Anything that expands gigabit Internet is great in my book! It's encouraging to see more & more competition to the incumbent behemoths. I can only hope it spurs them on to further fiber deployment and, more importantly, more plans with lower prices & less data caps.

WOW, $499 for 100/50? I knew prices in the US were high but holy crap.

Man, are you really saying that prices in US are high!? Here in my country we pay $US130 for 10/1 or $US 50 for 3/1 so be thankful.

It is encouraging but I'm going to put on my pessimist hat and say that the incumbents (Comcast, AT&T, Verizon) are going to find some way to put the kibosh on this, probably by whining to elected officials.
What we really need is local loop unbundling, something that Title II classification for ISP's (the classification they should have already been under) would bring.

Down/Up Cost
Blue 25/5 $59.95
Orange 50/10 $99.95
Green 75/20 $189.95
Brown 100/50 $499.95

I didn't see anything that said annual. I'm pretty sure those are monthly fees. Those prices don't surprise me as monthly either for fiber which isn't available everywhere. If you wanted cheap internet you'd probably be looking at DSL or cable, not fiber.

LUS Fiber customers do not have to wait months to get their Internet service! And they were tied for fastest home Internet in the world- which is awesome!

Nothing special unless you get symmetrical internet

I am glad for the FCC changes, it looks like many new players are able to enter the ISP market recently. Now with a change in the regional ISP services, we can start to see nationwide networks.
