    Google beginning installations this week... still extremely jealous even though few if any sites would be able to come even close to delivering the content from their end.

    This video from a Google presentation says that users can realistically expect 1Gb/s up AND 1Gb/s down.

    Hope they have an extension cord that's as long as a 3-hour trip.

    Amazing. Only after Google announces it's coming to Austin, does AT&T pull 1Gbps fiber out of their ass overnight. Reason #5,640 of why I hate the fucking phone, cable and internet companies. Only until someone else comes along with something better, do they actually fucking upgrade their stuff and offer faster or better options, instead of the price gouging shit they offer now.

    Yup. The entire reason why the US has one of the worst internet infrastructures of any country that isn't a fuckin' third world.

    Yep. I read about these other countries just crawling in fiber internet (Norway), and yet we're stuck with this backwater, third world country shit for internet, cable and (cell) phone infrastructure. What a joke. I hope Google covers this entire country with their fiber and all these other companies go suck a dick and drown.

    You should hate the U.S. government for allowing them in fact in many cases giving them monopolies in many areas in the country. Competition will always force companies to delivery better products and/or lower prices to compete with each other for the $.

    They seem to be focusing on what I would consider small market cities so chances of it coming to Houston are probably years away.

    Charleston is a great town and all, but what better place to do some testing than a college town with students living all over the town and most living off campus. With accessing classes, and online learning and submitting homework not to mention all the surfing they do there would be a lot of traffic to test. Might as well bring it to Central PA
