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. |

But all things being equal, had Time Warner upped to 300Mbps (up and down), and matched GF's rates, I'd have stayed. I know some of it was familiarity with ther setup, but beyond the raw sppeds I check every morning, I'm not sure I've seen anything with GF that's leaps and bounds better than TWC. Add to it that 99% of what I do on the Internet never touches more than 100Mbps, I'm not sure GF's speed shows beyand that every-morning speed test. Hell, they had freebe upgraded us to 60Mbps (when it was evident that GF was coming), and the things I do on the Internet were as good at that point as they are now with GF. And I telework at least 4 days a week, so I use me some Internet and VPN. And not offering a hard phone, while solved with Ooma, still took all the getting Ooma too. So there's that. So I love the speed, but we all know that few things on the Internet can use those speeds today. Beyond that the picture isn't any better, the PC-based offer sucks by comparison, the away from home experience isn't even a possibility with GF (not that it was killer with TWC, but there was something!), and the interface is going to take some getting used to. I guess I'm just trying to be honest and not put too much weight on the Gig aspect (since it's hard to really use functionally). Oh, and no picture-in-a-picture! LOL! |

No tablet, but the app is good, just get that on your phone and you can do a lot. Set DVR from anywhere, watch TV if you're on your home network, probably more that I don't really need or know about

That is good of them, I would ask about their latency guarantee or what latency numbers they have for that package.

The only thing I do not like about them is no AMC yet, and their on demand window I do not like how it functions. I am sure I am missing something though on making it more difficult to use. |

They did not. And they would only run one cable too. I think others reported that when theirs was installed they got the tablet and the installer would pretty-much run as many drops as they wanted.
