Stop the Cap! reports that TDS Telecom has started their roll-out of gigabit broadband in New Hampshire. The first town to receive the service is Hollis, with Andover, Boscawen, New London, Salisbury, Springfield, Sutton, and Wilmot on the list. Even though Hollis has a population of just 7,600, this is still more coverage than AT&T's "fiber to the press release" roll out in Austin, TX.

The report states 1,000/400Mbps would be available for only $99.95/month with a $20/month discount if you bundle TV service.

    So how long before they merge with supercorp or is sued for something like breaking a monopoly? There's sure some bribes waiting for the municipality if they stop this.

    i'm just an anecdote, but i had tds metrocom for years. they provided pretty good service, (business) support is, or at least was, straight from their noc. they also mirror a lot of open source projects http://mirrors.tds.net./ [mirrors.tds.net]
