I just want Google Fiber to bring competition to Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T. Google is gonna help netflix and others in the long run. They are gonna get much funding by many.
Gage Eakins Best service at the best PRICE. Now I wouldnt mind paying 5-6$ a month for the shitty speeds I get, but paying what I do which is 30-40 a month for roughly 20 down and 2-3 up is robbery.
Andrew Bourgeois yes and until google fiber isn`t a large problem for these companies they won`t do anything. And when google is going to be dangerous they will offer decent speed and prices. But we will not deceive google. They will have my subscription.
***** Google Fiber has a few different prices. $0.00/mo: includes 5Mbits/s up and down - $300.00 construction fee - No contract $69.99/mo: includes 1000Mbits/s speeds up and down - no construction fee - 2 year contract $129.99/mo: includes 1000Mbits/s speeds up and down, 150+ HD/SD channels - no construction fee - 2 year contract
And the key thing missing from the video and most comments is that the 70$ a month for google fiber isnt just internet, its a Internet AND TELEVISION package.
I hope Google Fiber comes to Boston. Comcast is just pure fucking shit, overpriced and overall awful service. I get about 92 mbps down and 12 mbps up (with new modem plus $10 fee) before I had 28 mbps and 8 up. I pay for internet/phone/cable. My average bill is $ 250+, it's ridiculous. Sometimes my cable blacks out and sometimes my modem resets, absolutely terrible.
We have it and love it, one benefit is we get broadcast when available in 1080p that was a un expected bonus, Crap cast never was above 720P. The customer service is on point and is not condescending.
I want google to threaten other providers with fast speeds and low prices so they too change into higher speeds for lower prices. C'mon google make competition and expand to other cities !
+andy gonzalo (god6less) Tampa and Jacksonville are being considered at the moment. They were looking at Miami for a while but it isn't being considered for the time being anymore. Not sure why. fiber.google.com/newcities/
oh man forreal im in orlando and my only option is bright house I try century link,at&t,ive try calling everyone isp in orlando but unfortunately im not in range so im stuck with bright house.
Just got google fiber in my apartment here in austin, tx this weekend.....the MOMENT the awesome install guy left i called TWC and canceled that garbage. They tried to hard to keep me offering me 600mb d/l for $89 all of sudden. I was paying out the nose for their trash internet service and the install tech tested their service on a speed test website and all we were getting was 9mb down maybe 2 up with 30ms ping. Then turned on the fiber and got 300mb down on wifi not directly plugged in and roughly the same up with a 3 ms ping. BURN IN HELL TWC.
Its nuts that people question the success this is going to have. It's had influence on my plans to move, I'm definitely going to a city that is going to have it.
It's sad that only one company is selling fiber optics while the big ISP's is too busy ripping off their customers with capping/throttling speeds/forcing you to get cable tv with internet with $150 plan. Meanwhile you can just get 5mbps speeds from Google and you don't have to pay a single dime
Bloomberg you need some actual tech analysts you got some stuff right and some stuff wrong and missed a few critical points. Check out Teksyndicate they have done some of the best reporting on this subject and really any other major tech subject. One of the co-hosts Wendell, owns his own IT think tank he really knows his stuff.
I have Google Fiber in my apartment in Durham, NC and it is amazing. Coming from NH where Comcast has the Monopoly and charges twice as much for not even a quarter of the internet speeds, I am thrilled to have it.
+Dominic Boamah Have you not heard? Do you not know? Great lorde masta Comcast rules over these lands of Houston and charges the heathens diamonds for megabytes.
decade ? lol no maybe a few months i hope. Also comcast isnt in. my area ): at&t is bad like bad bad. But google fiber looks beast ! I can finally have good internet for once
Yup, it's nice that Google fiber is coming to Austin, Texas, but why not wire up the entire county? That way things down the line of my internet might even benefit. Hopefully...
If Google wanted to start a political lobbying group with a PAC to donate to politicians who support their states and communities getting 1000mbps at $70 a month, I would donate to it... if and ONLY if that PAC solely focused on creating and changing legislation that encourages the laying of fibre optics for public use (including Google's).
Fact is most cities already have fibre lines running in them, mostly used by Federal and Local buildings. Bottom line is the old ISPs/Telecom companies are too cheap to run them from the mains to private residences and know they can gouge the hell out of shitty broadband as long as it runs better than the extremely shitty version you get for your 20-40 bucks.
Black Cobra -_- that's your computer speed, not your internet bandwidth. Your local network (LAN), is probably using a 1Gbps interface, but you're only paying for what looks like 60Mbps bandwidth from your ISP.
