Talk about trying to take over the internet. While I'm suspicious of google and their data gathering practices, I can't help but want this to succeed. If they can really pull this off, it'll pretty much change the way we play games.

Cant be any worse than cable companies like Comcast or Verizon FIOS. I am all for more competition in the TV/Internet at home game.

If they actually achieve speeds that they say, im sure other companies will have to invest some of their profits in faster lines as well. Benefits everyone

Oh my fucking god... I am so sorry for you... I used to have that. But now I live on a military base, internet isn't exactly that much better lol.

I thought about switching to dsl, but the only way the price is decent is to get phone. The fuck needs phone service anymore.

Google held a competition for cities to be selected. Tons of towns went in on it... Kansas City won. Was hoping Duluth, MN would win... only 3 hours away from here, I'd be willing to move lol

Yeah, google is obviously going to save all your info when you use their fiber. Obviously, so they can spy on you and blackmail you and give you personalized ads.
OBVIOUSLY.

Also, It's just fiber, nothing really extraordinary. You should be more worried of ever being able to use your 125 MB/s download speed. Atleast it seems pretty cheap, for now.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

same here, and probably everywhere in the midwest, cox is basically cable, but with really good inet. At least with my experience (not this shit wifi i'm on.)

I've had cox for years and have nothing negative to say about it - always fast and reliable
