Is anyone else in Orem, where the Metronet (or something like that)
fiber network is going in?
I'm just off Center Street, and they laid the cable last year. Comcast
cut both my TV and Internet rates (upgraded the service too) to keep me
with them, but I can still switch at any time. Now Xmission is offering
full fiber installation, and waiving all hookup fees for early adopters.
I'm content with Comcast, but I'm wondering what kind of uptime and
bandwidth I can expect from a new service. (And I've heard nothing but
good things about Xmission.)

Actually it is XMissions fault. They said it was too expensive for them
since they are based in SLC. iProvo has been accepting applications for
providers since before the roll out. Just because only one company
decided to do it at first does not mean it's a monopoly that was forced
by the city.

nice to not have to worry about their transfer quotas though.
It's not XMission's fault. iProvo established a monopoly for the
first
few years of the system (I still don't get the benefit).
