It wont be complete google owned network.Course it wont be complete google owned network at all they would have to be using like level 3 or somebody to get bandwidth transport to KC, MO and I like to see the live speeds soon as they get these customers hooked up for real and not some BS lie so they can get money from these customers. |

The Demand is insaneAs I said earlier, even if I had to wait the full 18 months I'd still be thrilled. |

Yep,I'd be all over this. I have an HTPC with a ceton cable card drv card here. Did that to bring down my cable bill. Still paying more then KC residents will pay with Google. Also with what they are using I wouldn't need the HTPC. Google come to NJ please! |

Google has their own backbone to interconnect their data centers and POPs which has a lot of peering and yes they do connect to Level3 for transit to reach the networks that they do not peer with. Every other ISP has to rely on peering and/or transit to get data to and from their networks. Even if they did not use their own backbone for commercial Internet access but just to access their DCs for Google services it isn't as if there is a shortage of commercial transit bandwidth from the wholesale providers in the city. |

Google FTWFinally an ISP that freely admits cost is all about the physical network, not about the bandwidth you use.
I would get this in a second. Who wouldn't pay $300 for 7 years of 5mbps internet??? Getting 1gbps connection is very temping for file transfering and using my companies VPN. Literally everything you connect to will be maxed out based on the other ends connection. |

Re: Geez! Just start knocking on doors...its only $10!Karl, that report is old. Over 30% of hoods are now registered but it has slowed down to a crawl. The problem is many many people in valid fiberhoods are not able to register due to a bug. I can't register, my entire building cannot. There are major problems with the registration site. Google has acknowledged this but no media is mentioning it.
I've also tried addresses in low income areas and not many work. And nearly all of my hood cannot register even though it's a valid fiberhood.
Karl needs to report the registration problem. No other media is addressing the registration problems in valid hoods. |

Moving to Kansas CityI'm seriously considering moving to Kansas City now. Before I'd never cared for the place and it wasn't even on my radar but this is a serious quality of life benefit the city is about to get.
Seems like it's turning into a high-tech city - the perfect place for people with computer science degrees. |

Servers are not SUPPORTED on most residential connections. On Google Fiber, they are NOT ALLOWED/PROHIBITED/etc.
There is a very big difference here. |

Every ISP states this but they never enforce it. I'd be surprised to see Google enforce this unless someone decides to open up the next Megaupload and host it right on their Google Fiber connection |

Excite@Home, ATTBI, ATT DSL, Comcast, TWC, Charter - just about every company i've ever paid for residential service has prohibited hosting servers.
At one point, ATTBI used to actively scan their network to search for HTTP servers... At the time their only offering was 1.5mbps down, and 128kbps up...
Typically, the part about hosting servers being prohibited in your contract is actually just an excuse for them to cancel your service if it becomes clear that you're using a cheap residential connection to run a profitable server hosting business. Otherwise, most companies dont want to bother with actually policing their network. |

Re: my only gripeI don't know how Google would enforce 'no servers'. If they do I suspect they would not limit outbound bandwidth but might limit the number of outbound connections on the uplink to a dozen or so concurrent. That would be reasonable as you could still use things like Orb or Playon for personal/family use. |

Every residential provider prohibits servers. The issue though is your computer is always a server on the internet, so it never made any sense.
As long as you are not running a high traffic business website then no one is going to care. |

with gigabit internet, there are many ways to make money (legally) other than trying to abuse the service with servers; to get your $70 worth..
it will be interesting to see what they do should someone try to share 'copyrighted cable-tv service over gigabit.. or to a social broadcasting site like ustream or justin.tv; consumer's might have their own take on how they want to interact with broadcast content.. this will be a problem for all content providers as the ISPs raise broadband speeds, particularly the upstream. |

Re: Geez! Just start knocking on doors...its only $10!You can track registrations here... » fiber.google.com/cities/ ··· er=checkNote the E and S side and downtown (N) are low - is because very few people can register due to a bug. I live in the section on the N edge of Green loop wrapping around a couple hoods where very few can register. Right now about 44/130 (33%) of valid fiberhoods are registered but its come to a near halt because few others are able to register. I've tried dozens of addresses in valid fiberhoods that don't work. Sent it to the KC Star and they are silent. |

As long as you are not running a high traffic business website then no one is going to care. I honestly think the real reason this is in most TOS is not just to limit network congestion but also limit angry phone calls. If someone hosted their business at home on a non business rated conenction and the service goes down they will be calling in complaining and crying about lost money. I have a feeling anybody with a really tech smart member of their WoW guild might want them to host the Vent/TS3/Mumble on a spare linux box though. |

Very rare. Obviously there will be small local anomalies to servers, but almost all dont allow them in their terms for residential. |

Re: It wont be complete google owned network.This is no different than any other business. ATT/VZN/Comcast/L3 all connect Google to the world, but that is their backbone divisions operating pretty much independent of their customer facing divisions. Much like how Apple is suing Samsung's phone division and competes with that division at the storefront. But their gadgets use parts from Samsung's chip fab and LCD panel divisions. |

My previous ISPs(Mediacom and AT&T and Comcast) all said that they would not support it, but it was allowed for personal use. This pretty much is in line with what you said about not making money on your internet connection for a server hosting business. |

Currently GoogleFiber-KC uses Level3 and XO. My bet is that Google's own ASN will be added into that mix around launch. |
