IowaCowboy Want to go back to Iowa Premium join:2010-10-16 Springfield, MA Reviews: ·Comcast ·Verizon Broadban..	Here's the viable neighborhoods where I live In Springfield, MA Google would probably deploy fiber in Indian Orchard, Pine Point, Sixteen Acres, Forest Park, East Forest Park, and East Springfield as those are the more viable neighborhoods and Verizon would probably deploy FiOS in those areas as well (if they ever restart FiOS deployments).

Lou75 join:2009-02-05 New York, NY	Nice deployment chart Why can't Verizon create a similar chart for their FIOS deployment in NYC? Hey Verizon, can you hear me now?

Dominokat Hi Premium join:2002-08-06 Boothbay, ME kudos:2 1 edit	How about Boothbay? We only have about 5500 people here. It should not take too much to wire this town!

decifal join:2007-03-10 Bon Aqua, TN kudos:1 Reviews: ·Verizon Broadban..	well Well.. least someone is getting fiber.. Keeps Kansas city on the list of potential "move to " locations being they have allowed actual fiber competition to arrive... TN we as far as I know only have chattanooga with their plan, but i'm sure ATT/Comcast are in the process of having it become illegal.. For the consumers best interest of course that is...

NotTheMama What Would Earl Do? join:2012-12-06	But have you seen all of the other broadband headlines? I'd say Google Fiber is in the top 10 in more ways than one. Really... who doesn't want 1gbps symmetrical for the same price as 1/20th of that speed (if you're lucky)? And that's not even the best part of the deal. I don't have to be able to get it in order to see it as "good news". -- "...but ya doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"

tmc8080 join:2004-04-24 Brooklyn, NY Reviews: ·ooma ·Optimum Online ·Verizon FiOS	pick a fight Until this squeezes into sensitive markets of AT&T, Comcast and Verizon.. GF will have very little impact to the industry-- a customer base of 8 million customers or more for example (per state). Some reasonable battleground states (for broadband).. North Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Then Michigan, Georgia, Illinois, etc.

kpfx join:2005-10-28 San Antonio, TX	reply to NotTheMama Re: Nice deployment chart But there's the rub. Do I want 1 Gbps? Heck yeah. But do I want to pay an extra $240 a year when my 20 Mbps cable modem is working great for my needs? Not really.... Why? Until we see the Killer Internet App that needs that kind of speed, I don't see why I should pay for this "experiment". I'm a huge Google fan, but this is just numbers for bragging rights. Show me why I need that speed and how it will make my life better, then you can take my money. And that's something I think Google could do... but there hasn't been any hint of it yet.

sandman_1 join:2011-04-23 11111	But that too is the "rub". How can anything new be invented for what the incumbant ISPs want to do, which is to stagnant? People have such short memories of what broadband did to the Internet when they first started offering years ago. Look at how rich in content the Internet is now as it has matured. I say bring the Gbps and let smart people figure out neat things to do with it.

NotTheMama What Would Earl Do? join:2012-12-06	reply to kpfx Sorry... not following you there on the "extra" $240 (does that mean you're currently paying $50/mo?). The prices in my area for FiOS at about the typical speed offered (not the absolute "slowest", nor the fastest--I'm paying close to $60 and it's about the cheapest price available (the last time I checked), and it's nowhere near even 50mbps for download and even less close for upload) are about the same price that Google Fiber is priced for the 1gbps; there's little "extra" to speak of. But that's just FiOS. The "cable" providers around here (Comcast & Cox) are worse. Anyway, as I said, that isn't the best part of the deal: I place more value in having an "unrestrained" network connection. The speed alone may be worth it (or not--that's an individual choice); the attitude behind it definitely is as far as I'm concerned (and I'm not a fan of Google). -- "...but ya doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"

silbaco join:2009-08-03 USA	reply to sandman_1 People said that back in the early 2000's when dial-up dominated as the main source of internet. It didn't stop anything from being invented. Developers and inventors will move forward just like they always have, regardless of incumbents.

silbaco join:2009-08-03 USA	reply to NotTheMama Can you host a server on Google Fiber? Nope. Then it is not unrestrained. The most popular internet packages purchased remain the cheapest tiers. Not the fastest, even in markets that are fairly competitive and reasonably priced. At $70 per month, Google fiber is not going to change that when the national average is ~$47 per month and people complain that is too high.
