I've been trying to wrap my mind on how fast the 1 Gb service will be and had to use a calculator to figure it out.

Based on a speedtest I just ran.
Downloads at 1 Gb will be 162 times faster than 6.15 Mb (fastest service currently offered)
Uploads at 1 Gb would be 1500 times faster than 680 Kb (fastest service currently offered)

Oh wow is this true??? I keep looking a the calendar, but it's not April 1st ... Wow!

This seems way too good to be true ... how is it even possible?

I truly hope this is true. With the "high quality" of service we are receiving from Verizon, this would be a welcome upgrade.

Now, what about pricing?

It looks like Residential should be $70 month - Bundled with Voice $95

Activation and installation (all types): Waived
Modem charge: No monthly residential equipment fee
Voice service includes unlimited calling in United States and Canada

Wow, wish they could extend it to me in Pinon Hills!

It's really true. We are in the permitting process for using the telephone poles to carry the fiber into your house, so we don't have a time frame at the moment....but we are committed and the plans are under way.

Will the service be provided to the west side of town? Specifically in LA County.

Wrightwood · « **Reply #8 on:** May 14, 15, 06:20:07 PM »

Yes. The Wrightwood Project will extend gigabit high-speed internet service to approximately 1,857 households (or 2,710 housing units) spread over 3.2 square miles in and adjoining the underserved community of Wrightwood, which straddles the border between San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties on the north side of the San Gabriel Mountains.

What company do you contract your installs out to?

Ultimate Internet Access · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 15, 08:13:11 PM »

We plan our doing our own installs in-house.

Ultimate Internet Access · « **Reply #11 on:** May 14, 15, 08:14:51 PM »

We do our own installs so we can control the quality. We provide excellent service and that extends to our installations. So, yes, we intend to do our own installs.

My service is currently with Verizon and I do not want to change my email address because of my business. How can I keep it and sign up with you?

Congratulations to Wes Zuber!

Fyi, Wes has been right there with us over the years trying to get Verizon to offer proper high speed internet and service. Wes attended & offered direction in our meetings with Congressmen (2). Verizon never did their end so opportunity opens it's door while others snooze. We need to support Wes and his company. Wes once mentioned potential speeds but it sounded too good to be true, but turned out not too good to be true.

Hopefully Wes can offer this to other communities that are far worse than we ever experienced. Communities that Verizon totally ignored. The Congressman's office saw this failure and also understood that competition is good, and not just for the mega-companies like Verizon.

Can't wait till this starts a fantastic trend of things to come.

Thanks Wes for your tenacity!!

Well Chuck, Ultimate Internet may be pulling the fiber through the town, but your tenacity can never be underestimated. Your ability to see and support the solution and guide us in the right direction is what got us here today. Thank you so much for all your help.

I am SO excited about this!!! I run my business from home and the slow internet (especially today) limits me.

Thank you so much, I got on the email list!

I can't wait!!!
