1 edit | Google you could have done a better presentation. I don't know about everyone else, but this makes me want to stab myself in the face. On the bright side, I guess they've dumbed this down as much as possible.
Although the likelihood of me moving to Kansas City seems to be increasing rather quickly. |

| Wonder how much all of this costs Verizon's FiOS has a fraction of these features and claims to cost quite a bit per home passed. I wonder what this will cost and I wonder if Google is selling the service as a loss leader and using advertising to make up the difference? |
|
| Price? And how much is this?
Also, I want it! |

| Show interest? google.com/fiber and raise your hand. 10$ bucks please. Go harass your neighbors if you want a fiberhood.
Man this is going to be funny seeing neighborhoods go ape over this trying to get installed. |

Re: Impressive pricing options Free for seven years if you pay the 300 installation fee? So you pay, if stretched out, 7$ a month for seven years? Nice! Plus the 120 for tv and internet? And a nexus tablet with a two year commit? Sounds pretty good to me! |

Re: Wonder how much all of this costs Think Data Mining and selling your info! |
|
| Ouch Just how bad does this make incumbent telcos and cablecos look?
This is an incredible product. One thing that should also be noted is that it appeared that there will not be any standard definition channels on Google Fiber TV.
Go get it, KC. No wonder Time Warner was terrified, 1Gbps/1Gbps $30 less than their 50/5 service. |

Re: Price? TV and 1gbps internet for $120.
1gbps internet for $70.
Install fee = $300 (waived if you sign for 2 years).
Not ready for the speed? get your house wired for $300 and get 5mpbs internet for 7 years at no cost.

The TV + Internet also appears to include a Nexus 7 Tablet as the remote. |

1 edit | TWC response Will be interesting to see how TWC responds. The areas of KCMO and KCK mentions are all TWC territory. I have TWC and in the area mentioned (midtown KCMO). Will be calling TWC soon and see what they'll offer to keep me (even though I'll dump them anyway).
Edit: TWC and ATT have made statements...

Madison, AL | Eh hem... Google's also offering a third package of 5 Mbps, 1 Mbps up for free for users who aren't quite ready to jump into the 1 Gbps pool. Users simply have to pay the $300 installation fee, which they can pay in one lump sum, or pay in $25 a month increments for the first year.
We'll assume that monitoring and selling your entire home's connectivity and usage data to interested parties comes free of charge. I would GLADLY give up my data usage history for FREE unmetered 5Mbps down/1Mbps up connectivity. As I've been quoted on another tech forum - Google can datamine my ass for all I care as long as they give me unmetered, unrestricted bandwidth in exchange.
Everyone has their price. |

Re: Impressive pricing options FREE 5mbps internet (dsl speed) is the FREE internet if you pre-pay the install fee and get the 1gbps installed later.
