Google has today formally announced its Google Fiber Internet service, causing those living in either Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS to jump for joy while making everyone else discover a new level of jealousy. While the initial packages themselves are priced well, it's the talk of "Gigabit" that's most exciting.

I am just thinking about the math here. If you had a connection like that, and Steam's servers cooperated, you'd be able to download all 30GB of Max Payne 3 in 4 minutes flat.

Damn.

Dang. Too bad Joe Montana no longer plays for the Chiefs.

Then again, you could watch the San Francisco 49ers online...

Hmm...

Yeah, if you don't mind being ass-raped and pay $300/yr for a mere four months of sport!

If you have any understanding of the worldwide fibre network, you just smile, wave and think "Yeah, right..."

The first time I read the Google Fiber headline my first thought was "Not another laxative!"

Lucky KC people.
