| Re: Fiber in Tennessee said by ArkiMage :256kbit up on a 12mbit down circuit? Ugh... Pssht, Time Warner only gives you 7Mbps/384Kbps up here. 128Kbps is a minuscule difference. You can get a 10Mbps/512Kbps package for about the same price as their 12Mbps package.
I have a fiber connection and North State doesn't offer anything less than 1Mbps up except for their 768Kbps package, which is symmetrical and only $19.95/month. | |

| Fiber here in Tullahoma Our utility company has been installing fiber for the last 6 months and will be ready this fall. I can't wait 10 to 100 mbps download.
Below is a statement from the utilities board.
For the customers of the Tullahoma Utilities Board Summer 2008
Dear TUB Customers,
As General Manager of Tullahoma Utilities Board, it is my pleasure to write to you all about our
exciting changes at TUB. The employees at TUB have been working hard for more than a year to bring
Tullahoma and our electricity customers a state-of-the-art fiber optic network that will provide television,
internet and telephone services.
Many people have asked, “Why is TUB getting into the cable television business?” While it’s
true TUB will be offering television services through our fiber network, television was not the driving
factor in our decision to enter into offering additional services to our customers. The incredible broadband
speeds that are possible through the use of fiber can be a tremendous economic development tool for the
area. Being able to offer internet speeds of 100 Megabits or higher can help Tullahoma attract businesses
and industries that can compete in the global marketplace by having access to TUB’s fiber network.
TUB will be offering hundreds of channels via our fiber to the premise network with signal
strengths and picture quality like never seen before in this area. We will offer more than 35 High Definition
channels, premium channels such as HBO and Showtime, as well as pay-per-view and video on demand.
The internet packages will range from a 10M connection all the way up to a 100M connection. The
telephone service will provide unlimited long distance anywhere in the continental United States with all
the calling features. And customers will be available to keep their same phone numbers, and will be
included in the phone book just like they always have been.
We want to thank everyone who has shown their support for this project as we have moved
forward, and we look forward to providing our “new” fiber customers the same quality customer service
TUB has provided the residents and businesses of Tullahoma for more than 60 years.
If you have any questions regarding our fiber project please feel free to call our office at 455-4515,
or visit our website at www.tub.net for more information.
Sincerely,
R. Brian Skelton
General Manager

| Why is ATT launching in TN Has anyone given any thought of why ATT is launching in TN?
Take a look at the markets they are launching. They are hitting all the areas where there is a municipal overbuild. Why is that? They are hitting other areas as well, but they are concentrating on the municipal fiber builds.
I can tell you why. The fiber build are being funded by tax payers money. They have done their budget based on having just one competitor. In most cases, the local incumbent cable provider is not well liked. The municipal knows they will be able to come in and get a good portion of the customer base.
ATT is trying to send a message. ATT plans to get in and teach the municipal a lesson. They will drive the overbuilds to spend precious funds in marketing and customer acquisition. The overbuilds will eventually have to go back to the city and ask for more money and it will not be there.
Tennessee has more municipal overbuilds then any other state. ATT will use everything in their power to make sure that no one will dominant them. Tennessee is the battle ground.
I have already talked to two different municipalities that where thinking about launching fiber to the home. They have both decided to wait and see how the current providers play against ATT.
This is going to be interesting. | |
