[quote]Provo will be the third metropolitan area in the country to get the much-desired fiber-optic Internet network known as Google Fiber. In an announcement scheduled for today at the Utah Valley Convention Center, Mayor John Curtis and representatives of Google said they’ve reached an agreement in which the existing city-owned fiber-optic network known as iProvo would be sold to Google and turned into Google Fiber. The Google Fiber network will offer residents up to a gigabit, or more than 1,000 megabits, per-second of Internet speeds (both download and upload) to their homes.[/quote] [url]http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/56168330-79/google-network-fiber-provo.html.csp[/url] [url]https://fiber.google.com/cities/provo/[/url] This is exciting, as long as I remain in Provo long enough for them to start offering it.
When can we expect it in the UK this 400 kb/s is seriously painful
Woo! Finally something good to come to my state.
Expanding much faster now... please come to Canada, please.
And here comes the thread of: Please Google Fiber come to (insert your home city/country)
Actually no, mormons fucking LOVE porn. There is so much fucking bullshit sexual repression in the mormon society that Utah has the highest rate of porn subscribers in the nation I think. Also...Fucking google fiber coming to my state...I am so fucking hype. So hype right now, please destroy comcast in this area. PLEASE.

PollytheParrot's going on a dumb rating spree, y'all watch the hell out
Polly the parrot stop spamming dumb ratings.
Fucking hell I'm sorry I made a post about wanting something good
Holy fucking shit, I live in Provo Utah.
[QUOTE=Llamalord;40318413]Holy fucking shit, I live in Provo Utah.[/QUOTE] Tell me how it is if you get it, if they cap it or anything.
why Utah? North VA/washington D.C/PG County please
[QUOTE=BenJammin';40318470]Tell me how it is if you get it, if they cap it or anything.[/QUOTE] Well the thing is, is that you could only download at the speed at which the servers can send data to you. So there's a speed bottleneck, but that doesn't mean I couldn't get 100 torrents all downloading at once. My internet speed right now is 5mb/s so I'm very happy. ;)
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;40318391]Fucking hell I'm sorry I made a post about wanting something good[/QUOTE] That's okay man, just don't want anything ever again because SH reckons you don't deserve it
Oh, boy. Here comes the, "here comes the" posts. [editline]17th April 2013[/editline] this just got meta
it better come to northern utah to my town :c
[QUOTE=LilRobot;40318686]it better come to northern utah to my town :c[/QUOTE] Provo is in northern Utah. Seriously, though, why Provo?
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;40318222]When can we expect it in the UK this 400 kb/s is seriously painful[/QUOTE] yeah man i barely get by with 50kbps, how the fuck can you even bear living with 400kbps
[QUOTE=BaconWallet42;40319319]Provo is in northern Utah. Seriously, though, why Provo?[/QUOTE] The article says that Google's just buying the already-existing Fiber network, iProvo. It's probably a hell of a lot cheaper for them to do that and then expand it to include more of Provo than to build a network from the ground up. Just taking advantage of the opportunity.
Maybe it will come up north so I can use it when I'm not down there. Provo already has super fast internet, that's where all of grandmas emails originate.
[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;40318316]And here comes the thread of: Please Google Fiber come to (insert your home city/country)[/QUOTE] fyi, rating spam is bannable.
JUST MOVE UP A LITTLE AND OVER TO THE LEFT MORE, THANKS YOUR FRIEND, OREGON

[QUOTE=Llamalord;40318413]Holy fucking shit, I live in Provo Utah.[/QUOTE] Thank you for volunteering to become Facepunch's guinea pig.
OMG. Come on google guys, come to Argentina, im so fucking tired of having to download at 200 kb/s (peak during night. During day is pure shit).
Since we're all requesting...SACRAMENTO PLEASE
I think that Salt Lake could have been better off, then again maybe I'm just being a jealous bitch about it.
Too bad it's not Salt Lake.
No seriously, why Utah of all places? Theres major cities that I expected to be first in line.
