We all use the internet every day but do we really understand how it works? And do we know what's on the horizon? Snazzy Labs takes an exclusive tour of one of the most beloved internet companies in America, UTOPIA Fiber, a non-profit government-owned fiber network that leases its infrastructure out to ISPs. UTOPIA coverage areas have very inexpensive home and business gigabit internet, 10 gigabit internet, and even 100 gigabit internet thanks to the power of fiber technology. We tour a fiber hut, see a home installation, and take a look at the company's network operations room. Don't miss this unique video.
Editor’s note: This video was filmed months ago prior to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and Utah. Be snazzy and wear a mask!
Your speedtest is kind of misleading. Your server was also in those data centres the CEO talked about. So, the tested speed was 'inside' the internet exchange, not the real internet speed.
Is Utopia going to expand outside of Utah ????
13:00 solar winds hack?
Data connection now has fiber with 5 glass in and 5 glass out:date connection:1000 people on 8k 360 hz Dolby vision hdr with 10+ bits of color(no lag btw) :me:asks God when will that happen:god: a year in the 3000s,that is if you survive which I won't tell you about
WoW..I Want It,I Need It..I am Stuck at 200mbps down & 5-10Mbps up & I Pay about 75-100$us a month...but it still beats the hal* out of my old isp...1.5-3mbps down & 0.5mbps up & 100$ month ish !
Lol he had a table, splicing is never that clean especially in most climates
Literally switched careers for this massive industry.
55$ for 1Gbit is pretty good, Here you get around 2Gbit for that price though. 1Ggbit is around 25-30$ ( Bulgaria )
*sad max 8mbit download noises*
what i would do for fiber...
i had a heart attack when i saw the speed of 7000mbps
How does one go about changing the law in the us to oust the current telecom monopolies? State and federal government don't really seem to care at all.
You dont need that fiber enclosing, you just can use a prism
Great video and quality. Wish these guys were operating in the UK and more importantly in my area
In the Philippines, we pay 50$ a month for 10mbps..😅
14:30 why you laying like a bitch?😂😂
no wey ya voy a llorar, yo con mis 10mb y 500kbs de u0pload no gracias bai lloro
Me watching this video on my school wifi 2.5 mbps
Here in germany i would be happy about 10mb Internet
Me watching this video at 360p and still buffering. My internet competes with tortoise
looks like the "4TB internet" he explained is a Cisco DWDM equipment. that is only 40 lambda capability with 1G per lambda.. but actually DWDM equipments now can go up to 800G per lambda and not just 40 lambda systems but also 80 lambda systems. in theory we can put 80*800G on a single dark fiber core. OTN technology is awesome
EPON, great for gamers and low latency applications
As a former nation-wide backbone network engineer, I didnt talk about Gbps, my default metrics is Terabit per second. This brings so much memory back then.
Imagine uploading to a server and the reason it's not uploading fast enough is because the drive in the server can't write that fast.
Very cool info love it
Bring this to Texarkana, TX and they'll have a new loyal customer.
this is soooo cool
my job every day...
In Romania this speed 1000MBps/sec it's normal . Cost with this abonament it's only 9.85 euro/month. So, what it's now ? :D :D
Odd, I get 100+ MBytes/s from Google Drive daily. On my 1Gbit/1Gbit.
UTOPIA Fiber veri cool
I only get 3mb/s must be nice
Come and save me from shit Internet in the UK 😂
As a German, the only places with actual reliable fiber 1g/10g connections are where the big datacenters are. I've rented a server with a good connection to the DE-CIX and even most Speedtest servers only go up to ~500mbps, though the connection is capable of multiple gigabits. Most customers can only dream of getting 100Mbps from their outdated copper connections. There is no such thing as a competition except for DSL vs Coax cable, both quite flawed technologies So before anyone thinks Germany is a technologically highly developed country, this definitely does not apply to regular customer connections
Once the fiber is run, we can always increase the throughput with different electronics; we can re-purpose the old electronics to rural and less expensive clients.
We need them here in PA. I'm sick of the Comcast monopoly
australia: write that down ! write that down !
Australia has better internet than a lot of countries
Meanwhile, the biggest ISP in my country can only provide 300Mbps for $125/month for household subscribers. Yes. That's only Megabits per second. lmao.
Albeit running a seriously heavy duty bit of kit 🍏 Nice tube man ✌🏽🇦🇺
There for 1 Gbit/s for 55 $ a month, here in Switzerland for 10 Gbit / s between 39 $ up to 77 $ a month (different providers, different costs) :-).
This dude has 10g internet and I've paid 80$ monthly for 2mbps :)
great content but damn you're hard to watch man.
Us: 4tb internet You guys: cries in 1kbps Me: evil laughing
Angry African grunting intensifies.
This is a great video. Now, how do I get my provider to do this?
Who's your ISP?
My wifi router gives more ping than ur inter country internet 😂
Kerala is also getting full state fibre network
Amazing
That SPEED IS SICK!
Yeah everyone just need a simple gig connection. Writing this on a 150 Mbps
Hey Quinn, I work on a small WISP and eventually fiber infrastructure company out of Texas. We are trying to upgrade Texas infrastructure out in areas that the big companies wont service. While we have a lot of competition out here, most of the them are using older tech with no real plans on upgrading their equipment or even customer equipment. That is where we are going to be different, we as a WISP use Ubiquiti equipment and currently use 5AC Gen2 equipment along with Mikrotik network equipment. While we are small and expanding we still want to be able to upgrade not only our propagation equipment on our towers with the new LBU Ubiquiti equipment, but also the customer side equipment along with speed increases with hopefully no higher charge to the customer. Unlike some of our other competitors one of which is shown in your video, Rise Broadband, don't seem to quite give their customer what they are paying for and sometimes not even a fraction of it, from what we have been told from our customers that used to use these other companies. Most of them use old equipment on highly saturated sites and have too many people on a connection that really cant sustain the clients. This video is very interesting and is something we want to invest in and build infrastructure such the residential service you had in the video, although we are for-profit, but not trying to scrape money for all of our customers. We want to provide and sell to a customer exactly what they are paying for and this video is a nice window into the future of what we might become. Thanks for making the video!
Me:400kb 🙂
Me: 1gbps 😎

What network activity widget is that?
did he say "just 200$ a month" i mean i understand it's 10 gigabit but it's still a lot of money for regular people
Missed opportunity: Uthopia
cant they make a bitorrent youtube version
Torrent heaven
you should change location next to youtube servers and ask them for a direct fiber to their server lol
how much 4 4TB
I wish this exist in Canada...
Wholesale FTTP companies are the way forward and it's starting to happen at scale in the UK now too.
55$ a month.... wow...!
Everyone is talking about how slow their internets are, just buy an 1gb one. It's only 300$ a month!
i watch the video with 480p haha in algeria 8mpbs with speed download 900kbps and 100kbps upload shit country

im fcking happy w my new 18/8 internet speed :D
download gta 5 0,0005 seconds later " *DONE* "
this is the coolest thing I ever watch. would love to get into this field but wow.... so awesome!
I haven't seen any other videos even close resembling this one. Modern, High quality and super cool. This should be the standard throughout the country. Great work!
Australia will NEVER see speeds even remotely close to this, unless some billionare comes along with some absolute need to help the masses.
Indonesia left the group wkwkw
can they come my house where I have 1.5mbps lolol
I was fine until the 7000 MB Speedtest , now I’m drooling
