We all use the internet every day but do we really understand how it works? And do we know what's on the horizon? Snazzy Labs takes an exclusive tour of one of the most beloved internet companies in America, UTOPIA Fiber, a non-profit government-owned fiber network that leases its infrastructure out to ISPs. UTOPIA coverage areas have very inexpensive home and business gigabit internet, 10 gigabit internet, and even 100 gigabit internet thanks to the power of fiber technology. We tour a fiber hut, see a home installation, and take a look at the company's network operations room. Don't miss this unique video.

Why does the title keep changing?

[@ubiquepanda1491]

"Internet should exist as utility"- I couldn't agree more!

[@feifeigxx]

I kind of disagree with that. The ISPs have different charge model from utility companies. ISPs charge for time you spend on internet, 24*30 per month, utility company charge for how much you use, per kWh or per cubic feet/ gallon. By provide more electricity or water or even phone call, utility company earn more money, providing faster internet won't let ISPs earn more money, so they are not interested in upgrading the network. I think government provide the pipe, call for bid on network building, let huge internet companies like amazon, facebook, google build the network or upgrade the network, ISPs lease and maintain the network. That could be a better option than just label ISPs as utility companies. Big internet company is interested in provide everyone better internet at a cheaper cost, which could lead to their income increase, so they would build the network even at loss, they could earn morn money from people stay on internet. From competition government spend less money on building network, without building the network, ISPs only maintain the network, which could make ISPs become a cheaper business so much more company can compete in the field, customers get better and cheaper internet from competition.

[@HeelerHouse]

@@feifeigxx no, it should be treated like one, as in where everything is treated equally, whether it's KZbin, Netflix, Disney+, or a competitors website

[@feifeigxx]

TheProG4merPlayz That's the argument of net neutrality, and I'm strongly agree with net neutrality. I didn't mention anything about that in my comment though. Treating internet as utilities is seriously slowing down the internet speed increase. No one except internet companies and customers are interested in internet speed increasing. Unlike water or energy or phone companies, who do have better income when customers have higher demand. I'm proposing the benefiting party(internet companies) of the network speed increasing as network builder, but have different owners and operators of the network. My idea could led to a regular network upgrade. Internet company would love to upgrade the internet so you stay on the internet. They would even give free internet access to poor people so they have more user and future customers. Therefore use their desire of growth as advantages to increase your internet speed. The net neutrality problem is actually not solvable. Remember that T-mobile and spotify offered free spotify premium? It was against the rule of net neutrality but beneficial to customers and completion since T-mo is the smaller carrier in the US. ATT offer their customers free HBO and it's not against the net neutrality ruling, because they own HBO. Is that really net neutrality and so good for the competition? I'm going to say by not knowing who operates the network, internet companies would build the network more neutral, cause they don't want someone use it against them easier later, since better and easier access basically equals to easier to attack. By government owning the pipes, they could invite local and other internet companies all over the country to monitor the build process, I believe if someone build the network so people accessing Disney+ better than KZbin and Netflix, they would complain loudly and clear. You could also make rules so that same company cannot build the same network twice in a row. Since this building method could have regular network upgrade, by always having different company build a network, even someone truly build it to their advantage, by having someone else upgrade it quickly, that advantage won't last.

[@HeelerHouse]

@@feifeigxx Agreed.

[@CrystalStearOfTheCas]

In Europe internet is a utility and heavily regulated. In France I pay 30$ a month for 500mb/s (around 430 on speedtest.net). I can cancel whenever I want. Because of the anti monopolies regulations, competition is thriving and prices are low. ISPs are required to let competitors rent their infrastructures so that there is no zone with only one ISP available. These prices and speeds used to be just dreams in the US, it was the same here before we regulated it. What's changed most though is the way the customer is treated. You don't feel like you're giving your blood to Satan every time you deal with your ISP. There no predatory practices, small print on contracts, ambiguous language, subscriptions where the costs increase without warning,.... It's now been the same with mobile networks for a few years. I pay 20$ for 100GB 4G with unlimited call & messages, roaming in most of the world, and unlimited calls to landlines in 50+ countries. You guys seriously need to deals with those vampires at the FCC and get someone there with common sense so what is seen in this video becomes the basic norm.

