Looks like Wirestar is bringing fiber optic internet service to parts of South College Station. Anyone have their fiber optic service already - or have any plans to change over? TIA

I've had their copper service for a few years and it's been great. FWIW my buddy lives in a set of townhomes that has their fiber and he's been pretty happy with the no data caps.

I've been very happy with my unlimited fiber with Suddenlink. Would not consider a change unless the price is dramatically better. Suddenlink is costly it is ~$130 a month for my current service.

That's not fiber. Though I can agree that we have not had a single issue with Suddenlink in probably 3-4 years.

Their gigabit service is not fiber? I thought only fiber could handle the 1,000 Mbit/sec?

I'm curious too.

Whenever I've looked at their site, it says they don't cover our area. Is that changing?

Suddenlink gig service is just docsis 3.1 cable modem service.

Edit: The service is still good. Just not fiber good.

Wirestar told me this was going to be available in 2 months about 14 months ago. Don't hold your breath.

Because Suddenlink's Gigabit package is actually 1 Gig down and 50Mbit up.
