I used to work in one of the participating ISPs. The organization of Utopia was a PITA, but the idea was really good and generally well implemented, with some portable exceptions. My biggest issue is that they take huge subsidizations from the state to deliver internet, then turn that around and outbid competitors for state circuits using the subsidized rate. Not really saving them any money, but it looks good on a quote.

Good on them. They are using the same tactics ISP's have used to screw the general public but instead they are at least providing the services they promise.
