After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content download given a possible VPN leak. I know this is highly subjective but I want to understand all the possibilities what could happen.

I had gig up / gig down fiber at a previous house.. it was amazing.. never went down always has bandwidth no matter what I was doing or who was streaming. I (used to) do a lot of uploading to users for media and I never had a hiccup.

Get it.. and get the fastest you can afford. You'll love it.

Also no they won't be paying attention anymore than a standard isp. Tho.. if you're.worried about it.. just get a decent VPN.

Good luck op! Consider me jealous
