There it goes, working again.
In Mass. there is a public Gb net that is free to all of the libraries, trying to arrange it for the rest of the township is a bitch. I like the idea of semi-public where the lines are owned by the public and you purchase service from ANY provider you like, that smells like competition to me. Kind of like the roads, you know we pay for them and everyone uses them to do their business.

Yeah, Chattanooga gets their electricity real cheap too, as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933. And for the same reason too. The government produces the electricity and sends it out to small co-op distributors who have their profits capped at X dollars above the purchase price (plus money for keeping the power poles, and other company owned equipment running).
I had a small 900 sq. ft. apartment there doing a consulting gig, and my electricity bill was around $30 a month in the summertime.

Learn the lingo, dude or they'll abuse you for a flatland furriner where they have such as spaceships. And enjoy the free public network while you can. My misbegotten Massachusetts town is probably a harbinger of rotten to come, the first wretched wide spot in the Commonwealth road to drive a wooden stake through its library.

In Chattanooga, too, the library ties into it. Funny how that happens; it's almost like they want people to learn.

I see that they also have a 'Zine section on the same floor, shouldn't that really be located in the Men's bathroom?