@Bizz Providers/ISPs are obviously going to slowly upgrade people's broadband speed. By slowly upgrading people's internet speed, this will give people a bit of a wow feeling that their broadband speed has significantly improved. The storage devices in our computers will have to at least match what broadband speed we get anyway. 4Tbit broadband speed would be pointless anyway, because we currently have no storage devices quick enough to write at that speed.

It's great to finally see an ISP/Company show is that in person. I really hope that I can have a service like Utopia sometime soon. I previously had Century Link gigabit, which was pretty fantastic, though it would often dip as low as 500 Mbps on both download and upload. I also only had CAT 6 to my apartment, so latency was usually around 30-40 ms. Obviously I still was grateful for the internet I had and it was by no stretch a problem, but still was a concern when I was paying for "up to 1 Gbps" internet.

Sadly without competition you do not get "insane speeds". My ISP in 2024 charges 110$ for 750Mbit and 70$ for 300Mbit FTTH. For me it is not worth to pay the extra fee for just over twice the speed. And they are still not offering Gigabit, because no one are competing in the rural areas. I just hope there will be future access to the fiber for other telcos, so we can get faster speeds at a reasonable price, because large bandwidth should not cost much extra.

Nice tour :) I think the greatest advantage with fiber is the reliability. I have experienced a few minutes downtime twice over a 10 year period. Before that, with copper, it was weekly or monthly. Our network is owned by the utility companies, and they are not really forced to rent it out. So there are not many options. But for the price of $39 including our 25% VAT, for 1/1Gbps, I really can't complain :) It's pretty much GPON across the country - which was plenty when they laid it out 10+ years ago. Only in the last few years, some installations has been made as p2p, as far as i know.

When I was halfway through high school in 2008, I moved from Alabama to North Carolina. The town we moved to was just starting to build out their local fiber network. The town runs a local ISP that offered a gigabit connection because Spectrum was having so many issues. The problem is that, well... Politics and lobbying prevented the rest of the state’s local municipalities from being able to do the same thing. All major for-profit ISPs in the state lobbied against the idea of what the town did. I believe it was in 2010 when the state made it illegal for local governments from building their own ISP, but the state couldn’t kill off the town’s local ISP in that process. That town is still running the ISP and it’s still going great, but it can’t expand outside of the county. I have a very personal hatred for the majority Republican state congress and the for-profit ISPs that lobbied for it. They effectively killed genuinely good competition from being started by local municipalities, some of which are still suffering from absolutely horrendous DSL connections in rural areas. Some farms in those rural areas struggle to maintain operations to places outside of their area because the DSL connections they are forced to use are so unstable.

[@chancelindsey]

UTOPIA was not all rainbows and butterflies as portrayed in the video. But as the video correctly pointed out, UTOPIA is not an ISP. You a comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps if the same model was followed in NC it could have been successful. At the end of the day every elected official wants money for the budget. With an inherent revenue stream from private business, such as Franchise Tax for the right to run utility lines, it is as equally hard to push a Republican or Democrat to break the conventional mold. It is disappointing that you have hatred for individuals that have chosen public service. All politicians are prone to corruption; however, most are trying to do what they believe is right. As we fall prey to this next era in history we are currently living, it is fun and hip to create an outlet for blind hatred to blame all your dislikes and failures on a political party--as innocent as Hitler started blaming the Jewish. Where does this hatred go from here? Division. That is the real systemic issue.

Hey Quinn, I work on a small WISP and eventually fiber infrastructure company out of Texas. We are trying to upgrade Texas infrastructure out in areas that the big companies wont service. While we have a lot of competition out here, most of the them are using older tech with no real plans on upgrading their equipment or even customer equipment. That is where we are going to be different, we as a WISP use Ubiquiti equipment and currently use 5AC Gen2 equipment along with Mikrotik network equipment. While we are small and expanding we still want to be able to upgrade not only our propagation equipment on our towers with the new LBU Ubiquiti equipment, but also the customer side equipment along with speed increases with hopefully no higher charge to the customer. Unlike some of our other competitors one of which is shown in your video, Rise Broadband, don't seem to quite give their customer what they are paying for and sometimes not even a fraction of it, from what we have been told from our customers that used to use these other companies. Most of them use old equipment on highly saturated sites and have too many people on a connection that really cant sustain the clients. This video is very interesting and is something we want to invest in and build infrastructure such the residential service you had in the video, although we are for-profit, but not trying to scrape money for all of our customers. We want to provide and sell to a customer exactly what they are paying for and this video is a nice window into the future of what we might become. Thanks for making the video!

