Somebody's gotta have the inside scoop on Google Fiber launching tomorrow..??
https://fiber.google.com/savethedate/
Live broadcast over YouTube tomorrow. Anybody have any early news on this? Will it be available all over the Metro? How long will the waiting list be? Anybody know anything? I'm impatient. |

They have been one who sucks the peniss for generations. When I was a kid you couldn't even own a phone, it was illegal. ATT just rented them to you. I have some good stories of SW Bell and my ISP. Absolute bullshit.

I just booked my install appointment for next Thursday...
So does anyone have a suggestion for a good wireless-N router? Last edited by kepp; 02-27-2015 at 02:15 PM.. |

It's a 750, so it's not like you won't find a box at the store with 900 on it, but, for me, the Wireless Repeating function isn't just a want, it's a need. I like 5 bars, and my house wasn't Cat-5 wired, so it's a good solution and more stable than I had ever hoped for cheap gear. Last edited by GloryDayz; 02-27-2015 at 03:28 PM.. |

Know that your Google Fiber Network box that will be installed with your service has dual-band MIMO n wireless capabilities. Speed-wise its a ****ing beast that outperforms most routers. Plus 4 Gigabit LAN ports. There's no reason to buy an additional router, unless you need advanced router-specific functions like domain blacklisting. It does all the basic stuff like IP reservation, port forwarding, etc.

I'd caution against using a wireless repeater though, unless you absolutely must and can't get any connection otherwise. It causes dramatic drops in throughput just because of the required back and forth communication. Not to mention interference issues. If you get the Google TV service, you should need any repeaters anyway, as the Google TV boxes serve as wireless access points as well, greatly increasing wireless coverage.

It's been really awesome so far (meaning NOT the bottleneck), but could later. But if the cable boxes become that, that's all the better. Any links to how they want folks to setup their homes? |

I just got a new DOCSIS 3 Modem/Wi-fi router along with their premium service.
Im pulling 119 mbs download speed. Is that comparable to google Fiber?

The router in the family room always has it's wireless turned on. The main router has a hardwired button to easily turn wireless on/off on the main router because a wireless signal is rarely needed on that side of the house. works well because i turn on/off a wireless signal where ever and still have a strong signal throughout house. Don't have to worry about wireless repeater etc since the Daisy chain style makes it no hassle.

GF gives you 1Gbps (1024Mbps). The service you listed is 119 millibits per second.. which is pretty damn slow. Sorry, I'm a geek. Mbps = megs, mbps= millibits.

I'd hate to have a Gig up/down, but have my built-in wireless NIC limit me to 54Mbps. But hey, if I could get 54Mbps, I'd only shed a small tear about the BW I'm leaving unused. The laptop I'm n now has a Centrino Advanced-N 6200 wireless adapter, but I've never seen 300Mbps moving things around the house (when all devices are N-connected to the same router), and that sucks. So I think potential doesn't always mean it's going to happen. But with 20Mbps down and 1.5 up, I hardly cared... |
