Century Link has 1 Gigabit available in Denver now, but it's $150/mo :( Everyone needs at least two choices..
I don't think I'd jump on that even if it was cheaper. My experience with Century Link is even worse than Comcast.

#42If you guys want to fuck up Comcast, head to the Twin Cities. We're one of their biggest markets, and there's a reason why we have a few fiber competitors here already making them sweat. One is CenturyLink. Another is a local ISP.
Yes, I said it, local ISP.

CenturyLink installed FTTH here a few days ago. When I called Comcast to cancel, it sounded like they intended to put up a fight until I mentioned the word "gigabit." Immediately took the wind out of the poor rep's sails.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's intersting. I know in Blacksburg, if this was to come to town, people would switch en masse. Other than internet on campus, the quality is terrible.
I can recall fiber proposals from the late nineties in Blacksburg, back when bev.net was a big thing. The proposals to route fiber around the town died in process; I don't recall why, but it surely involved who would pay for it and who would profit.
Surprisingly, there actually IS fiber in Blacksburg. At one of the co-working spaces downtown, they got gigabit internet two years ago. But sadly it hasn't extended from there and the project itself barely got funded.

#45I would like to say, having used Ting for a while. Its customer service was amazing. You called, someone picked up immediately. They worked for ting, and it was not outsourced. So they resolved my issue within 5 minutes and I got a email transcript within the hour detailing what happened. It was awesome. Plus Ting was cheap af, I would spend like 10$ a month for a smart phone. Its data service was extremely slow, whi…
Ting has GSM in beta (T-mobile resold) so it might be worth checking them out again if you have decent T-mobile LTE coverage in your area.

If you feel like giving us another chance, we've got Ting in GSM which might resolve the Ting on CDMA data issues you experienced.
Thanks for the kind words about our customer service. Our team thrives on great feedback like this :)

Been with you guys since 2012 - please don't ever change the way you do customer service. If you had fiber in the Mid-Atlantic region I'd have already signed up. Keep kicking ass!
P.S. I converted my family and I've got some converts at work now too. The customer service is key, plus whoever came up with that calculator to compare costs between Ting and the users' current provider needs a big fat bonus.

#48> 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. (oBDisclaimer: I work for Ting)
No data caps I hope.
Re: Ting Gigabit Fiber Internet
#49It's an ISP. Am I missing something?
The difference is that it's a company with a track record of providing awesome customer service in their mobile phone service, so the prospect of a fiber isp with fantastic customer service is exciting in this land of Comcast and Verizon.
Re: Ting Gigabit Fiber Internet
#50How 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 ;-)
Heads up - update your open graph tags.
When I share this on Facebook it's still showing mobile copy "Ting is a new mobile phone service..."
