There are many reasons why you may not be achieving Gigabit speeds. Let's start by pointing out that the best way to get the maximum internet speed is to connect your computer directly to the EPB Fiber Optics jack using a Cat 5e ethernet wire. Keep in mind that advertised speeds can rarely be achieved on WiFi because the signal strength diluted over a wireless network. If you're using a WiFi router, there are several factors that can affect your performance. The age and type of wireless router, as well as its placement in your home are determining factors of speed and performance. And, like all technology, wireless routers are continually improved and updated for better performance. If you're using older equipment that wasn't made to handle such speeds, we recommend that you upgrade your router and computer if necessary.
For your convenience, we offer several Pay Stations at various locations within our service area that accept payment by cash, check, credit or debit card. You can also make payments at one of our three convenient locations:

Yes, McAfee LiveSafe is included with our internet products at no additional charge.

We believe this software will help give our customers a safer, more secure online experience.
Fiber optic technology transmits information using laser-generated pulses of light that travel over hair-thin strands of glass fiber. Because light travels faster than anything else in the universe, fiber optics provide faster uploads and downloads while reducing network reaction times. Traditional communications companies use copper lines to transfer their signal to your home or business. EPB Fiber Optics is the area's only provider that uses 100% fiber optics.
Residential customers may request to be billed on one of four optional dates each month. To choose a due date that’s right for you, call us at 423-648-1372.
Business customers can call 423-648-1500 to speak with a business account representative about options available to you.
Since every EPB Electric Power customer account uses power before the first bill is received, we require an initial deposit of $200.00 to cover the cost of this power. However, all new applicants for service undergo a review of their credit history and those with a satisfactory credit rating may have the deposit waived or billed on the first month's bill. Customers with less than satisfactory credit will be required to pay a deposit in advance. Deposits may be paid using Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, debit card or cash in person at one of our three convenient locations and must be paid before electric service can be connected.
Setting up a home WiFi network is the perfect way to share the internet throughout your home on various connected devices, and it’s as easy as purchasing a wireless router.
For our 300 Mbps Internet service, we recommend an “80.11n dual band” router. These routers allow access to connections from 2.4Ghz up to 5Ghz and range in price from $80 to $100 at most electronics retailers.
For our Gig customers, we highly recommend an “802.11ac” router. Unfortunately, there are no wireless routers currently on the market that are capable of delivering a full gigabit of speed, but “ac” routers are the fastest available so far. They range in price from $135 to $250 at most electronics retailers.
Plug the wireless router into the indoor modem box EPB-installed Ethernet wall outlet using a Cat5 Ethernet cable (included with the router) and then simply follow the instructions provided by the router manufacturer on setting up your own home WiFi network.
The EPB Fi TV app offers the same three Channel Packages as our previous TV plans, including:
Bronze (23 channels, including all local affiliates)
Silver (95 channels)
Gold (156 channels plus 50 music channels)
All available On Demand content for each network is also included.
There is no charge for residential installation. And, with EPB there are no contracts or hidden fees.
Your security deposit – plus interest – may be refunded upon your request after 12 months of continuous service and a good payment record. If you disconnect your service before your deposit is refunded, the full amount of the deposit and any accrued interest will be applied toward your final bill. Any amount remaining will be refunded to you.
You will receive emails for when your bills are due. They include the billing amount, due date and a link to paying them online. You can also access previous bills electronically. Make a one-time payment using a credit or debit card or pay by phone or in person or set up autopay for automatic monthly payment.
If your power is disconnected for nonpayment, a fee is required to reconnect. If reconnection happens at the meter on the same day during business hours, the fee is $29.00. After business hours the fee is $64.00. If reconnection can wait until the following day, the fee is $17.00. If reconnection happens at the utility pole, the fee is $75.00. Pre-Pay Power accounts may be reconnected by bringing your Pre-Pay Power balance up to at least $50. No reconnection fee is required and services can be reconnected in minutes.
With EPB, upload and download speeds are symmetrical, or the same. So, if you have The Gig, you get up to 1,000 megabits both up and down.
In the MyEPB online portal you can manage your account information, pay your bills, see your usage history and much, much more.
It depends. Like all technology, wireless routers are continually improved and updated so performance could be based on the age and type of router. We recommend that you check your wireless router with a “speed test” to ensure you are receiving the best performance from your new speed, and upgrade your router if necessary.
By default, customers receive a simplified bill, showing the amount of electricity used and amount of payment they owe. However, we also offer a detailed bill with a breakdown of costs, including TVA’s current adjustment for the cost of fuel to generate energy.
To start receiving detailed bills, please call us at 423-648-1372.
An “802.11n” or newer router is preferred for 300 Mbps. And for Gig customers, EPB suggests a dual band “802.11ac” router. In fact, an 802.11ac router is best for maximum performance at any speed – especially in larger homes with multiple internet devices and users. EPB Smart Network service includes the right router professionally installed, network setup optimized for maximum WiFi performance and anytime expert support for just $9.99 (plus tax) per month.
These are two different frequencies you can set your router to deliver. The 2.4 GHz frequency has a longer range, which means it will project your WiFi signal further away from the router - even through barriers like walls. The 5 GHz transmits a shorter signal, but at a faster speed. A "mesh network" combines the two frequencies for an optimized experience on most devices.
And, EPB Fiber Optics’ Smart Network whole-home WiFi solution makes creating and maintaining a WiFi network easy. For just $9.99 a month (plus tax) you’ll receive the right router and equipment, professional network set up to make the most of your EPB internet connection, plus expert support available 24/7/365. Technicians are available to come out to your home anytime to help maintain your network, including equipment upgrades, as needed.
Fi Phone includes many popular features including voicemail, call forwarding, call blocking, call waiting, robocall stop, speed dialing, three way calling, call transferring and more. And, affordable domestic and international calling plans are also available.
If service is disconnected due to nonpayment, we require that all past due balances be paid as well as any reconnection fees and security deposits.
Because all Fi TV Select channels are delivered as a digital signal, you need a set top box on each TV in order to receive this TV service. However, our EPB Fi TV app is delivered over our internet on streaming devices you may already own so you could save money each month and get even more features.
The EPB Pre-Pay Power option eliminates late fees, reconnect fees and security deposits. With Pre-Pay Power, you can decide what works best for you and your budget. If it’s difficult for you to make large monthly payments, you can pay smaller amounts daily, weekly, or biweekly instead. Pre-Pay Power puts the power in your hands. To sign up for Pre-Pay Power, please call us at 423-648-1372.
If your router was provided by EPB Fiber Optics through Smart Network, it should perform well at these speeds. If for any reason it does not, please let us know. If you purchased a wireless router on your own, a quick Google search of the make and model number (indicated on your router) will determine if its frequency matches “802.11n” or “802.11ac”.

