Reasons we love living in Chattanooga: Beautiful mountain views, easy river access, and super-fast internet. Like, top ten cities in the *world* fast internet. 🌎

This means Noogans can:

💻 Work remotely without worrying about our Google Hangout meetings freezing.
🧠 Keep our growing number of smart devices running smoothly. “Alexa, can you… slow down?”
📺 Binge Hallmark Christmas movies while our partners download video games in the other room.

In October of 2015, Chattanooga launched the world’s first community-wide 10 gigabit Internet service, available to all homes + businesses within EPB’s (600 square mile) service area. Their Starter Fi-Speed Internet Plan offers speeds of 300 mbps (megabits per second) – and for $10 more per month, customers can get speeds of 1,000 mbps with The Gig.

That’s fast. Really fast. To put it in perspective:

129.65 mbps: average internet speed in the U.S.
194.09 mbps: average internet speed in Singapore (ranked the fastest global average)
300 mbps: internet speed EPB offers to Chattanooga with their Starter Fi-Speed Internet Plan
○ 1,000 mbps: internet speed offered by EPB’s The Gig
10,000 mbps: internet speed offered by EPB’s 10 Gig
