The (Minneapolis) Star Tribune reports

"The fastest Internet in the world is going to be here in Minneapolis starting this afternoon," said Joe Caldwell, co-CEO of US Internet. "We're talking about a game-changing speed."[1]

The service will cost $400 per month, Caldwell said. The company already offers 1-gigabit-per-second service for $65 per month to the same 30,000 households west of Interstate 35W, and plans to expand its network east of 35W, mostly to neighborhoods south of Lake Street.

[...]By moving eastward with its fiber network's high speeds and lower prices, the upstart US Internet hopes to take business away from Comcast.

    If it meant that my dollar was competing with Comcast, I just might. I just might.
