Provo, Utah Third City Getting Google Fiber - Tom's Hardware


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Fiber

Google Fiber is a project to build an experimental broadband internet network infrastructure using fiber-optic communication. The service will offer three options. These include a free broadband internet option, a 1 Gbps internet option for $70 per month and a version that includes television service for $120 per month. The internet service includes 1 terabyte of Google Drive service and the television service includes a 2 terabyte DVR recorder in addition to the Google Drive service. The DVR will record up to eight live television shows simultaneously. The television options also includes a Nexus 7 tablet that will act as a remote control for the system. In addition, television service will also stream live program content on iPad and Android tablet computers.

This makes Bell or Videotron look like a 56K connection lol. How are they going to compete with this? We can't get this technology fast enough.
 
Bell Fibe FTTH/FTTB can go up to 2.4 Gbps. Unless you have a server, i don't see why you would need more than 150 mbps ...

Bell Fibe could do the same thing for customer with FTTH but there's no demand for those speeds.

J'espère qu'il n'y a pas de demande au prix que bell et videotron chargent.
Si je me fit aux prix de google, mon forfait actuel de tv + internet 15mb me coute plus cher que celui de google avec 1gbps.
Si je fais un calcul simple et vite,à 50$ par mois pour 15mb avec videotron, ça en couterait 333$ par mois juste d'internet pour avoir 1gps vs 70$ avec google..
 
I don't think Google has the money to build its own network all over the USA. IIRC it will cost over $1 trillion to do it.
 
It'll be a google labs thing.

I remember a while back there being an issue about it coming into canada (federal regulations thing, something about backbone companies being in contract with the government) but I did alos hear a rumor about 3 months agaon about google looking for Fiber engineers in ottawa.

yes, this thing is fast, but it's WAY too fast for a single computer. it does about 960mbs/second down and about 920mbs/sec up. I's meant for a network, and will throttle harddrive and ssd write speeds.

Honestly I'd love for it to come here, but I doubt it will.

you can already get gb fiber networks here, but it's a LOT more expensive than what google offers (I think it's between 750-1200$ a month depending on providors?) t's not so bad if you split it out in a residential building.
