You can get up to 10 Gbit in Chattanooga with a similar system:

I am crying look at this. We're lucky to get 50 Mbps here in Sydney,Australia :(. The "gigabit" speeds here seem to be in the 250 Mbps range [0]

Sure, 0.25 Gbps, it’s not like your ISP is lying. I had 0.1 Gbps before Google Fiber came through.

EPB of Chattanooga is always the model system for muni internet. They also said that their goal is not to dominate (which is their current position now), but to make sure that at least competing companies will match up their offerings (which commercial consumer ISPs tried until EPB rolled out multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds).
