I open a letter from ISP that they want to compete with google fiber

. But you have to have fiber laid out to where you live then cat-5 going from it to the modem. They put the fiber to house for free. I believe when new portion of house was built there might have been charge on cat-5 from fiber to modem I am not sure. So I guess biggest part is you need fiber not just a phone line like normal dsl.

So they offer a great deal and I go up to 1000 Mbps for 10 more dollars then I was paying. Yes i know insane good deal. It is not like most ISP's as it is really owned by it's users ( a Co-Op). No you will not find many ISP's like this but I am lucky.

It is just an insane amount of bandwidth I tried to think of way to legally monetize it but have not found good one yet. On a side note it is going to cost me a decent chunk on a new router my old router goes up to around 750 Mbps, but I am going to purchase one that does closer to the 1000 Mbps. They offer one from the ISP, but I like owning my own router.

I'd wait till it's actually installed before you get excited about the upgrade. I've been twice upgraded for free promising double the speed etc but the actual speed was actually no where near what they offered.
