The beautiful city of Provo in Utah is the proud ‘owner’ of the Largest Private Municipal Fiber-Optic Network in the U.S. Well actually the city itself isn’t the owner; with the sale of the iProvo fiber Network to Broadweave, businesses in Provo can get broadband over fiber for excellent prices. Speeds are incremental starting with 1.5Mbps, 3Mbps (which are the equivalants of a T1 and bonded T1) all the way upto 100Mbps. A 10Mbps ethernet circuit in Provo can cost as little as $730 per month.
The iProvo network was originally paid by with $58 million of tax payers money and was to deliver the promise of cheap broadband and phone service for everyone in the city of Provo. However it never took off, was too expensive for the city to maintain and they did not have the expertise to properly run it.
Now with the iProvo network being sold, all the fiber in Provo, UT is available for commercial fiber broadband, pots, PRI, you name it. If you are a business in the city of Provo and would like to find out how much you can save, please send an email to [email protected] with your name, telephone number, business address and a brief description of what you are looking for and we will have an expert consultant contact you.
