Google Makes 'Google Fiber' Official

[Rob Williams]

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.

Read the rest of our post and then discuss it here!

Wow...I cannot wait to see where this company goes in the next 10 years. Google in space?

The Big Red Machine is now a Big Red Machine of Jealousy.

"a data hungry family" in Kansas City? Well. Ok. I drove thru the Kansas cities one night & there are a lot of lights for ... 15 minutes.

 

[OriginalJoeCool]

Looks like I'm moving to Kansas City, whichever one.

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.

 

[Big Red Machine]

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

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

Hmm...

 

[Rob Williams]

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

 

[Big Red Machine]

Ooh, there are ways to do it sans said anal rape...

:whistles:

 

[Glider]

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

 

[DarkStarr]

Hehehe.... good thing I live in KC

 

[madmat]

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

Lucky KC people.
