The local utility in Bristol Virginia Utilities (BVU) have built out the fiber network to many of the surrounding counties. They utilize FTTH to provide Cable/Internet/Telephone packages that are significantly cheaper than Comcast and much faster. I live very near the Tri-Cities (NE TN/SW VA).

While some will question whether a municipal owned entity should be involved in fiber, it’s a pretty good bet that there is no way that Comcast would have ever deployed fiber in our community (600 Square miles is Epb’s service area). I personally have the triple play option and I am saving over 40 a month from what my past bills were with Comcast and at&t. In addition to the savings, I have 15 mgbs symmetrical service which is 10 times faster than what Comcast provided. We are blessed in Chattanooga to have visionary leadership at the EPB.
