with my fiber I can get 60+ MBPS from a single steam connection, while streaming 1080p to multiple sources, while watching twitch, while playing an online game.
So, depending on what you do, there is usefulness to the gig service.
edit: also, i dont really hae anything to say about phone or tv service via google, as i do not have google fiber, but different gig service.

I know I'm super late to the party, but I just got Google Fiber a couple weeks back. I also built a new computer so had to re-download my Steam games.
The 4-5 GB games would finish downloading way before the DL speeds could even peak. I think I may have reached a peak at 99.4 MBPS on a 9GB game. I am not sure, though, because that was towards the latter part of of the DL.
Our kids are going to be beyond spoiled. I mean, personally, I feel like, in some respects, this is almost as much of a jump for me as was going from dial up to cable. In the very near future, it will be almost incomprehensible that downloading large files used to take a little bit of patience.
I never had any issues with XFINITY, but this is obviously some next level shit. I mean I was downloading games from Steam in under a minute.
