Hello fellow Neowinners ... ( we're all NEOWINNING! )

 

I was wondering if anyone else here might be located in Knoxville, TN?

 

I was wondering if anyone else has KUB Fiber in their area, and if anyone has switched to it?

How is it?

What do you think of it overall?

 

Thank you for your time, and any responses.

You would probably have more success in any Knoxville subreddit or Facebook group.

"its fiber, so it will be good"

ha, ok so the connection to the ISP may be good, but what if they only have peering point? or just two? fiber is only as good as its peering and routing... that's why some actually prefer comcast's HFC network to fiber because they have way way way more peering points then the normal ISP...

Why not just try it yourself? Is there a contact? Even than you will usually have like 30 days to try it and if it sucks you will qualify for new customer pricing with your original ISP.

People in the knoxville reddit forum that talk about the kub fiber say it is good.  I can't comment about their upstream provider.  

I live in concord/farragut area, so I won't be able to get them.  I've used charter/spectrum for years and its great.

I wish ISP's would have to disclose all their peering... would make choosing an ISP easier

Fiber is getting turned on elsewhere.  I saw on wbir this morning that LCUB fiber is going live as well.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
