Pen, most likely it was AT&T. They are really working hard to be the fiber provider to Louisville ahead of Google. Google is supposed to be starting their rollout in the west end, so if you live there it MIGHT be Google, but with all the work I see AT&T doing around time, my bet is that it’s them.
They (AT&T) put fiber in my neighborhood and I love it. After several months of relegating my TimeWarner to second fiddle on my dual-WAN router, I cancelled that service. That’s $80 a month I can spend on other toys. The AT&T is awesome! I get between 400 and 500 mbps download and consistently 900 mbps upload. Nobody can tell me why my upload it so much faster than my download (or why my download is only half of what I am supposed to be getting), but AT&T says that is within their parameters. Since I run a variety of servers on my network, the fast upload means that someone can run a FileMaker app off my server at the full capability of their own download speeds. AT&T usually starts you off with a promotion, so in my case, my fiber actually cost less that that pitiful excuse for internet they had me on before (that I hardly used because TWC was the better service, then). That was a very easy decision to make.
