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. - Věda a technologie

Fantastically insightful. But I have to admit it makes me so jealous to be stuck with my lone cable provider charging me $79 @100d6u. Internet is a utility. Say it until they believe it!
@@disastrophi WOWs charging us $63 for 30 mbit down and 5 up internet and were trapped with them until atnt fiber makes its way to our part of the neighborhood so 10 gbit speeds to me look absolutely astronomical.
That's a lie. At 2:39 you read TheVerge's article about the rescheduled PS5's event that was published on June 8th, we were well into the pandemic.
@@CarterPersall must depend on where you live as i pay $39 for 100mb if raise it i threaten to leave and works every time.
Why does the title keep changing?
"Internet should exist as utility"- I couldn't agree more!
I kind of disagree with that. The ISPs have different charge model from utility companies. ISPs charge for time you spend on internet, 24*30 per month, utility company charge for how much you use, per kWh or per cubic feet/ gallon. By provide more electricity or water or even phone call, utility company earn more money, providing faster internet won't let ISPs earn more money, so they are not interested in upgrading the network. I think government provide the pipe, call for bid on network building, let huge internet companies like amazon, facebook, google build the network or upgrade the network, ISPs lease and maintain the network. That could be a better option than just label ISPs as utility companies. Big internet company is interested in provide everyone better internet at a cheaper cost, which could lead to their income increase, so they would build the network even at loss, they could earn morn money from people stay on internet. From competition government spend less money on building network, without building the network, ISPs only maintain the network, which could make ISPs become a cheaper business so much more company can compete in the field, customers get better and cheaper internet from competition.
@@feifeigxx no, it should be treated like one, as in where everything is treated equally, whether it's CZcams, Netflix, Disney+, or a competitors website
TheProG4merPlayz That's the argument of net neutrality, and I'm strongly agree with net neutrality. I didn't mention anything about that in my comment though. Treating internet as utilities is seriously slowing down the internet speed increase. No one except internet companies and customers are interested in internet speed increasing. Unlike water or energy or phone companies, who do have better income when customers have higher demand. I'm proposing the benefiting party(internet companies) of the network speed increasing as network builder, but have different owners and operators of the network. My idea could led to a regular network upgrade. Internet company would love to upgrade the internet so you stay on the internet. They would even give free internet access to poor people so they have more user and future customers. Therefore use their desire of growth as advantages to increase your internet speed. The net neutrality problem is actually not solvable. Remember that T-mobile and spotify offered free spotify premium? It was against the rule of net neutrality but beneficial to customers and completion since T-mo is the smaller carrier in the US. ATT offer their customers free HBO and it's not against the net neutrality ruling, because they own HBO. Is that really net neutrality and so good for the competition? I'm going to say by not knowing who operates the network, internet companies would build the network more neutral, cause they don't want someone use it against them easier later, since better and easier access basically equals to easier to attack. By government owning the pipes, they could invite local and other internet companies all over the country to monitor the build process, I believe if someone build the network so people accessing Disney+ better than CZcams and Netflix, they would complain loudly and clear. You could also make rules so that same company cannot build the same network twice in a row. Since this building method could have regular network upgrade, by always having different company build a network, even someone truly build it to their advantage, by having someone else upgrade it quickly, that advantage won't last.
@@feifeigxx Agreed.
In Europe internet is a utility and heavily regulated.
In France I pay 30$ a month for 500mb/s (around 430 on speedtest.net). I can cancel whenever I want.
Because of the anti monopolies regulations, competition is thriving and prices are low. ISPs are required to let competitors rent their infrastructures so that there is no zone with only one ISP available.
These prices and speeds used to be just dreams in the US, it was the same here before we regulated it. What's changed most though is the way the customer is treated. You don't feel like you're giving your blood to Satan every time you deal with your ISP. There no predatory practices, small print on contracts, ambiguous language, subscriptions where the costs increase without warning,....
It's now been the same with mobile networks for a few years.
I pay 20$ for 100GB 4G with unlimited call & messages, roaming in most of the world, and unlimited calls to landlines in 50+ countries.
You guys seriously need to deals with those vampires at the FCC and get someone there with common sense so what is seen in this video becomes the basic norm.

When your connection is so fast, that the providers themselves become the bottleneck.
Already happens with Gigabit some times, even those running speedtest servers, I have to find companies that are peered to my provider to get any real results
I have a 500/200Mbps connection and I many times the websites/clouds are the bottlenecks. Dropbox, for example, tops at less than 30Mbps of upload speed which is ridiculous.

