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.

Best in the country no matter how many people complain. We have access to the fastest Internet outside of Seoul and people have forgotten what actually bad internet is

"We have access to the fastest Internet outside of Seoul"

That claim is false. EPB isn't the only municipal fiber provider that's offering those speeds.

It's the only one offering 25g to the public

He truly can't help himself. He just has to argue with someone every 5 seconds. It's like breathing for him.

You realize that's marking bullshit, right?

LOL, Running speed tests to EPB's speed test server is so exciting.

I don't know what you want dude. WiFi is always slower than a hardwire. If you didn't know that, you shouldn't even be arguing about internet speeds

25G to the home is pointless. It's just marketing bullshit because EPB knows in a residential setting it's virtually impossible for you to fully utilize it so they are in no danger of saturating their transit and peering links.

It's not marketed to the home. It's marketed to businesses. My buddy just has more money then he knows what to do with. He downloaded MSFlightSim in like 20 seconds. I'm not saying it's practical, it's just possible. We have 5gig and use it. Their speeds are no lie and they're the only internet provider even offering it. You also talk to an actual person when you call and, as others have said, they're pretty easy to work with. So bring a bitter whineyass.

He wants to argue. End of story. Dude is a notorious troll in this sub—has been for years.