Google Fibre, please come to India ! At least they could install Google Fibre in India's Top 5 metro cities !! P.S: Yaaaayaaaa, we know, even Google street view wont land in India because of super confusing Red Tapism (confusing policies) in India, how can we expect Google fibre in this state, as even the Beam Fibre (ACT Corp, Hyderabad) couldn't land in Chennai because of Political pressures (from Airtel and other players).
Judging from the future coverage map, San Antonio, TX is in the works. I live just outside San Antonio..15 miles or so. If Google fiber does become available in my area, I'm going to ditch my un-reliable wireless broadband provider ..South Texas Internet. 100.00 a month for 15Mbps down and 2Mbps up. But, they are my only choice in my rural area. To hell with satellite ..nope. Dsl is available, but f-ing copper thieves are always messing up the lines, so phones are out 80% of the time. Fiber optic is expensive to roll out, but the savings in the long run would be worth it. No market for stolen fiber optic cable.
I just wish I could get the 100 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up my LTE modem can support! But nooo the nearest AT&T LTE tower is 4 miles... I have an HSPA+ tower 1 mile away but it can only muster 4-10 Mbps
what if? what if local internet and cable providers in certain cities are paying google just to stay away from their province? so that way google won't kill their business? Im stupid
Don't know why this other's companies are complaining, is not like they are bringing unlimited real fast broadband to other cities, the majority in the U.S.A. don't have unlimited high speed internet, Google Fibler should bring their service to cities and towns that have no service of unllimited broadband, where I live in Yakima, WA, United States. Google Fiber should bring this service to Yakima County in WA, U.S.A. they should team up with Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Valve, this big video games companies that people play online games, buy video games online, movies online, stream movies on Netflix, Amazon. The U.S. government should be helping this kind of companies that actually want to bring Unlimited Broadband everywhere and that is good business for the United States and other companies that use the internet to sell stuff, like Amazon, Walmart, Kmart, Target, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Netflix, obvious RUclips, the politicians are so dam stupid, they don't realize that if everyone had Unlimited High Speed Internet, people can actually see them debate when they are running for office, why is nobody telling this to the politicians in the United States why this will benefit all of us, imagine your kid is sick to go to school but in the same time they can put video's in schools connected to the internet and the teacher can be streaming video live, and the student can still be learning, also streaming live videos for classes in college would be better idea, for people who want to learn at their homes. Who ever read this should make a copy and give it to any politician, there should have been already Unlimited High Speed Internet everywhere, how is it possible that we don't have it everywhere, when we already have 4K Televisions, Bluray Discs, PC's that can watch and play video games at 4K, Smart Phones are more stronger and battery last longer. This other companies like, Century Link, Charter, Comcast, At&t and other's have been lazy and just making people more money, what Google is trying to do is a good thing, they brought their Broadband service that quick and they are new to this, wow.
im from argentina , shure it gonna expand to all ee.uu maybe canada then to europe , and maybe japan . after a while maybe they will go to the 3rd world countrys
I despise today's cable, fiber (except for Google Fiber; if only it could be rolled out faster, but apparently there are many impediments keeping that from happening sooner), and cellular (wireless) Internet service providers. That's why I'm starting a satellite-based Internet service provider within the next ten years or so (once I've gotten all the money, of course)! The satellites will have 100% global coverage, and they will orbit at 200 miles above Earth, and will be able to maintain that orbit for up to twenty-five years. There will be 1,024 satellites, arranged into thirty-two orbital planes of thirty-two satellites per orbital plane, which will enable contiguous, seamless, 100% global network coverage. I will offer satellite telephone, satellite radio, satellite television, satellite Internet, and other miscellaneous satellite-based services; as far as Internet service goes, however, there will be absolutely no data caps whatsoever imposed on any customers, which is pretty much a far cry from current satellite-based Internet service providers--as all current ones now have what is known as a fair access policy (F.A.P.)