The price to buy the line was $2500. I pay for the highest package Sumo offers (69.99) and get 100Mbps internet and a phone line. As far as a cap goes I'm not sure.

UTOPIA: Fiber-optic nirvana or a nightmare with no way out?
[B] Technology
bump - anybody still using UTOPIA?
I just read an article in the newspaper (ironic huh) about how Brigham City is trying to figure out a way to get out of the contract. Sounds like it's been a very costly nightmare.
Cities banding together to run something is rarely a good idea. From the article, "envisioned by leaders of 11 Wasatch Front cities as a bold path to Utah's fiber-optic future." Should send shivers down a thinking man's spine.
If there aren't real people with a real business/profit motive in control, it's not gong to work.
I suspect that one of the reasons Google has listed Salt Lake City as one of it's next fiber rollout areas is because it thinks it can pick up Utopia cheaply. Which is the same reason it picked up the Provo City fiber.
Yep, Google has already started in SLC I believe.
