[SleepComa]

Ooh how I miss google fiber. Had it when I lived in KC. Moved to the country and all I have is hughesnet..fml! lol.

 

[SalvadorZombie]

in my area it's either comcast or DSL. so i will get fucked

Everything I just mentioned is *right now*. The more that Google builds infrastructure, the better they get at it. They've only owned Webpass for a year and they already have it in 7 cities. The way that they provide Webpass service, I could see another dozen cities available in *one year*, maybe even less. It's already in Chicago, SF, San Diego, Seattle, Boston, and Miami. Major metro areas. And this is disregarding cities that are *themselves* creating their own public services. Ajit Pai screwed himself and his Verizon buddies - 17 states have filed lawsuits against the FCC since yesterday, and all they've done is bring this matter into the public eye, making it a much larger concern (which is a good thing). Expect the next couple of years to show significant growth.

At least the part 2 Surveycomet came through. Looking like today is going to suck..

 

[SalvadorZombie]

I thought google said they decided to stop expanding upon this at some point?

On Google Fiber? I haven't heard that. I know that they're legendarily picky about what cities they expand into, which is why Los Angeles *wasn't* one of the first cities (they wanted a massive list of requirements met before they would come in). LA is going to be late to the party big time, but they'll still be getting Google Fiber.

Side note - one of the best cities in regards to internet is Chattanooga, TN. They were one of the first to create one of their own local internet services. They also have a $70/month gigabit service. Federal agencies, at the behest of communications companies (Verizon, Spectrum/Charter, Comcast, etc) actually got legislation passed in some areas that bars cities from creating their own services (which makes no sense, but w/e), but some have actually *ignored* that (somehow legally) and created their own.

Again, these are the beginning steps into this next stage of internet. By trying to get rid of net neutrality, Ajit Pai made sure to show just how vital basic internet service is, and how it essentially is a utility. Just like Trump himself, this will actually end up being good overall, despite seeming very bad right now.

On Google Fiber?

Yeah, but it was awhile ago that I was reading up on it just because comcast pisses me off so much. I'm generally on the phone with them once a week.

 

[micky]

Any idea how to get PC helper to display on the worker site?

Has MTS projected earnings been added yet or is that coming Monday? I can't remember.

 

[ccmet121]

I pay 150 a month for cable and 250/20 internet. People that have Xfinity should look at the details of their bill though. I found out I was being charged 10 dollars a month for a phone service I never had. Got those charges credited back to me.

 

[SalvadorZombie]

Yeah, but it was awhile ago that I was reading up on it just because comcast pisses me off so much. I'm generally on the phone with them once a week.

I'd give suggestions, but it's pretty much the same as everything I just said - keep up on what's coming where, keep looking to see if alternatives are quietly making themselves available, and capitalize. At this point, all of the cable companies have given up all rights to courtesy. The sooner they're relegated to AM radio status, the better (and frankly, that's an insult to AM radio).
