be talking place in 2009. Once article a few days ago suggested they will be 'signing up' subscribers by then, but the article in the TFP today suggests subscribers will have service by that time. Maybe it's time to give EPB a little ring-a-ling.