@Bizz
Providers/ISPs are obviously going to slowly upgrade people's broadband speed. By slowly upgrading people's internet speed, this will give people a bit of a wow feeling that their broadband speed has significantly improved. The storage devices in our computers will have to at least match what broadband speed we get anyway. 4Tbit broadband speed would be pointless anyway, because we currently have no storage devices quick enough to write at that speed.
Awesome work, I'm planning on modernising my household network and upgrading with Fibre, always interesting to watch how fast speeds go down such a thin cable
Nice tour :)
I think the greatest advantage with fiber is the reliability. I have experienced a few minutes downtime twice over a 10 year period.
Before that, with copper, it was weekly or monthly.
Our network is owned by the utility companies, and they are not really forced to rent it out. So there are not many options.
But for the price of $39 including our 25% VAT, for 1/1Gbps, I really can't complain :)
It's pretty much GPON across the country - which was plenty when they laid it out 10+ years ago.
Only in the last few years, some installations has been made as p2p, as far as i know.
"These are all 1Gbps connections, some 10Gbps."
*cries in german*
Really? I figured Germany would be extremely well served. Are you near Berlin or another big city over there?
Lmao Australia got a new network, the plans reduced upload speeds from 40 to 20mbps. We're going backwards.
Im lucky if I get 5mbps down on the outskirts of a city in England
@@nicholasbrownlee4209 Germany still has only a few percent of fiber. Rest is vectoring, DSL, coaxial and dialup. Even mobile network is spotty.
And expensive for this crappy upload speeds ranging 10-50Mbps for normal customers.
@@nicholasbrownlee4209 Germany and Austria have worse Internet than many 3rd World countries, you will get 40mbps through DSL in most cities but if you want anything faster you either are lucky and have a faster than average connection or have to go the LTE route which is inconsistent and expensive.
I live in Vienna and I have to pay 50€ a month for 200mbps via LTE which I only get at night during the week, mid-day I'll be lucky to get 80mbps.

I really hope that I can have a service like Utopia sometime soon. I previously had Century Link gigabit, which was pretty fantastic, though it would often dip as low as 500 Mbps on both download and upload. I also only had CAT 6 to my apartment, so latency was usually around 30-40 ms. Obviously I still was grateful for the internet I had and it was by no stretch a problem, but still was a concern when I was paying for "up to 1 Gbps" internet.
No kidding! I don't care if Utopia Fiber did it to promote their business, it was interesting as freak! The 9-year-old in me was like 👁️👄👁️ the whole time.

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.

Awesome. Very informative video and presented so nicely.
Interesting! But I got it cheaper :D

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!
That's really remarkable, their service to be able to give you your own slot is really nice, stable and fast. I think a fast internet is a really essential and amazing thing to have. I hope other providers will adapt this amazing feature soon.
This video is great and very educational, keep up the good work. I always wondered how they connected one fiber to another, it's really cool to see those kind of machinery involved in the infrastructure of the internet.
I believe I can speak for most of the US when I say that I am disappointed that we will probably never see this as an option where we live.
Most of us the states are stuck on speeds that can barely be legally called broadband, and we're paying a small fortune every month for it as well. If you can get fiber, it's outrageously expensive.
5g will probably propagate nation wide before rural areas get fiber fast internet
I think if we even *tried* to bring internet as a public utility to my area, we'd hit a roadblock of "that's socialism, you commies!"... City councils are absolutely insane...
@Liam no one said we don't. I said this internet standard will not reach us. And most Americans in city's have fast internet but out side of that rural areas are nowhere near "fast" internet. Especially not so at the "55$ for 1Gagabit" speed. I pay 70$ for 100mbit/s in a city in Massachusetts.
@@RedSoul001 That's considered cheap where come from.
And now for Utopia to travel around the world AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT and give everyone this glorious internet 🙏

