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.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.

      From the incredibly asinine idea of disposable AI datacenter satellites launching into low Earth orbit to building out yet another unnecessary mobile network, this con-man will do ANYTHING to scam investor suckers and get his stock prices up. This stinks of panic to me. Good.