--due to bandwidth constraints of the networking hardware utilized with current satellite-based systems in use today. Because my satellites would be located in a 200-mile orbit, signals will take no more than a minimum of 2.15 milliseconds for at least a 400-mile round-trip from the ground to the closest overhead-orbiting satellite to you; even if you wanted to link with another computer directly from the of the opposite side of the planet--which would mean your signal would have to travel at least 200 miles up to a satellite, then that satellite would have to pass the signal off in near-straight trajectory across many other orbiting satellites that are a part of the whole constellation a minimum of 12,500 miles, then the signal would be sent down another 200 miles from the satellite located closest to the opposite side of the planet where the signal originated; then it would have to be sent back up to that satellite another 200 miles, then rerouted back to where the signal originated at least another 12,500 miles, then it would finally be sent another 200 miles back to the original device after reaching the first satellite, which would imply a minimum round-trip distance of 25,800 miles--however, the round-trip latency would be a mere 161 milliseconds (and this is value is measured from rounding up to 30,000 miles, to account for any additional latency losses). This completely dispels the myth that satellites are and can only transmit bandwidth with unacceptably-high latencies; and not only that, but the latency would actually be lower in many cases! Furthermore, all the data would be stored on the satellites themselves, instead of data centers on the ground, which would probably get around many governmental laws and regulations that dictate what can be stored on servers located within the jurisdiction of a particular country; the signals would be passed off to the ground to satellite stations, which would not store any data, but only transfer information to and from the main terrestrial-based, infrastructural Internet backbone that is the heart of the Internet itself! The data sent to and from satellites would be encrypted, scrambled, and obfuscated through multiple layers of software-based and hardware-based levels of security, which would only be even furthered through the very simple and elegant, yet very effective method of security through obscurity, as all the hardware and software would be developed from the ground-up! There will be no terms of service imposed upon any customer; all service agreements will be completely non-contractual; there will be no roaming charges or data overage charges, because the network will be designed from the very beginning to support potentially billions of users, while being truly unlimited, and at the same time completely wireless. Now, let me get to the bandwidth prices: All of the following are based on unlimited, symmetrical (meaning upload and download speeds are identical), full-duplex (enables users to simultaneously send and receive data; it's basically like having two dedicated Internet pipes for one price), monthly rates: 1 Mbps: free; 10 Mbps: $10 a month; 100 Mbps: $20 a month; 1 Gbps: $50 a month; 10 Gbps: $100 a month; 100 Gbps: $250 a month; 1 Tbps: $500 a month; anything over 1 Tbps will be priced in multiples of $500, per 1 Tbps of additional bandwidth; these are based on prices for 2025, which is the earliest date I expect to go online with this satellite-based Internet service provider. I will also have developed a completely customized, proprietary wireless integrated circuit--radically different from anything available today--which can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, wireless adapters, satellite dishes (either stationary-based or mobile-based), and many other devices that can make use of such hardware. As far as tracking goes, you could even get the signal traveling at orbital velocity, and the connection would still be as smooth as if you were stationary! Now, I just have to figure out how to get the funding, hmmmmm.
I just want Google Fiber to bring competition to Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T. Google is gonna help netflix and others in the long run. They are gonna get much funding by many.
It's already obliterating the competition in the cities where it is.
Andrew Bourgeois I could see why. However, they are doing in the right. They are offering the best service.
Gage Eakins Best service at the best PRICE. Now I wouldnt mind paying 5-6$ a month for the shitty speeds I get, but paying what I do which is 30-40 a month for roughly 20 down and 2-3 up is robbery.

***** Google Fiber has a few different prices.
$0.00/mo: includes 5Mbits/s up and down - $300.00 construction fee - No contract
$69.99/mo: includes 1000Mbits/s speeds up and down - no construction fee - 2 year contract
$129.99/mo: includes 1000Mbits/s speeds up and down, 150+ HD/SD channels - no construction fee - 2 year contract
If Google fiber goes big I'll fork over seventy bucks easy
Neil Leisenheimer They're coming to Atlanta, FUCK YEAH!
InOtherNews1 *Potential to come to Atlanta. Also if your county/suburb of Atlanta said no then you don't get it.
And the key thing missing from the video and most comments is that the 70$ a month for google fiber isnt just internet, its a Internet AND TELEVISION package.
memnarch129 Its actually $120 for internet and television.
InOtherNews1
It's official, now they ARE coming to Atlanta! Can I get a hell yeah?!
I want Google Fiber!
I hope Google Fiber comes to Boston. Comcast is just pure fucking shit, overpriced and overall awful service.

Sometimes my cable blacks out and sometimes my modem resets, absolutely terrible.
***** WOW really?? lol
***** dude i pay 50 for 1.5mbps but actually get like .2-.4 mbps :/
Allan Hernandez Same exact thing here. $50 for trash.
Call your cable company and threaten to leave unless you get a better deal. I did it and saved about 30 a month plus a one time credit of $200.
yall think thata bad ? try .5 Mbps , its awful windstream sucks ass and the worst part is i cant change it because its the only internet in my area .
if this is a uphill battle I hope google wins the battle for this one.
We have it and love it, one benefit is we get broadcast when available in 1080p that was a un expected bonus, Crap cast never was above 720P. The customer service is on point and is not condescending.

