Thread: Google's 1Gb Internet is here!

So Google’s 1GB high speed fiber Internet is here. Google today announced that it was launching the fiber-optic broadband service in the US calling it “The Google Fiber”. The service will be offered for trail run to the residents of Stanford, California. Google also said that it signed an agreement with Stanford University which will enable it to build the high speed fiber optic network to the university’s residential subdivision which will allow about 850 homes housing staff and students to get connected.
Once connected residents are to get a blazing 1Gb per second high speed Internet which is 100 times faster than an average Internet connection. Google said that once the field trial goes well, Google will roll out the service and expand it. Our sources had said that Salt Lake City, Utah was one of the hot spots where Google will be introducing the service. This will let Google target a larger audience in a big city.

I wish I went to stanford right now.

I wonder what usage and tracking information you're obligated to give them for the privilege... shower cams maybe? ;)

heh who knows, but you could always use a vpn to keep all your traffic encrypted.

I never thought I'd be jealous of Stanford.

I tell you Google is taking over the world, they have so many things in the works it is amazing. That Google TV looks real nice.

I would sign up for this in a heartbeat, but probably be a while before I see it LOL

I wonder if you still get 1Gbps if you go thru VPN.

Thats amazing... I wished i lived in Ca

Hopefully NY will get it soon, also. LI will probably get it fairly quickly if it works.
