Free internet? am I the only person who read this? And it's as good as most standard plans right now. (Yeah, there is a 300$ installation fee, but still... 300$ for a guaranteed minimum 7 years free internet..)

How can they provide it so cheaply? $70/month is around how much a 20mbps connection would be here in the twin cities, and they're offering fifty times that.

And free 5 mbps? that's what we have in my family and it's around 40 or 50 bucks a month

true. but i feel it's more along the lines of "lets make everyone ditch their provider in kansas city so we can test our internet out." Unless they can sustain those prices, which i would love.

Its a good idea but I don't see it happening anytime soon. And if it does happen, I see it just localized in big cities.

I work for a phone company and while I don't have an exact number, I know installing an entire fiber network is insanely expensive.

Welcome to new zealand, the land of sheep, small ski fields, and data caps
http://www.telecom.co.nz/digital-content/assets/html/75.html
we dont have speed plans, we have data plans, One cable connected to the rest of the world owned 70% by 1 company, no fibre optic internet, A monopoly from telecom, and shitty prices on ski's!

I love google, theyre such a good company to everybody and the only company that doesnt screw everybody over. Google are awesome.

It's safe to say that Google is going to absolutely DESTROY the service providers in any cities they roll this out in.

Im guessing they did it on purpose for some reason thats beyond me but so far the preregistration map is covering the most ghetto areas around here. literally there are 2 ghettos, one in KCK and one in KCMO, they aren't anywhere near each other but so far those are the areas that have been pre approved. anyway Im going to check out their "Fiber Space" some time this week

Not sure everyone understands this but Google is offering 1 Gigabit per second internet, not 1 Gigabyte per second. 1 bit is 0.125 bytes, so 1 gigabit is 125 megabytes.