god i hope one day they come to Florida and give brighthouse the ass kicking it needs
They are looking at Miami. Go to there website.
+andy gonzalo (god6less) Tampa and Jacksonville are being considered at the moment. They were looking at Miami for a while but it isn't being considered for the time being anymore. Not sure why.
fiber.google.com/newcities/
+andy gonzalo (god6less) Yea I got Brighthouse the price they charge for internet only is criminal.
oh man forreal im in orlando and my only option is bright house I try century link,at&t,ive try calling everyone isp in orlando but unfortunately im not in range so im stuck with bright house.

Its nuts that people question the success this is going to have. It's had influence on my plans to move, I'm definitely going to a city that is going to have it.
If Google Fiber came to Milwaukee, I'd drop Slime Warner Cable like a bad habit.
For anyone that works for google, THANK YOU!! I live in portland and I'm sick of comcast slapping me around for sub par service.
Google fiber FTW!! COME TO CALIFORNIA!!
Why are you coping MrBossFTW
It's sad that only one company is selling fiber optics while the big ISP's is too busy ripping off their customers with capping/throttling speeds/forcing you to get cable tv with internet with $150 plan. Meanwhile you can just get 5mbps speeds from Google and you don't have to pay a single dime
you do have pay $300 to get it tho
Google fiber come to NEW YORK CITY. Its rich.
Danyal Ahmad Really ? When ?
Are you being sarcastic?
Danyal Ahmad No, I'm just Asking.
When NY became rich?
***** ff that
Holy shit why isn't goolge fiber here in San Jose already??!! I cant wait to drop Comcast
Google fiber came to Atlanta and I can't wait to switch from Xfinity.
New York please Google. Cannot wait please let be New York in the list.
Man, it seems that we will not see Google fiber because Verizon won't allow it and there is a monopoly in New York...
Bloomberg you need some actual tech analysts you got some stuff right and some stuff wrong and missed a few critical points. Check out Teksyndicate they have done some of the best reporting on this subject and really any other major tech subject. One of the co-hosts Wendell, owns his own IT think tank he really knows his stuff.
Google Fiber needs to come to Minnesota. They have an extra $2 billion just sitting there they could use to install it !
Hope fully they do, Im paying $50 for 25/6...
I have Google Fiber in my apartment in Durham, NC and it is amazing. Coming from NH where Comcast has the Monopoly and charges twice as much for not even a quarter of the internet speeds, I am thrilled to have it.
google fiber tampa Florida needs you !!!!! 😄
Shut up & take my money!
COME LONDON. WE NEED YOU GOOGLE.
I love how the broadband speedometer they use is exaggerating those speeds like crazy...
Bloomberg. You are my greatest ally.
They don't even have plans to bring it to Washington yet. :c
D.C or Washington State?
DipSetNY State.
I heard one of the next 10 cities supposed to be Seattle.
DipSetNY It didn't say that on their site but hopefully.
I seen it on another blog.
I can only dream Google Fiber comes to my small town lol
Yay I live in Phoenix! Google fiber all the way
Come to Canada one day plzzzz I'm tired of rogers bell etc -.- I'll pitch in $70 a month easy
We need Google Fiber in the windy city of Chicago xD
Canada, please come to Canada!
Your country has a law limit on internet speeds look it up lol
Lumeside L,side internet speed limits!? Well...sucks for Canada
yea its some monopoly crap going up there
Lumeside L,side Sure fuckin' is!
Yeah thank god i don't live in canada your rates are scary
Houston Tx!!!
is still waiting.. Google Cmon
+Dominic Boamah Have you not heard? Do you not know? Great lorde masta Comcast rules over these lands of Houston and charges the heathens diamonds for megabytes.
decade ? lol no maybe a few months i hope. Also comcast isnt in. my area ): at&t is bad like bad bad. But google fiber looks beast !
I can finally have good internet for once
+RichardDJLilD well dont bring it to houston just my neighborhood ? lol
Boston Pleaseeeeee!
Google I don't care if you are possibly the IRL-skynet, fiber to san jose please!
Done!
Putting lipstick on a pig. What happened to Google on the San Francisco peninsula?
I hope Google Fiber will be accessible in Europe some day...
I like googles initiation on increasing the heat on competetion
Google fiber = no cod lag ever again woooooot?
my dad works for a programming company (not going to mention names) and the company provides a 10Gb/s duplex fiber link
Yup, it's nice that Google fiber is coming to Austin, Texas, but why not wire up the entire county? That way things down the line of my internet might even benefit. Hopefully...

Yes!!!!! Salt Lake City has been chosen!!! Thank u Google!!!!!
