$10 bucks out the window

So you register, pay your ten bucks, and... your 'fiberhood' (cute) isn't selected because not enough people paid.

Does Google then give you your $10 back?

I don't speak for the company.. but they seemed to have wired the ENTIRE "CITY" for fiber.. the decision NOT to (eventually) get to you even for the "FREE" service is a bad PR on google's part.. no dobut, they'll keep bombarding you with the upsell for the 7 years.. even as you're paying the $25 for one year ($300 fee in 12 installments) for 5/1 internet. Maybe they should have cut the price to $120 and tell the freeloaders to pay $10 a month.. they'd definitely get alot more flies with that honey. I think the $10 also goes towards any svc fee.. ie the $300 fee bcomes $290...

"If your fiberhood doesn't meet its pre-registration goal, we can't commit to providing service to your area. Users who pre-registered will get their $10 fee back."

1) You pay the $10 and your fibrehood (or landlord) doesn't get a build-out: $10 refunded

2) You pay the $10, your fibrehood does get the build, and you choose not to subscribe: $10 lost

3) You pay the $10, your fibrehood does get the build, you subscribe: $10 service credit on first bill
