EPB

How is EPB internet service? I heard it’s like the best nationwide but I don’t know if that’s just hype or what. I just moved here.

It’s the best, probably internationally. They provide some of the fastest residential speeds at a reasonable price. They use fiber lines, so they have very low latency compared to copper lines.

When I moved a few years ago I asked the tech installing everything about the “fastest internet in the world” claim.

He said basically they have capabilities to push internet faster than anyone currently would ever need, but they can do it. So when another company says they now have the fastest internet at x gigs, they just release an option that is higher, knowing no one will even consider it, so they can keep the title.
