Welcome to UTOPIA

[asdf]

Do anyone here use UTOPIA?
It should be in my area around christmas and 10mbps up/down sure beats comcast or any DSL.

LUCKY!!!! :frustrated:

I don't live in the area, I actually considered moving to Layton at one point to get on the Utopia wagon. My friend's uncle works as an engineer for the project and what he has told me about it, still has me drooling :slobber: :user: Please let us know how it is, once you get it.

I'v had phone and internet since February through Mstar. It is great compared to my old dial-up :sleeping: One of these days I'll get smart and switch from cable tv too.

I use Iveractiy here in Provo, and I have been nothing but disappointed. We are also promised 10 up and 10 down but we are usually around 4 up/ and 2 down. I still pay less than I would with Comcast but I have been disappointed by the unkept promise of my bandwidth.

[Alex]

Hmmm, is the bandwidth the only grudge? How are the response times, limits, etc?

4/2 is so much of an imporvment on the upload end i would still be willing to switch.
Comcast lags me out of games on XBL, plus with the crap upload speeds I never get host in games.

[fourtycal]

I does slow down at times but here is where it is at right now. :mrgreen:

[Reedus]

Anybody have Digis? The only beef I have with it is at certain times in the day (around 10 am) it is sluggish as hell. $25 beats the fo-shizzle out of the rape Comcast advertises.

Utopia is available in my area (Murray) through Xmission. They are advertising 15Mbs up and down for $40 a month. Right now I pay $32.99 for 1.5Mbs/892Kbs. I am thinking hard about doing it.

This thread is a little old, does anyone out there use Xmission or Utopia?

Also, how do I find out how fast my computer is really connecting?



Thanks

And here I thought you were talking about:

Samuel Adams Utopias

Samuel Adams Black Lager has been described as... sweet fire, with rich malt and wood complexity.

About the Beer

Truly the epitome of brewing's two thousand year evolution, Samuel Adams Utopias offers a flavor not just unlike any other beer but unlike any other beverage in the world. Its warm, sweet flavor is richly highlighted with hints of vanilla, oak and caramel. The 2003 batch topped out at a record breaking 25.6% ABV, beating the records that Samuel Adams Triple Bock and Samuel Adams Millennium had set before it. And like those groundbreaking brews, Samuel Adams Utopias is not carbonated and should be served at room temperature. In one of many examples where Samuel Adams Utopias pushed the boundaries of beer, it received the highest recommendation (96-100 points) from the prestigious Wine Enthusiast Magazine (November, 2003 edition).

Due to legal restrictions, Samuel Adams Utopias can not be sold in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, and West Virginia.

History of the Beer

The latest in our strong brews, Samuel Adams Utopias has been brewed in two small limited batches to date. The first batch which was released in 2001 as Samuel Adams Utopias MMII topped out at 24% ABV, while the second batch which was released in 2003 as Samuel Adams Utopias pushed the alcohol to 25.6% ABV. Both batches were released only once and in limited quantities.

"Guinness World Records is pleased to confirm that the current record for The Strongest Commercially Available Beer belongs to Samuel Adams for their Utopias MM II brew," says Keely Hopkins, Guinness World Records Researcher. "At the current time we have not received information nor are we aware of any other organization claiming to have broken this record."

About the Brewing

Samuel Adams Utopias was brewed at a very high gravity using a wide variety of malted barley and a touch of maple syrup. It was then fermented and conditioned in a blend of scotch, bourbon, port and cognac casks for up to ten months using a pair of proprietary yeast strains we developed at our Boston Brewery.

I have internet and TV. iProvo is similar to UTOPIA, and you have to sign up with a service provider, like MStar or NuVont.

[James_B_Wads2000]

I just canceled my tv service through MStar (but still have internet). The DVR sucked compared to my TiVo through DirecTV. Do you like the tv service? Did you have cable or satilite before? Do you get a discount for service since you work for them?

Sorry lots of questions.

I also do not like the DVR, but fear not, new ones are in the works. Not sure if Utopia will implement them or not, but I believe we will.

I use a MediaCenter PC instead of the supplied DVR. Works like a charm. I like it better than TiVo as well, as there is no monthly charge. For me, it replaces everything about the TV service, and I wouldn't know if I had satellite, cable, or IPTV. All of it functions the same through my MediaCenter.

I used to have Comcast, and hated it, for typical reasons.
