I would imagine this cheap rural fiber showed up after the RUS stimulus? A former employer (GCI, in Anchorage Alaska) received quite a bit of money in the form of a grant/loan for a rural fiber network (I think they may have received the largest of all grants). Would be interesting to know how much of this was as a result of dot gov funding. Sent from my Mobile Device. -------- Original message -------- From: "Constantine A.

(Really, who has 100/100 at home?)A whole lot of folks in Chattanooga... https://epbfi.com/enroll/packages/#/fi-speed-internet-100 100Mb symmetric is $69/mo, 250Mb is $139, 1Gbit is $299 Largely Alcatel/Lucent GPON. Business rates considerably higher :) They are one of our providers and we aren't "metered". I don't know how they're handling domestic rates / quotas.
There are a number of 100/100 under $100/mo providers in the US, but most of them are concentrated in various rural areas. I've tried maintaining an up-to-date list of providers with reasonable offers at http://bmap.su/, but lately haven't had the time to keep on updating it. C.
