Cigs to Gigs

Smoker of 20 years upgrades from cigarettes to a Fiber Optic Internet connection to his home

Can access to the fastest connectivity available be enough to drive a long-time smoker to never light up again? This question started as more of a dare between friends but quickly became serious when Steve E. Miller realized that Tim Williams, Founder/CEO of Digital West, was not joking about doing a free Metro Fiber build to Steve’s home with the catch that Steve had to quit smoking – no butts about it.

Enticed by the idea of a connecting to the Internet at 1 Gbps (or 1,000 mbps) via Digital West Metro Fiber, a service usually only offered to businesses, it didn’t take long for Steve to agree.

Officially smoke-free for 456 days, Steve is now living a life upgraded from cigs to gigs.

Having run an extreme metal label out of his home via the Internet back in 1996, Steve is now a professional photographer. He continues to be an avid Internet user for both personal and business intentions. Show Support Give a shout out to Steve via social media.
