The channel line up sucks.

I don't think I even have any google fibers, so I'm out

The pre-registration site was working prior to it being announced in the livestream, and fiber wasn't available in my neighborhood on the edge of KCMO proper.

They're actually planning on building it out on a demand basis, so hopefully it expands like a virus.

This looks awesome. I hope it spreads fast.

Gimme ESPN and I'm sold on the tv package. I can do without most other channels.

Time Warner deserves an untimely, tragic death.