(790-880 Mbps) Gig speed to me is just what you showed! And further, my ISP states that it's my router that's the bottleneck. Well, it's the exact same router that your guest was using to demonstrate their 10 gig speeds! I just want what I'm paying for. Absolutely well done video!
This is cool! My isp is digging fiber lines out to my house this week!
Thank you coming from the Philippines.
Dedicated Fiber strand to the home is definitely the future and light years ahead of coaxial delivery. I’m surprised that we’re just now getting there but it’s thanks to companies like utopia for this progress!
Fun that this went up the day after a major fiber outage in Lehi. Someone took out 456 fiber strands and it took out a bunch of local cities' networks including mine :P
Heeeyyy, I'm also in Lehi. Mine wasn't taken out fortunately. It's crazy Utah is ahead of the curve on some things like this. The jump in speed almost makes me feel guilty.
Fiber breaks happen some times. The hope is they repair it quickly.
Backhoes are the threat to all fiber. Can Verify. They hunt and feed upon UTOPIA gear.
When I was halfway through high school in 2008, I moved from Alabama to North Carolina. The town we moved to was just starting to build out their local fiber network. The town runs a local ISP that offered a gigabit connection because Spectrum was having so many issues. The problem is that, well... Politics and lobbying prevented the rest of the state’s local municipalities from being able to do the same thing. All major for-profit ISPs in the state lobbied against the idea of what the town did. I believe it was in 2010 when the state made it illegal for local governments from building their own ISP, but the state couldn’t kill off the town’s local ISP in that process. That town is still running the ISP and it’s still going great, but it can’t expand outside of the county. I have a very personal hatred for the majority Republican state congress and the for-profit ISPs that lobbied for it. They effectively killed genuinely good competition from being started by local municipalities, some of which are still suffering from absolutely horrendous DSL connections in rural areas. Some farms in those rural areas struggle to maintain operations to places outside of their area because the DSL connections they are forced to use are so unstable.
UTOPIA was not all rainbows and butterflies as portrayed in the video. But as the video correctly pointed out, UTOPIA is not an ISP. You a comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps if the same model was followed in NC it could have been successful. At the end of the day every elected official wants money for the budget. With an inherent revenue stream from private business, such as Franchise Tax for the right to run utility lines, it is as equally hard to push a Republican or Democrat to break the conventional mold.
It is disappointing that you have hatred for individuals that have chosen public service. All politicians are prone to corruption; however, most are trying to do what they believe is right. As we fall prey to this next era in history we are currently living, it is fun and hip to create an outlet for blind hatred to blame all your dislikes and failures on a political party--as innocent as Hitler started blaming the Jewish. Where does this hatred go from here? Division. That is the real systemic issue.
Remind me what Kentucky did to prevent google fiber from being installed. The other ISP’s lobby and sue so hard because they didn’t want to give up their monopoly
Very useful for me. Thanks again
My first experience of remote computer access was 1982 at University of Kansas. My dorm's single terminal (80 x 25 chars green on black) used acoustic modem.
Speed = 1200/75 baud -roughly 1200/75 bps.
Keyboard typing limit therefore approx. 8-9 chars/sec.
Reading/download speed 120-150 chars/sec.
When I later learned of 9600 bps modems I was blown away. Now 10G bps for home? - imagine speeds in year 2050 ...

Thanks dude!!
Hi there snazzy! Love your videos! I live in Sweden and recently got a 10 gbit connection to my home. I think it would be interesting to see what ping speeds and latency there will be between us across the world in comparison to more “local” connections.
This is exactly what I what I want to see all across the US. I just can't understand why every ISP has to route their own cables to every house. Oh wait, it's because they don't want competition, they want localized monopolies. Sharing common infrastructure wouldn't let them maintain chokeholds over their customers.
I really wish the US government would step in on this and make internet infrastructure just that, infrastructure, so we could have more choice in ISPs.

Every Australian who’s familiar with network technology cries NBN 😭, because of a $51 billion dollar national roll out of a network that is a joke compared to this. Another fortune will have to be spent to get it up to standard in years to come. We’ve got about 11.6 million premises, so they spent in the range of $4,400 AUD ($3,168 USD) on each premises. We could have had individual fibre connections like Utopia fibre. Which would represent a great long term investment for infrastructure. Instead there’s a huge reliance on FTTN (Fibre to the node) using ancient copper, FTC (Fibe to the Curb) which is close to being good, but still uses copper, and HFC (Hybrid Fibre coaxial) which has real limits.

It's nice that they actually monitor everything, Spectrum internet in my area goes out every night at 12:12 AM and is actually down 15% of the time at around 1 AM they throttle us from 4000mb/s down to 13mb\s
Spectrum offers 4Gbps internet?
Sweet, I've been looking for a channel like this.
No complaints here about my grandfathered-in 1GB up/down speeds for $38 a month thanks to UTOPIA. Should probably go ahead and upgrade my router to one that can actually deliver that, but I'm plenty content with the speedtests in the 500-700MBs.
omg i was waiting on this
Snazzy I love your channel because of how relevant it is to me personally. Im also a Utahn so this info helps immensely! I know Google plans to bring fiber to my area soon I'm curious if they are using utopia as well.
Yo Caleb! Funny to see you comment on a Snazzy video. I actually work for him now lol.
So google uses their own network. Utopia does individual fiber to each home, whereas Google uses a technology called GPON, which sort of aggregates connections together. The benefit being that it's cheaper to deploy, but the con being that you get lower latency vs a direct fiber connection.
@@cinebenjamin Some GPON connections can be multimode, meaning at the end you have a dedicated channel to the customer from the building... almost makes really less difference
I wish every state had this system!! thanks!
In Italy something similar happened with Open Fiber, it's awesome. They're basically ISPs for ISPs lol
Same in India for BSNL LOL
I've been on Utopia with XMission for a few months now, and couldn't be happier. Loving the gigabit uploads!
They’re awesome for sure! Thanks for watching, neighbor.
@@snazzy You've got a great channel! I've been watching for quite a while now.
I'm also a CZcamsr (in Orem) and do videos about live video production and streaming. And I use fiber very heavily for sending video between my mobile production trailer and cameras -- currently a 24-strand trunk to go between trailer and venue. It's cool stuff that allows me to do things I couldn't do otherwise.
@@djp_video no data cap?

