Chattanooga, Tenn. was historically known as "River City" for its prime waterfront location along the Tennessee River. A few years ago, when it installed a city-owned fiber-optic network, it became known as "Gig City." Local leaders -- especially Mayor Andy Berke -- now tout Chattanooga for having the fastest and one of the least expensive high-speed Internet services in the U.S.
