In huge news today Google has declared that they will be starting their own ISP in select locations of the USA that will be fiber and will run at speeds of 1Gbps.Their goal is to try to force other major American ISP's to upgrade their services and also to see what users will do with such insane speeds. Google also plans on starting some ultra high bandwidth services for these 1Gbps users to try to see how well they will work and how users will take to it. Google also plans on allowing other companies to join in on their fiber network so that other ISP's can compete using the same fiber.

  • Anyone who wants to use "the internet" has to move to Kansas now. LOL!

  • i hope my town gets it because Otelco sucks too much dick, i mean its like dial up through an ethernet cord

  • I don't want to sound like that guy but its megabyte not megabit

    1024 megabytes in a gigabyte

    8192 megabits in a gigabyte

    Two totally different things

  • Fucking 1Gbps?? I dont even have 1mbps...

  • That's awesome news man!

    I live in Australia and our Government is trying to rollout a Fibre Optics project too, it will enable speeds up to 100 Mbps, that doesn't sound like alot comparing that to what you guys are gonna get :)

    Unfortunately there only setting it up for businesses in Tasmania, Victoria & New South Wales at present, it's costing our Goverment alot to do this too.

    The Internet speed I receive at my place is only 12 Mbps.

  • Slow down on the rockstars.. I know you are knocking Comcast directly but you might wanna get all the facts before you blast em. LOL @ FioS Verizon put in all that Fiber and then sold a majority of their landline & net to Frontier because they didnt do as well as they thought they would.

    this is a clip from the cable conference and if you aren't interested in all the other new stuff the Gbps Demo starts @ 14:30.

    Also 16Mbps is now the base Comcast speed.

  • Dude, I can't even get 1 megabit per second, yep.

  • just got 100mbit cable in australia, melbourne. downloads at 11mb/s (megabytes) pretty fast good enough for me :P

    the servers need to speed up first and allow me to download their files at that speed. the only way to get to 11mb/s is to do simultaneous downloads
