Honestly, what would I do with that much speed?
Why download when streaming would leave no/minimal traces.....

One thing I DON'T want is this stuff in HD. It was bad enough seeing bumps and blemishes on news anchors faces once they went HD......

But I digress....

As it turns out, Raleigh seems to be ahead of the game. If only we didn't have pliant politicians wedded to the welfare of business.

While the city courts Google Fiber’s high-speed broadband service, Raleigh is also busy laying 125 miles of fiber-optic broadband that could boost Internet speeds for city government, libraries and schools – regardless of whether Google lands in the Triangle.

Raleigh’s service, however, would be limited by a 2011 state law backed by cable and phone companies that prevents cities from offering business and residential Internet service.

To re-state, please go to this site and do the "check address" protocol at the top right. The more interest they see from our area is apparently helpful. https://fiber.google.com/newcities/?...m_campaign=tri
