Century Link has 1 Gigabit available in Denver now, but it's $150/mo :(
Everyone needs at least two choices..

#22> Crazy fast How fast is crazy fast? Symmetric Gbit? How much does it cost? Can you use your own router? Net neutrality? This page really sucks. They should learn from fiber7[0] feature list and what to put on the website. [0] https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=h... (disclaimer: i'm a very happy fiber7 customer)
symetric, $89/mos, use your own router, NN before it was cool.

Re: Ting Gigabit Fiber Internet
#23How much does it cost? Are they going to bill it like the phones on a per gigabyte basis?
$89/mos for 1000/1000 and we'll also have an entry level option as well. Not billed like we bill for mobile service, no ;-)
We've been around the internet long enough to know that its different than mobile ;-)

#24Do these guys actually lay down fiber? If so, isn't that crazy expensive, and how does that work since it seems there's a limited amount of conduit space that can be used in cities, towns, neighborhoods, etc.. In other words, not everybody and their brother can just lay down fiber.
Yup, we're laying fiber. We're also partnering and a number of other approaches as well. Charlottesville is primarily our own fiber.

Looks like Tucows is using the Ting divisions to do their next ISP project. They just bought an ISP.
I wouldn't be surprised they don't white label some ISPs (CenturyLink,Google Fiber) ? They execute pretty well. I am ting customer.
Everything we're working on now runs on our own infrastructure or muni-infrastructure. Nothing white-label in the works, although I wouldn't count it out (we're an ISP, we like to provide service, we're pretty open about how we get it to your house).

I agree, the page raises more questions than it answers. I imagine that's because they don't have the answers to those questions yet and are trying to gauge interest in different areas before working out the details, but these days we're trained to spot and ignore PR pieces, and when such crucial details are lacking I have a tough time not ignoring such stories entirely. I'll be waiting to make a comparison until the…
We've got the answers and we've got customers and we're about to go into launch mode with the full website, etc.
I'd be inclined to ignore "Press Release Rollouts" too - most telco's fiber announcements never amount to much more.

I live in Westminister, MD. Will you guys be hiring and if so for what type of positions?

Yeah, I expect we'll have a few more openings there. Right now we're hiring a City Manager for Westminster - details are here: http://www.tucows.com/careers/

#29In a few years, the US will have Internet speeds of a few years ago!
Seriously, though, I hope they're laying fibre that will give them plenty of room to deliver at least 10Gb.
