Chattanoogan, here — providing perspective as a user of city-supplied fiber internet:

Our local ISP, EPB Fiber (available to every. single. electricity. customer), is incredible. Synchronus 300/300, 1gps/1gps, 20gps/20gps... plus they just released the first qubit-capable fiber connections [I don't know/use this].

When they say "$57.99 per month," that's EXACTLY what appears on monthly invoices — including all taxes! And the product is revered for good reason(s).

It's SO GOOD that our state (Tennessee) has actually blocked other municipalities from implementing similar municipal fiber ISPs — and prevents EPB from offering fiber to customers outside of their electricity-supplying jurisdiction.

Asking new arrivals "Why'd you move here," you'll often find tech-types listing "The Internets" within Top5 reasons.