No complaints here about my grandfathered-in 1GB up/down speeds for $38 a month thanks to UTOPIA. Should probably go ahead and upgrade my router to one that can actually deliver that, but I'm plenty content with the speedtests in the 500-700MBs.

In 2070: Only 4 Terrabit? How cute they had sooo high ping

[@goftm4058]

Tb and ping don't corelate with each other

[@aoelp]

So you are saying in 2070 they can defy the laws of physics? Don't get me wrong: the ping can be improved, but even at 90% of the speed of light and almost no switching times (this is close to optimal) connecting to a server on the other side of the world will take at least about 70 milliseconds (more with Starlink), unless we literally drill tunnels straight to the location and even then about 45 milliseconds would be a fast as it gets. Connecting the east of Maine with San Diego also would still take about 17 milliseconds and that isn't "real-time" for some applications like competitive gaming. Just curious: Is that an Anno 2070 reference or was it just a random pick?

My first experience of remote computer access was 1982 at University of Kansas. My dorm's single terminal (80 x 25 chars green on black) used acoustic modem. Speed = 1200/75 baud -roughly 1200/75 bps. Keyboard typing limit therefore approx. 8-9 chars/sec. Reading/download speed 120-150 chars/sec. When I later learned of 9600 bps modems I was blown away.

Verizon Fios has decently priced gigabit where I live. It’s amazing so many places still have terrible internet. Especially upload. Shows how important competition is.

[@bnasty267]

And looking at UTOPIA's pricing, the cheapest you get 1Gbps is $50/m for the ISP + $30/m for leasing the fiber from UTOPIA. That's about what Verizon charges, and they paid for all the infrastructure. I would probably prefer where the ISP sat on top of fiber that was independent (like dialup was), but I have very few complaints with Verizon FIOS. Fast, very reliable, relatively cheap.

Nothing about FTTP is 'maxed' at 100/20. 1000/50 is very much a thing now, but it seems that we are still a long way off of 1000/1000 being made available for residential usage. My connection is a rock solid 100/40, but for only ~$50 more a month, the 1000/50 available from Superloop is looking attractive. Depending on your usage patterns the 200/200 250/100 plans may work better for you... None of which are anything close to approaching 1000 symmetrical - that the infrastructure is very much capable of supporting.

[@Astrell]

@@CalinDee But because there is zero competition, other than StarLink, that won't happen for a very long time. Government monopolies are cancer. Almost no houses have FTTP. The whole point of the NBN is to be FTTN, which currently tops out at 100/20.

@@Astrell "The whole point of the NBN is to be FTTN" No - not really - 2009 RFP - FTTP to be provided to 93% of Australian homes - the remaining 7% were prohibitively expensive. Enter 2010. The Abbott and Turnbull show reject the FTTP proposal because "there is insignificant demand for it". They then shift the rollout to FTTN , to save money. This clearly ends up costing more and will do for years to come. That aside, yes, its sadly true that far too few areas are provided with FTTP... I wont be moving away from where I am any time soon.

Figuring out how to utilize that kind of speed would be a nice problem to have. The thing is this kind of connection is wholly unnecessary right now, even the 1G is fairly extreme! but in 10 years possibly. The thing is the architecture is scale-able, single mode fiber has theoretically infinite bandwidth, the main things holding it back are the cost and capabilities of the equipment at either end, so once they actually bother to lay the cable and set up the fiber huts and put down the trunk conduit it will be utilized for a long long time, and speeds will climb as the electronics advance, and the 10G transceivers and switches turn into 100G and 1T.... that's before the multi spectrum stuff is layered on!
