Google Fiber

Hey WPC, If Google fiber was available in you town. Would you cancel your current internet provider for Google fiber?

Doubtful ...
Xfinity is too ingrained into this household.

In a heartbeat!

A question would be whether to get the free 5Mbps service or the $70/month 1Gbps service. I'm pretty sure I'd pay for 1Gbps.

Definitely! I hate TWC's internet that is only good when you use Ethernet. And I don't really have any opinions toward any of Google's phones it OS's either.

The need for speed :excited:

Through my cable company I have the following options for download speeds:

2 Mbps
15 Mbps
30 Mbps
50 Mbps

I have the 15 Mbps option. That as fast as I need for my house. I could pay more to get a faster speed, but I don't need it. 15 Mbps is as fast as I need for cruising the net or watching online movies. I have LTE on my phone that has 30 Mbps, but 3G (6 Mbps) is fine for my phone.

I agree, my wife pays this bill as i am afraid to look at it for fear of causing me to go into cardiac arrest. But there is no way she will switch.

Absolutely. I have Comcast, the company just voted as the worst company in America (again). Even though my service with Comcast has been mostly OK, I'd switch if it were to become available (it won't. I live too far from any metro area to ever see fiber at my doorstep).