In the US where I live if you want fast broadband it has to be cable internet and fastest they offer is 1Gbps / 35Mbps. But the provider is slowly upgrading their network areas to 'high split' which will increase upload speed. Just upgraded the broadband connection to 1Gbps and it's nice being able to download a game in around 10 mins.
I saw this glass binding procedure in my home network. Such infra exist in my small hometown. Thats great.😁 100 mbps for start.
I have 1gbit at home and I pay about $15/month.
Proof that when the network is built out properly and competition increases, prices go way down.
Sweden, for those wondering.
In my city here in Brazil, they used to charge 25 dollars for 1 / 0.3 (adsl), yes this ridiculous speed. The competition has arrived, now I pay 17.8 dollars for 60/30 (fiber indoors)
@@pedrosmarks 60/30? That's a weirdly specific cap tbh. Must be overcrowding on the switches or something. Needs more investment probably.
I got my gigabit fiber right at the start of the *cough cough* lock-downs, It was a GODSEND.
I really appreciate the "real world application" viewpoint of the where are we now pov. I must admit I drool at the last 2 minutes of the video (Speed wise) having a house full of kids that all watch movies game and stream music but the bottlenecks on server side applications like drive youtube etc are the real issue for the feasibility of the investment...right now! Thanks again for all of this. They sound like an AWESOME ISP vs what I am used to.
Glad Utopia is finally coming to my city
Lmao you know you've won the internet jackpot when your upload Speed is higher than your download speed
The wifi card in my laptop seems to be stronger than my routers', since I get 400 down and 700 up on wifi :)
or you are just using a completely overloaded mobile internet connection
Really awesome video! I hope we can get more companies like this bringing high quality web infrastructure competition to more places in the US. The Crapcast/ATT/CenturyLink/Charter oligopoly needs to end in the country that says it loves 'freedom' and 'choices' so much.
Southern Illinois would really benefit from this!
When terabyte games come out this will be very much needed.
damn imagine being poor and watching this in 144p
Wait, that's me
Lucky I just read the comments as I can’t load the video
@@adambarry4711 WoW! What a reply! 👍👏👏
Wait....you know the truth behind German internet on countryside?
smh im watching it in 4k with a 1080 monitor smh
Lol also me
I suffocated when i saw 7000mbps 🥵
I get 50mbps but I used to only get 5-10mbps
Prime same
1mbps gang
me with my 500 mbps
ok i'll stop
Me with half a megabit
Great video! What is that network utility you brought up around 17min?
Great content!
Me: cries with my 5mbps
Snazzy: only 950mbps?
Me: choking on the thought that he is sometimes the host to online games
I have an insanely good internet but due to my ISP's "best route" I get extremely high ping(130+ms) when I play with my friends in my region but when I play alone, I get 60ms on EU servers. Still not good enough when I am playing against Europeans with less than 10ms ping.
"Utopia is proof that the internet should exist as a utility"
That's some straight facts right there.
that is anti capitalism!
I have been in one of those in my state where my fiber utility company has it setup for multiple counties.
Thanks for your sharing
Utopia you have been sent from heaven I wish your ways will be emulated everywhere
And the United States isn't in the top 10 fastest internets by country.
Sweden #1
Or Taiwan
By country yes due to size most countries on that list are smaller but I do hope that the US would step it up.
@@ShiroVAL wasn't #1 Singapore?
#1 is currently Sweden
Man that is awesome!
Very cool video!!! 🤠👍, thanks for uploading 🙂
Cries in 1Mbps BSNL DSL and a ping of 500ms :(
And i am suffering from jioFi sh!t 200 ping and goes to 1000 ping
i have 5Mbps and 700Kbps download speed and 45-65 ping 😥😭
Bruh I'm on 135Mbps and I get 23kbps
