"This is a connection that would support 8K video streaming and the upcoming hi-resolution virtual reality applications that companies like HTC are showcasing." "You probably don't need to look any further than the (Consumer Electronics Show) that's going on right now to see where we might be headed," Timmerman said. Timmerman said while at the moment it's likely more bandwidth than most customers could ever utilize, there are applications on the horizon that could make this fast connectivity more relevant and useful. He said the initial pricing of the service, coming in around $200-250 per month, is also the lowest in the country for that level of service speed. "There are a couple of other companies offering it in the country, but we're proud to join the group of the fastest fiber providers." ![]() "It's essentially the fastest internet service speed you can get in the U.S.," said UTOPIA Fiber Executive Director Roger Timmerman. Really, it's service so fast that an average user (or family of users) would likely never approach anything close to maxing it out, no matter what they were streaming, gaming or running.Īnd, it's now a service speed option for any resident on UTOPIA's network, which includes around 80,000 households in 11 Utah cities. Or, you could stream around 1,700 movies simultaneously. Well, you could download a 4K movie (roughly four times larger than a 1080p movie or around 35 gigabytes) in less than 30 seconds.
