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.

    • Laptop Processor Question

      By Mindovermaster · Posted

      The thing you look at when buying a computer or laptop is not the CPU/RAM/SSD. You are looking at what features are on the system. USB 2/3/4/c, GPU, (not for the gaming aspect, but if you want nice movies, this helps) and other helpful add-ons. Keyboard media keys, for example. Also long battery life is a plus, too. Might want to also mention what brands you are looking at. Dell, Lenovo, Frameworks, etc. Edit: Unless you are looking for a laptop for portability, get a desktop.

      Brexit was first proposed in 2013, I had no idea Trump had anything to do with it.

      'The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval' Of course it does! Can they not keep their grubby little hands out of anything?
