Actually, that's not really true. Mountain Home Development owns most of the fiber and infrastructure. This means the developer could let whomever they choose provide services on their network. They've just chosen to stick with Broadweave thus far.

So csipos, until they decide to allow multiple service providers on the network, I think your stuck with Broadweave. Not the most ideal of circumstances, but now that they've been bought out by Veracity things are looking a little better at least.

Considering that Broadweave owns all of the fiber and the network infrastructure, I don't see how they would ever allow us to use another provider.

It looks like Lehi city is going after the Google fiber project. (http://www.deseretnews.com/article/70 ... tch-for-Google-Fiber.html) I think there will be several hundred, if not more, cities applying for this, but it's not a bad idea for Lehi to go after it.

I do like the fact that Lehi sees itself as a "high-tech capital" of Utah. I don't think they're nearly there yet, but I'm glad they want to be there. If they do manage to capture Google's interest on this, it would be interesting to see how it plays out up here. TM is about the only area in Lehi where Lehi city doesn't own any conduit for telecom.

Do we have stay with Broadweve or can we go with another net work provider?

My parents have an Amino box with the DVR. I checked yesterday when I was there and it is a newer one than they had in the past. The picture did seem better too and my dad said it doesn't pixelate as much now.

It looks like IM Flash is looking to de-annex from Draper and make all of it's land part of Lehi. I'm not sure what it means as far as their future plans, but could mean for additional expansion of that plant.

Ouch. I work for UTOPIA so shots at UTOPIA hurt a little bit. However, I do understand the complaints people have had over the Mstar video service.

Interesting you should bring that up, because the Veracity/Broadweave video service actually comes from the video headend that was originally providing the Mstar video service. However, the problems were related more to set top box problems and a poor HD channel lineup than to any issues with the headend. Since then, Veracity/Broadweave has migrated towards a newer generation of ADB set top boxes that are far better than what Mstar customers ever had. I think that they're planning to use these at Traverse Mountain. I think they've also added to their HD channel lineup from what it was when Mstar was involved.

I know that it was mentioned at the last HOA meeting that Veracity was planning to have a meeting to announce the details of their video service. I'm assuming that they'll include details about channel lineups and set top boxes at that time.

Cresthaven is the first area you pass on the left as you are coming up Traverse Mountain Boulevard after turn left at the Sales Center. This area has gone back and forth between being a condos and single family residences. The last plan for it that I saw was for single family residences to be built by Epic Homebuilders, but they weren't able to sell any homes, and I believe the property was foreclosed on. If they're changing the plan again, it's likely that they've got a buyer lined up.

This will be interesting to see develop. Does anyone know for sure that the HOA actually has a contract with Broadweave/Veracity? I haven't really been impressed with IPTV that I've seen in other places (my parents have MSTAR/Utopia service).

In the past, they've told me that they will let you honor your contracts with Dish or Directv until it expires, then they will require you to switch.

I would hope that if the association is negotiating a bulk rate that we would get better pricing, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Noticed this is set for discussion and approval with the city planning commission. 4200 North Traverse Mountain Boulevard. Not exactly sure where that is - maybe over by the Challenger School?
