Tired of being underserved and overbilled by shitty regional broadband monopolies, back in 2002 a coalition of local Utah governments formed UTOPIA — (the Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency). The inter-local agency collaborative venture then set about building an “open access” fiber network that allows any ISP to then come and compete on the shared network.

    I wish for a cheap 10Gbps fiber internet connection.

    Come to Utah, we’ve got super cheap 10Gbps fiber, all the 3.2abv* beer you can handle, and Mormons every-fucking-where!

    *Apparently as of 2019 the law has been changed to 5%abv.
