It's actually... cheap.

There’s an initial $300 construction fee to get the fiber installed at your house but Google is currently waiving it and offering three different packages: Gigabit Internet + TV for $120 a month, an Internet-only plan for $70 a month, and the option to pay the $300 construction fee and get 5Mbps internet access for free for "at least" seven years. Key institutions are getting the full gigabit access for free as well.

Up to one gigabit upload & download speed • Full channel TV lineup • 2 year contract • No data caps
Nexus 7 tablet • TV Box • Storage Box • Network Box • 1TB Google Drive • $120/mo + taxes and fees

Free tablet!

I know it looks like I'm some kind of marketing drone, but it's just... so... beautiful...

This is where you ask yourself if you REALLY like the internet or not.

That's expensive? Well, maybe I'm used to expensive service... difference being that the expensive service here is shitty anyway. Just less shitty than the cheap one!

What's the normal price to pay for say, 10 Mbs over there?

Usually like 50$ a month for that speed.

Eh, then $120 seems like a really good price. I mean, you ARE getting the highest possible bandwidth <_< Personally, I would pay it Razz I would even pay the $300 installation fee.

I know we have comcast and pay over 120, but we also have phone+internet+tv.


Zillah we all know you live in KC, test it and see what it can do.

Oh..

You can get 150 download and 65 upload for $100 though.

I pay $45 a month for 16mbps download. I'd be MORE than willing to triple that price for a 1Gb download speed.

Too bad you'll very rarely be able to connect to a fast enough host for it to be worth it.


$120 a month doesn't seem bad at all for that speed though. Around $40-50 for a 10mbps connection seems normal here. That's only for the first year though, then they shoot it up $20 or so. That is unless you cancel after the special price expires, they always just give you the deal again.

Doesn't sound bad at all.
I have an extreme 50meg connection through Comcast and at full price it is $100+ a month.

So this would be, what, at least twice as fast? Only available in KC though...?

Ars Diaboli

Ars Diaboli

^Well, twice as fast is an understatement... you would be getting a 2000% speed boost. Unless I fail horribly at math.

It seems Google is just starting this out, but if there's enough demand they'll obviously reach more areas.

That's my problem. I can never keep the big "M" little "m" math staright etc...

It's actually the B/b that's important Razz

Just look at it this way: B (byte) is big/capital, therefore it's more. b (bit) is small/, therefore it's less.

1 Byte = 8 bits.

Internet speed is measured in bits, storage is measured in Bytes.
1 MB = 1 MegaByte
1 Mb = 1 Megabit

I'm not sure of the reason why it's like this, I kinda suck at networking, but that's the way it is.

so a gigabit is small?

its like that because bits are larger, so customers think they are getting really fast MB internet, when its actually 8x slower Razz
