Chattanooga, TN gets World's first Residential 10GB Internet Speed (Gotta go fast ya'll) - Polidicks

[QUOTE]CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -Chattanooga is now offering the world’s first 10 gigabit (10 Gig) Internet service to be made available across a large community-wide territory. Unlike point-to-point commercial installations, which have been possible for some time, EPB’s 10 Gig service is now available for access by every home and business in a 600 square mile area through Alcatel-Lucent’s TWDM-PON broadband technology. The 10 Gig residential service is available everywhere in EPB’s service area for $299 per month. The price could be lower in the future, depending on how many customers use it. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]“Five years ago, Chattanooga and Hamilton County became the first in the United States to offer up to 1 Gig Internet speeds,” said Harold DePriest, president and CEO of EPB in a news release. “Today, we become the first community in the world capable of delivering up to 10 Gigs to all 170,000 households and businesses in our service area.”[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/30270239/epb-to-make-major-announcment[/URL]

To think the state of Tennessee is taking them to court to prevent them from offering internet to the surrounding communities.

$300 a month, jeez. My HDD can't even write as fast as it would download. Hell even my SSD wouldn't be able to I haven't been to Chattanooga in about 12 years. I'm not sure there's even a business large enough that could utilize it

I was wondering when someone would get full use out of a Cat7 cable.

He's about as big business as you can reasonably be without being a completely soulless husk of a man. It's no real surprise the state's suing them over this.

Especially considering the fact that it's just starting out with the price expected to start climbing down.

I thought I was cool when I got gigabit. Now I want more, MORE I only pay 70$ a month though, which is cheaper than comcast's "hey I guess it's fast!" package which is like 30 down 2 up.

His ping was 1ms and the needle just shot all the way to the max in a single frame with the numbers 660Mb appearing under the speed climbing all the way to 930 with absolutely ZERO variation in the speed. A 100% steady stream of downstream. I was depressed. I'm lucky if mine hits 70 when I pay for 100 at 3AM, my upload is never above 5 even though I'm supposed to get 35. I pay more than you. my ping is never below 40 and that's the direct fiber connection to the first server my connection can hit, and the download comes in looking like a heart monitor because the speed bounces all over, and more than a minute of continuous downloading (Even something small like a stream or gaming) my downstream will cut out for a few seconds. Basically no internet, until it comes back. So every minute or two, I'll have a few seconds where I'll get timed out/connection interrupted/Buffer a stream. Very annoying, especially in gaming.

I wanted to live in Lund a handful of years back, when they started offering 10gbit connections to select areas there. As it stands right now, installing optical fiber to my current apartment is apparently planned for early next year. It's a beautiful time we're living in.

Everyone is so quick on calling "haha 1st for 10GBe!" But Minneapolis did it in 2014 [URL]http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2474181,00.asp[/URL] Oh, but somewhere in North Carolina claimed in, september 2015 [URL]http://www.wired.com/2015/09/first-us-city-10-gb-internet-salisbury/[/URL] New York City? You fuckin betcha ass thats already happened [url]https://golightpath.com/1gb-10gb[/url] North Kansas City (KCFiber) will be offering 10GBe very soon here too. But hey, everyones the fucking first right? Oh lets not be so competitive, we're all winners here because there is literally no residential use for 10Gbe.

There are definitely residential scenarios that would benefit from 10gb fiber.

I just moved out of there too. Ugh when is Atlanta going to get some better internet options.

This is shit, would still take nearly a minute to download GTA 5. Fuckin slow.

So if I average 15MB/s downloads from steam, and 10Gb is about 90x more bandwidth than my internet, that's pushing gigaBYTE per second downloads. You'd literally max out any SATA3 device

The highest speed we can get in Montgomery is 5 mbps. :disappoint:

I live in the city Tesla motors is based and the fastest home internet we can get is 19mbps

Chattanooga is a really weird name

Chattanooga sounds like the name of a foreign camsite.

That's neat and all, but trust me, 1Gbit is more than plenty. Even large game updates don't take much longer than 5-10 minutes to download.

Here's the sad thing: 10GB internet is almost certainly pointless as the hardware you are writing it to and the servers you are downloading from could never max that speed out. Steam is one of the [I]few[/I] services online that actually can push the limits on your connection but even still it doesn't quite hit it from what I've heard with people who have had 1GB internet. Doing xbox/PS4 downloads? Your speed is still going to be no faster than basic broadband. Streaming already loads almost instantly for people with reasonably fast internet (50MB+).

Whats the point though, 10gbit hardware is expensive, and thus not really that useful for most customers. I mean like, would you buy new routers (maybe switches too) AND for your computer to use the full speed you'll most likely need a PCIe card too. And under those circumstances you need drives fast enough to utilize it. Even if you could split it using a big switch, you'd need at least 10 users to take advantage of at least gigabit.

[QUOTE=Revenge282;48930155]"Who needs more than 10Mbit?" Signed, 1995[/QUOTE] To be fair, back then, if you gave a residential user a 10 Mbit connection, it would be massive overkill. Most of the internet couldn't take advantage of those speeds, and the average hardware wasn't really up to snuff to fully utilize those speeds when a "decently sized" HDD was 500 MB. Which sounds a lot like 10 Gbit right now. Sure it would be nice, but there is no practical use for it currently. That being said, when we do reach that point, it will be great that the infrastructure to handle it is already in place.