I think I see my Time Warner cable tech outside cutting my line as I watch this video-----------
Bring it to Denver!
they should definitely do San José, Google is based really near.
New Jersey plz
yes... jersey
Pistol Packing Brony yes Garfield,New Jersey plz plz or New Yokr
lmao you from garfield im from saddlebrook
West Windsor now plz.
I never knew San Antonio and Houston were in Northern Texas.....
Thank you Google for coming to Georgia
San Jose Google, Where are you?
they are working in San Jose just wait
Capitalism, cable companies. Fuckin deal with it.
Southeast Kansas please
I'll switch in a min, need google fiber in long island NY!!
Theres no reason everyone shouldnt have the speeds of Google Fiber
I Want Google Fiber
I get 2megabytes per sec and hearing about 1gb per sec is like hearing a time machine was built. But then it just made realize how greedy AT&T is.
Please come to Philly
as of now with TWC im only paying $60 for 200/50 service so its okay thus far. eventually i expect prices for speed to be cheap.
Any time now Google will bring SATX online 👍👍
google fiber coming to colorado I'm excited don't know when though.....
I have comcast and I get 59 mbps with speedtest but when I check my connections it shows 1 gbps speed, how come?
Black Cobra
-_- that's your computer speed, not your internet bandwidth. Your local network (LAN), is probably using a 1Gbps interface, but you're only paying for what looks like 60Mbps bandwidth from your ISP.
how is a #1 and #2 company merger allowed?
Connecticut needs Google. Like now.
Raleigh is getting it yes
The bigger Google Fiber gets the more like traditional access providers it will become.
Google has a search engine but mainly devoted to advertising.
Google Fibre, please come to India !
At least they could install Google Fibre in India's Top 5 metro cities !!
P.S: Yaaaayaaaa, we know, even Google street view wont land in India because of super confusing Red Tapism (confusing policies) in India, how can we expect Google fibre in this state, as even the Beam Fibre (ACT Corp, Hyderabad) couldn't land in Chennai because of Political pressures (from Airtel and other players).
must be in the entire USA
what is the chance that there going to come to lompoc :(
Orlando Florida Please!!!!!

the two in the middle look like they are not hearing anything.
I feel they are literally just going to say whatever no matter what others say.
comcast slow speeds wheir i live so ya we need google fiber
I just wish I could get the 100 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up my LTE modem can support! But nooo the nearest AT&T LTE tower is 4 miles... I have an HSPA+ tower 1 mile away but it can only muster 4-10 Mbps
what happened to that dudes face at the end lmao xD
what if? what if local internet and cable providers in certain cities are paying google just to stay away from their province? so that way google won't kill their business? Im stupid
charlotte highland creek when in the fiberhood!!!
Why not Los angeles
Asheville NC.
Please!
google fiber is going down hill

There will be no terms of service imposed upon any customer; all service agreements will be completely non-contractual; there will be no roaming charges or data overage charges, because the network will be designed from the very beginning to support potentially billions of users, while being truly unlimited, and at the same time completely wireless. Now, let me get to the bandwidth prices: All of the following are based on unlimited, symmetrical (meaning upload and download speeds are identical), full-duplex (enables users to simultaneously send and receive data; it's basically like having two dedicated Internet pipes for one price), monthly rates: 1 Mbps: free; 10 Mbps: $10 a month; 100 Mbps: $20 a month; 1 Gbps: $50 a month; 10 Gbps: $100 a month; 100 Gbps: $250 a month; 1 Tbps: $500 a month; anything over 1 Tbps will be priced in multiples of $500, per 1 Tbps of additional bandwidth; these are based on prices for 2025, which is the earliest date I expect to go online with this satellite-based Internet service provider.
I will also have developed a completely customized, proprietary wireless integrated circuit--radically different from anything available today--which can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, wireless adapters, satellite dishes (either stationary-based or mobile-based), and many other devices that can make use of such hardware. As far as tracking goes, you could even get the signal traveling at orbital velocity, and the connection would still be as smooth as if you were stationary! Now, I just have to figure out how to get the funding, hmmmmm.
we need google fiber on new york ;(
So true :( im using optimum and still get bad ping
Pls come to Nashville Google pls
Take it to Detroit
lol I pay $50 for 64down and 4.3up not bad.
Bring to Wisconsin and Iowa
miami florida please.
Dallas Texas pls Google fiber I'll waste 70 n have everything running great
This is the future please google come to Canada and force our shit providers to fucking burn it is so bad up here it's not even funny
LOL did he just say comcast is competitive.
HAIL GOOGLE FIBER
guy on the right looks like serial killer
