Chattanooga will have 1 Gbps internet by year's end

Chattanooga, TN will offer 1 Gbps ultra high speed internet connections to it 170,000 customers by year's end!

In the global race to see who can offer the fastest Internet service, an unlikely challenger has emerged: Chattanooga, Tenn.

The city-owned utility, EPB, plans to announce on Monday that by the end of this year it will offer ultra-high-speed Internet service of up to one gigabit a second. That is 200 times faster than the average broadband speed in America.

Only Hong Kong and a few other cities in the world offer such lightning-fast service, and analysts say Chattanooga will be the first in the United States to do so. ?This makes Chattanooga ? a midsized city in the South ? one of the leading cities in the world in its digital capabilities,? said Ron Littlefield, the city?s mayor.
