Google Fiber has been a thing for a whileOriginally Posted by Haysey
FUCKING HELLHow...how is this even going to work for most of America?! Are Google going to install and start charging for their own internet?
. As a side note, Peoria, Illinois was a candidate for Google Fiber in 2010 (we lost).
Cable has had a monopoly in this area since the 1970's; we finally got fiber in 2014, but hey, it's not available in most of Peoria because of territory clauses or some such BS. The reason I explain all of this is because the situation here is not even close to unique as far as the United States. If you don't live in a "major" city, or lucky enough to live in an area that was chosen for FIOS or Google Fiber, you're kind of screwed. Or you spend $200 a month for Internet.
