Netflix (I know some of you are here), Would you consider including sonic.net. I realize they are local/regional to the greater Bay area, but as one of the first ISP's to offer (trial) gigabit speed, and at a reasonable price, I think they deserve a nod. In fact, as I wrote the above, I expanded on this thought. I'd like to see the Chattanooga high speed service mentioned, and perhaps some others. This could be a good message that higher performance Internet -- other than just Google; not that I'm knocking Google on this -- is possible and is offered by some more progressive providers. And that it's this real competition that will drag the rest of us forward into a better network (and so, Netflix) experience. Thanks for your consideration

Seconded. Moreover, in Chattanooga, the cheapest/slowest option EPB provides is 50Mb, which is quite a bit more than the average connection speed listed for Google Fiber. I'm on that plan and the rate is usually closer to the 60Mb range; fast enough to necessitate plugging in an ethernet cable if I want to max out my connection.

  The cheapest/slowest option from Google Fiber is also much faster than the average connection speed listed for Google Fiber. The listed speeds are impacted by all sorts of factors (not the least of which is that most of Netflix's content likely caps out at somewhere less than 3 Mbps, so it will be tough for any ISP to have an average speed much higher than that).
