EuroFight Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Do my eyes deceive me?

WhenKittensATK Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 You're a little late to the party. It's only one city that has it and they will probably be the only city for awhile. Its still too expensive to completely wire a city. No idea if they will even make money off of this. Definitely better than anything cable and satellite providers have to offer though.

F13Bubba Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 The free service is only 5 down 1 up, you have to pay the premium if you want fiber speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Yeah I know, and they prevent you from hosting a server on the network, but still, it's an awesome opportunity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive! and Google lawyers have LOTS of experience... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 You're a little late to the party. It's only one city that has it and they will probably be the only city for awhile. Its still too expensive to completely wire a city. No idea if they will even make money off of this. Definitely better than anything cable and satellite providers have to offer though. There are plenty of lobby groups for VA that are giving ungodly incentive for google to lay down fiber. I am sure other states are doing that as well, so I can only assume it won't be too long. But damn though. That free service is about twice as fast as what we can get with DSL, and I can only assume the network latency ping is like .00000001 ns. Though I would probably cough up 70 a month for gigabit down and upload speeds. That paired with kimdotcom's new Megaupload with the crazy bit encryption would be heaven.

ELITE28 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Seems like a good plan, currently internet companies taking you for everything just to get a half decent connection. If only it was available in my area... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
