Founder in Chattanooga (our company went through YC). Pretty impressive announcement by EPB today.

If anyone out there is being priced/ squeezed out of the Bay, or is interested in building a startup off the coasts - feel free to ping me.

There are a lot of exciting things happening here.

You're doing God's work creating alternative scenes for tech companies outside of the Bay Area. Thank you.

Thank you. Download is $300/ month. What's the upload speed cost ?

Edit: website says upload and download. Amazing. Tempted to rent or buy a little office space in Chattanooga.

I have the EPB 1 gigabit service, and it's 1 gigabit up and down for $69.99/mo. There is no reason to think the 10 gigabit service will be anything but symmetrical.

Can you run commercial servers for that price or is that only for residential users?

EPB has different (more expensive) pricing for businesses. But it's still a whole lot cheaper and a whole lot faster than a DS3.

We have a business with 100mbit for $57.99, but last time I got a quote for higher speeds it was around $99.99 for 175 mbit and $153.99 for 270 mbit. They also charge us 14.99 for a static IP address.

2nd data point here. I "only" have the 100 Mb plan and last time I ran a speed test I actually went a bit higher than 100 Mb on my upload speed.

Hey Brian!

I remember stopping by the office back during the fireplug days and having a chat with Travis and the team! Happy to hear of the ambition progress in the press
