Chattanooga, TN beats Google to 1Gbps—for $350 a month
Question: would you pay $350 a month for a 1Gbps symmetrical fiber-to-the-home connection?

Answer: it doesn't matter if you can't get it.

Gigabit fiber connections simply aren't available to home users in the US, apart from those offered by a handful of small and scattered local ISPs. That changes today if you live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which will now offer 1Gbps connections across its entire service area—including the rural counties around the city—for $350.

1. That is going to make Chattanooga a very attractive place for small businesses.
Folks around here pay well more than twice that for less bandwidth.
