Fiber to the home for the win!



Having cheap FTTH is the only way to go...I can't ever see going back to any of the older/slower incumbents for internet service. 1 Gbps fiber connection will be insane!

Fiber will improve your ping, but only about 5-10 ms

Just curious, how much do you pay for this connection and where is it located? I know slc, but in a residence or a business?

Its fiber optic connection installed in my home into a AT-iMG606BD FTTH gateway (modem). My ISP is XMission which cost $45/month for 100Mbps/100Mbps service.

I pay that much for AT&T 6.0Mbps down/0.5Mbps up DSL.
Have you ever gotten a speed test with big files to work at the advertised speeds? Or does it hold to the 10:9 ratio of download to upload you posted?

10.3 MB/sec = 82.40 Mbps which is slightly less than my speedtest results!

Download increased, upload about the same on the speedtest. The upload would be slightly disappointing, being about 20% lower than advertised. I would think they could hold it to within 10% of the advertised upload speed, being an all fiber network. I wonder if the lower speeds are the result of all those college student uploads and cloud work on their UTOPIA connected campuses and residences.

Oh well, maybe one day Georgia will become enlightened and do something similar. Enjoy your service.
