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. |

Nope, they're just trenching now, but the sales guy came knocking, but will be back I'm sure. So I'm stunned that they're knocking and Google Fiber signups for my neighborhood are "3/2015", so it looks like they're in a bit of a race.
That being said, I'm not sure what the sign-up to delivery date time is (if enough people sign up), but AT&T's GigaPower is still toned better than what I'm getting today from TWC, is $30 cheaper per month for the Internet/TV/Phone bundle, so if I'm not sure when Google Fiber will "be in my house" I might be inclined to try the AT&T offering if they don't demand some many-year commitment. Plus, I'm not sure the common folks in our neighborhood know what to ask when Mr. AT&T rolls up to their door. Knowing that pretty-much everybody at AT&T is a slimy whore slut, I'm sure they'll tell them they are Google fiber, get them to sign-up (thinking it's Google Fiber), and Google pass us up because too few people signed-up. Yeah, tinfoil hat = on!!! So yeah, I want Google Fiber even if they don't offer real phones (!!!!!!!!!!!), but some things have to happen, but for now it looks like GigaPower (and their 8Mbps up shit) is the for-sure thing. |

Looks like you took that Mb/mb comment to the heart.. should probably change the batteries on your sarcasm meter. I'm probably older than you.. but I did get my masters @ DeVry (lucky guess). I'm not saying 'anything' is better than Cisco, but Juniper definitely is. There is a reason why almost every major ISP provider uses them as their layer 3/MPLS core. Redundancy built into their routing engines & switch fabric not to mention their operating system is light years more robust than IOS. But I don't know much about that shit.. only been in telco for about 15 years, so I'm still learning. Damn kids keep eating up all my free time, otherwise I'd cee cee eye E by now. |

So it's all good, I'm sure my network engineering dick isn't the biggest in this room, but I've been doing it for a while and I'm OK with a mistake ot three. Not to worry, we're still friends. I'm the friendliest guy on this board, you'll come to know that.. |

Now you've got just the network/storage box and the TV boxes that can act as wireless bridges and have ethernet on the back. One is running a Microcell and the other is plugged into my PS4 (feel like I just posted this). |

It appears I may be operating on old info. The new boxes are using MoCA 2.0 so it can pull rates faster than 200Mbps.
** edit** Oh and I did the same thing before I had mine installed at the old place. Had all these grand plans, then realized that no matter what when you've got a gig on the side of your house everything is fast as hell. |
