Cox has already threatened to sue and they have stopped it. I don’t blame them. Why are these stupid cities falling all over themselves to Google to cherry pick the best areas when they tax and regulate the local companies that have much wider coverage and employ people locally. Tempe also cut the really stupid deal that caused their citywide mesh to fail because they wouldn’t let the vendor make a profit. This is why you keep government people out of private industry, they are clueless.

Also, the costs are going *DOWN* EPB has 100Mbps FD FTTH for $57.99/mo. 1Gbps is $69.99/mo. 10Gbps is $299/mo US Internet is 50Mbps for $39.95/mo, 100Mbps for $47.95/mo, 1Gbps for $65/mo 2.5Gbps for $99/mo, 5Gbps for $199/mo, and 10Gbps is $399/mo CSpire is $70/mo for 1Gbps wireless (not sure how they are providing this), and $80/mo for 1Gbps AT&T is 80Mbps for $80/mo, or 1Gbps for $110/mo - down to $80/mo for 1Gbps in markets where it competes or plans to compete with Google Fiber (which is $70/mo for 1Gbps). That's 18 markets today, 23 markets in 1st part of the year Here's the Comcast xfinity 2Gbps map (what they claim anyway): http://www.xfinity.com/multi-gig-offers.html DOCSIS 3.1 rollouts are happening now, as well as G.FAST. Sonic in California has also been rolling out 1Gbps FTTH, although I am unsure of their pricing. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 250Mbps and up in 50+ major US markets by the end of the year, for under $75/mo.
