it isn't going anywhere, honestly
google fiber will be working for years in the communities that it has already spent huge sums of money to position itself within
verizon fios isn't moving at all on new developments of fiber infrastructure, as well |

So...basically it's just the same service cable providers have given us for the past like 60 years or so?
What's the big deal about that? Because Google's doing it? |

Absolutely not
For starters, the average internet connection in the US goes *up to* 4.6 Mb/s. In reality, these connections are closer to 1 or 2 Mb / s. Google Fiber offers up to one gig, or 1000 Mb/s. That's over two hundred times the speed. In reality, it tends to still offer that same speed, not cut it back halfway like other companies do. So in practice, it's really closer to 400 times the speed the average person currently has.
The best part, though, is the pricing. For FREE (not counting installation fees) you get higher speeds than the average person (5 Mb/s) for seven years. For $70 a month (no construction fees) you get that one gig speed, at a lower price than most companies offer (Comcast, at it's absolute highest offered speeds anywhere, normally offers one tenth of that speed at about $100+ a month). For $120 a month, you get a Nexus Tablet (the tablet is permanent) and TV service added on too. |
