I also wouldn't put it past the average consumer to prefer 'installing' a website/webapp into their browser as they do an app..

I use mtr every day, and I haven't seen anything that beats it.

You can even press 'd' twice, and you'll get something similar to prettyping, but you get it for each hop along the path.

It's important to note the difference between refined sugars (candy) and natural sugars (fruits). Refined sugars are basically fructose (hello High Fructose Corn Syrup).

Refined sugars -- super hella bad.

When you eat the refined sugars, your liver actually traps the ATP, blocking the pathway to the brain, making you still feel hungry.

Hah gotta get that sulforaphane!

Though I do agree - her podcasts can sometimes be a bit of an information overload for those who aren't biomed folk. However in my opinion, her youtube channel[1] is significantly easier to follow as there are often animations and more lengthly explanations.

I highly recommend looking into the work of Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. She has extensive material explaining the science behind IF, and many other topics relating to bio pathways and aging.

pmccarrenon Help name a Fiber ISP

Hah might as well just go iFiber ;)

There are no inclusion requirements for the name.

I've been playing with 'light', 'lumens', 'illuminate' and 'photon' as base words but haven't yet come across something that seems to fit. However I'm always open to any and all suggestions :)

Love the simplicity of it. Could definitely build a strong analogous marketing campaign around laying fiber is to stitching the service together.

Also could go the route of a strand of glass is the thread in which we sew you into the fabric of the Internet but I suspect this would be lost by the average consumer.

Hah I was thinking along very similar lines! One name that has occurred to me is MiFiber (pronounced My Fiber") to play off the Michigan concept.

I do think that Pure Fiber is a pretty smooth name.

I believe FiberOne is already taken by a different type of fiber ;)

It is not important nor a requirement to have the word 'Fiber' in the name. A possibility is to have <epic name> and then attach 'fiber' secondarily (e.g. "Google Fiber").

Thinking about it from a biological perspective is quite intriguing. I agree, 'Shunt' is indeed fun to say and the monosyllabic nature is a sure plus.

I wonder if it has too much of a negative tone as it is very similar to 'shun'. Thoughts?

Ah that's a very interesting concept. I appreciate your time! Thank you!
