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. |

One more thing... In the days we were on TWC my phone updates always lagged the action in sports by 45 seconds to a minute, since getting Google Fiber my phone updates now happen before the the action happens on the TV.
Odd... One has to wonder how that dealy might now be happening... |

I've had mine since Friday. The install went sorta smoothly, but so far I am enjoying having it.
On the first day I had some lag between the remote and the box, and a couple of reboots, but none since then. I really like the "previous" button on this, and how it works ( I was concerned about losing the "last 4" option from DirecTV). The internet is obviously quite a bit faster, though we don't do much other than browse on our phones in our household. Maybe we will do the Netflix thing at some point. I also like how I can stream YouTube from my phone right to the TV. That's a fun little option that'll get used a lot ("Hey, honey, look at this idiot!"). Actually, the phone app is great overall, and also fun to screw with the family when I'm not in the room. |

Perhaps TWC was just better than I thought... |

My DirecTV remote is super laggy. Even turning on the TV takes forever.

Seems like pretty much every day I lose internet connectivity for a minute or so before it gets reestablished. Kind of starting to get annoying.

I've contacted their tech support, but perhaps I should call them back out so they can see it for themselves. Bit most folks are saying the remote lag is happening, so I'm not sure it was my installer, none of us had the same installer (that I know of).

Is that to Google's on-net Ookla server or a random public one? |

GF is aware of the issue, some other peeps in the neighborhood are seeing the same things (loaded Multiping), and GF is working the issue. It's all good, I just had to convince them that we're not nuts.