Because of many factors, TVA’s power rates fluctuate. One factor is TVA’s total monthly fuel cost, which is a mechanism used to recover the cost of fuel (like coal and natural gas) needed to generate power. The total monthly fuel cost is also used to cover the cost of purchasing power outside the TVA service area.
We provide Fi-Speed Internet access to your office or business facility, but we do not set up or manage customer systems or hardware.

Each solar panel within the array is estimated to produce approximately 37 kWh per month, but this amount can be higher or lower based on time of year and weather. Determine the percentage of your home's energy use you want to receive as a solar credit and multiply that by your average monthly energy use. For example, if you want 25% of your home's power use to be solar, and your average use is 1,600 kWh per month, you would license 11 panels (1600 x .25 = 400/37 = 10.8).

Unfortunately no. Fi TV Select service is no longer available for ordering and cannot be transferred to a new address. However, we have a better option. App-based EPB Fi TV works over the internet on many smart TVs and most streaming devices (like Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, Apple TV, Android devices and others). It offers all of the same channels and features plus more and works on most popular streaming devices, so it doesn’t require you to rent set top boxes.
Try pressing the STB button located in the upper left of your remote to sync it with your tv’s set top box. Then your remote will begin controlling Fi TV instead of another component. If you're still having trouble, give us a call anytime at 423-648-1372.
First, our technicians will make a “pre-installation consultation” to assess certain aspects of your home. This includes discovering the locations and specifications of your computer and router (if you have a wireless network) to ensure both will deliver that kind of speed. We will determine the best path to run new Ethernet wiring, which is required to handle 10-Gig Internet. And, we will work with you to determine the best possible location for the special ONT box we will need to install inside of your home in order for you to receive 10-Gig service. Afterwards, we will schedule the actual installation with you for another time. Both visits can be scheduled at your convenience.
