While waiting in a temp apartment to move into a new home in a hinterland satellite of LA (a fairly large one, ~350k pop or so), I was delighted (and somewhat skeptical) to learn that AT&T had a U-verse package with 1GB/1GB fiber for like $90 a month - uncapped no less. For 90 glorious days I sat there incredulously running speedtests of all stripes, trying to get the bandwidth to back off at various times of the day. But it was not a tease; steady 800-900 mbps real throughput night and day.

Sadly it was only available in a small strip adjacent to a highway, and once the house was ready (out in a farther suburb) I had to relinquish this moment to sweet reverie and go back to my Charter life as a humble 100/20 megabit peasant.
