  Kansas City - The $70 per month will pay for "gigabit" Internet service, about 100 times faster than a basic cable modem. For another $50 per month, Google will provide cable-TV-like service over the fiber, too.

  They're also rolling out their own television service. Game changer.

  • I also believe that they are rolling out their own line of new homes.– utopian

  as much as google scares me, comcast are some terrible motherfuckers and i would drop them in a heartbeat.

  • At least Google would offer good service while stealing your personal life details and selling them off to the highest bidder– ukit21/2

  Whilst America's economy continues to struggle, Australia is sailing relatively untouched and continues to prosper. Yet we are so fucking backwards and will never get anything like this from Google :(

  Our NBN (national fiber network) is a joke. It only will do 100mbps zzz

  So how does this compare with the offering of the NBN here in Australia? Are we rolling outdated technology?

  Barcelona is going to be the 1st city of Spain with full fiber to the home coverage by the biggest ISP.

  I already have it, but the fastest plan you can get is 100 megabits down and 10 megabits up (what I have). Google Fiber is 10 times my broadband and I believe it's symmetric so it's even better.

  Fiber can offer much more than this, the thing is how much your ISP is rolling out now, but the same fiber can sustain more speeds with updated hardware in the future, so even if at first they don't offer gigantic speeds eventually better speeds will come.

  Deploying fiber to the home is not cheap, specially in the US where you have so many people living in the suburbs.

  "Verizon planned to spend $23 billion laying fiber to 18 million homes. Estimates put that at ~$2500 per customer if 40% of the hokes Verizon wired signed up".

  So yeah, it's not like Google will quickly spread the Kansas City experiment all across the US.

  "93 per cent of Australian premises will have access to the NBN through optic fibre to the premises, capable of providing broadband speeds of up to one gigabit per second. The remaining 7 per cent of premises will have access to next-generation fixed wireless and satellite technologies, providing peak speeds of 12 megabits per second"

  Yep we'll get screwed by pricing, and also outdated technology on launch. Just like the shitty myki that is now plaguing Melbourne -- for outsiders, our public transport has a new touch ticketing system that barely works, is slow as fuck causing mass queues and frustration, all for $1.5 billion. Nice one government! Great job!
