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. |

That's just nasty.
I'm still not sure why KC hasn't marketed google fiber connection to tech firms and startups. The low overhead, decent commutes, and just out of control bandwidth could have spurred serious levels of interest in the city. That ship has passed though. |

My GF install was last Thursday and everything went smooth. I get the full 1gbps when I hook directly to the network box, but I don't have any devices that have better than wireless-g so I'm only seeing ~300mbps on laptops and tablets and such. And I have my old PS3 hardwired to the network box. I did the network test on it and got 100kbps up & down with a super short ping LOL. I haven't had much time to play on it yet though.

Apparently, from the neighborhood Facebook page, we are the #3 neighborhood in Lee's Summit right now, as far as number of signups. Hopefully we can jump ahead, because this wait is gonna be hard.

Me too. But I found the "status" page a little confusing. I guess you don't know how many more sign-ups you need until your at 50 (where the "+" is dropped of the 50+ still being needed), or less...
And last, if you get enough people to sign-up (which you don't know until whatever number they've set us at do or less [you don't know if the initial number was 80 or 5,392...]), do they come through and do the same thing the the AT&T GigaPower folks are doing right now? |
