[QUOTE=bord2tears;47024107]Come in Louisiana? Bah, I feel like we'd be the last fucking backwater to get good internets.[/QUOTE]
Move to Lafayette and you can get gigabit for just a bit more than google fiber. 1000/1000 for $110, 80/80 for $55. I'd kill for those prices.
Ugh, even if they came to Dallas I'm sure my apartment complex would lock me in to Time Warner's shitternet somehow.
Goddammit I hate Time Warner so much.
This is so exciting, I love seeing the progress of this. I seriously hope they start hopping the border in the next couple of generations of service, I mean look at this map:

They started at [i]only[/i] Kansas City and the project trials only began in 2011, so it's really starting to spread out quick now.
Google Fiber, 90 miles away.......
Oh well it's a start I guess
maybe I will just stay in Utah and move to SLC

Bring it to ___. Time Warner sucks
I like how Jacksonville, FL isn't even a potential city yet...What Google? Our city may be the biggest land wise in the lower 48, but that's no excuse to skip out! Guess I'm stuck using comcast...
[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;47023885]Come on with Jacksonville! We've got a ton of people! Way more than some other cities.[/QUOTE]
That feeling when another Facepuncher lives in the exact same city

Bring it to Charlotte. Time Warner sucks
Oh hey.
But seriously I am paying $70 a month for 50mbps and that is just the 12 month price :suicide:
Oooo It's coming to city near me. Now if only it would come to my city, that would be even better
[QUOTE=Naelstrom;47023954]I live in Salt Lake City! YES![/QUOTE]
You're going to get it in downtown SLC while I'm stuck here in South Jordan wishing I lived a few miles south OR north.
Still no Chicago?
Gee lets just leave out the third largest city in America. It probably has to do with Comcast's bullshit monopoly here.
Bring it to Detroit dammit.

You mean, "Let's just roll out our still-experimental infrastructure to a giant city for billions upon billions of dollars instead of taking smaller steps to make sure we don't fuck ourselves over in the long run."
Yes! I live in Cary/Morrisville
That's so sick! though I'm curious how apartment complexes work for such a thing. I imagine they complex would have to go through and get all the installations done with google themselves rather than an individual apartment having it over the whole block.

hey san jose
nearby, but a shithole.

i know i will never have good internet, in the mountains with nothing but shitty at&t lines and service, where the best they can promise is 6mbps but they cant even hit that mark

i live 15 mins away from silicon valley but it takes me 2 whole days to download farcry 4
Google will soon be involved in every aspect of our lives.
Bring google fiber to Dallas please.
Bring it to Australia I'm tired of this 9th world internet
[QUOTE=mikerocks;47023553]I'm glad all of the salt lake metro area will be getting it, the city has been working with google to get it going. Granted there is lots of fiber around in utah already.[/QUOTE]
It's bittersweet, Google has been mildly anti-competitive in considering where to deploy. They ask for very special permissions and exemptions from the city before it will even consider a rollout. I'd much rather have SLC drop Google fiber and give a green light for Macquarie and UTOPIA; municipal fiber is the future IMO.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47023534]Why not Australia? We have the worst fucking Internet out of a lot of Western countries shouldn't we be given some priority?[/QUOTE]
Because of low profit due to everyone being too spread out, its the same problem the NBN faces.
[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;47024616]That feeling when another Facepuncher lives in the exact same city[/QUOTE]
At least it's not Fruxodaily.
(if you see this - kidding m8)
come to adelaide thanks
I hope they'll also expand their networks outside the US someday.
Although I'm quite satisfied with the speeds we have right now, another upgrade would be real, real nice.
Obviously if they do so, it will take a long time.
why are they ignoring northern states?

probably has something to do with technological hubs and other infrastructure stuff

More competition and innovation in the internet service provider market is definitely needed.

I think this speaks volumes.
You're bringing it to Nashville please just come down south a little further and bring it to Memphis. Comcast here is fucking horrid.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47023398]It's good that Google is continuing to build it's fiber network. But I have a feeling that this could be sped up faster if the government got behind this as well.[/QUOTE]
But that would kill competition, according to the nation's leading service providers! That's why they're fighting so hard to roadblock Google with legislation preventing them from expanding their network, you see?
Please ignore the fact that [URL="https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-329160A1.pdf"]97.6% of Americans have access to, at most, two service providers for high speed internet (25mb/s and above).[/URL] This is a [B]healthy[/B] market, damnit.
