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.

    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.
