“If you can get FTTH (actual fiber to your home), it's a big upgrade in terms of stability and consistent speeds. I switched recently and the difference during peak hours is noticeable - especially for video calls, streaming, and uploads.”
“Our fiber service had a major outage on Saturday with no specified timeline for it being restored. This left me scrambling to find a quick solution.”
“No issues with my internet, hardwired fiber, 1GB down/up, all ports open for the game - quite infuriating honestly.”

View on FCC Broadband MapEPB is why I moved to Chattanooga. 10 Gbps symmetrical for $299/month is insane but even their basic plan is amazing. Community-owned, no corporate BS, excellent customer service. This is what broadband should look like everywhere.
