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.

    Indeed. $100/month for consumer broadband is hardly a "deal". It is crazily expensive. $20-$60 is the right price point. Google Fiber's not much cheaper. Verizon sucks and their basic tiers aren't even competitive with lowly cable.

    Crazy expensive compared to outside the CSA, maybe. Compared to the $80 I'm paying for (10M/758k + !Comcast), it's a fuckin' steal.

      Exactly. I'm paying that much for a 5Mb satellite connection. (And yes, it's my only option in my rural area)

        Can you also upload to the sat at 5Mbs or you upload through a land line and that 5Mbs is only for download? What is upload bandwidth anyway?

        Thanks,

          It's a 2-way satellite connection, up and down, with a 1Mb upload bandwidth.
