Rubes Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I live in Salt Lake City, and Google just announced it's coming here. I'm happy about it since I still use DSL (15-20 Mb/s) and won't do the Comcast thing, but I just wanted to see if anyone here lives where it's available and has any experience with it, both from a price and performance standpoint.
/dev/null Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Search engines, streaming video, VOIP and now they want to compete with Metamucil? I guess it makes sense. Google© is already in everybody's sh*t. They might as well help produce it

DC Tom Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 No, I'm stuck with Verizon's inconsistent service. Must be why my intertubes are clogged...
The Poojer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I've said it before. I've never had the tiniest bit of trouble with anything Verizon related. Service, customer support, nothing. I count myself as very fortunate No, I'm stuck with Verizon's inconsistent service. Must be why my intertubes are clogged...
Rubes Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Well this thread went to schit quickly. No kidding. Almost sorry I asked.
/dev/null Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 No kidding. Almost sorry I asked. Seriously tho. Google Fiber is hard to judge right now. According to their map (https://fiber.google.com/newcities/) it's only available in 3 cities with 4 more planned (Salt Lake among the 4 planned). Sounds great if it works as advertised. But understand that this is a new technology/service and you will be a paying guinea pig as they work out the bugs

What a Tuel Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) As big as Google is (which may end up being a problem), it is the solution to the other bastard ISP's price gouging, and data caps. Since Google is so entrenched in the internet, it has a vested interest in people actually utilizing the internet for any purpose rather than limiting your access and charging a premium. Are there any data caps on my internet connection? No way! We want you to use and enjoy your broadband or gigabit connections. There are no caps or limits to the amount of data you can send or receive. There needs to be competition, I only wish it would come to Buffalo. It'll be a looooong time before that ever happens though. Edited March 27, 2015 by What a Tuel
