Lafayette, LA may have the best ISP in the nation.....

LUS Fiber just started offering Gig-per-second Internet service priced at $69.95 per month. It used to be $1,000 a month. All their speeds are up and down. LUS fiber was voted on several years ago by the parish voters and it has been great!

I just switched to 80 Mbps up and down for $54.95 a month. I might pay the additional $15 bucks some day, but I don't know what I would need that kind of speed for right now.

Here is part of their press release:

The new offer, announced at a Tuesday press conference, is for a Gig-per-second Internet service priced at $69.95 per month for residential customers. Also unveiled during the press conference was an offer for residential customers to double their existing Internet speed for only $5 more per month.

I'm not sure if Google fiber is even offering these speeds at this price. I am really glad I live in Lafayette. I have had 30 Mbps up and down for several years and it has been great! It has never once gone down and I assume there is some sort of modem somewhere but the cord just comes straight out the wall right into my router.

If you live in Lafayette and don't know about LUS Fiber, here is a link for you:

What is cable offering these days? It's been about 3 years or so since I've had it.
