    Thank you for posting the link to EPB’s internet page…offering up to 1Gbps (125 MegaBytes per second).  This story goes on the long list of stories about internet speed in the US that does NOT mention EPB or Chattanooga.  I don’t get why they never get mentioned…

    It’s not really relevant though… nobody is claiming fast speeds aren’t available, it’s obviously about averages.

    Everyone I know has a higher speed than these reports claim… but I’m not doubting the reports when you take into account and average out everyone (I obviously hang out with a bunch of geeks, lol).

    if you look at the Chattanooga area cities on this page: http://www.netindex.com/download/3,147/Tennessee/ you’ll see the avg download speeds range from 16Mbps up to 23.8 Mbps.  If you convert those to MBps (like the speeds in the article) that comes to 2MBps to 2.975 MBps … which is better than almost ALL of the “Fastest cities” on the list.  THAT is why it is annoying.  The fastest connection leads to the fastest avg dl speed…

    How is this measured? I’m at the Rochester Institute of Technology and when we run speedtest.net we hit 90mbps or more on a regular basis…
