and on the same day AT&T sent an email saying they were raising the price of my slow DSL for no reason whatsoever.
(Their email really did say "There will be no interruption to your Internet service because of this change, and you will continue to enjoy the same great features, including: " [blank])

There will be no interruption to your Internet service because of this change, and you will continue to enjoy the same great features, including:repeated price hikes for as long as we can get away with it.

Yeah Shells, you really need to switch over to TWC. They don't bother you with pesky things like rate increases and notice of other changes. Full-on customer service, their rate hikes are transparent. [edit: The sarcasm was directed at TWC, not at any posters here....]
I so hope the Google Fiber goes through. I'm not a huge consumer of high-speed and band-width, so the $300, one-time fee (for at least 7 years) would be great for me.
It got me wondering though, I wonder what the product life cycle is? I wonder if 1Gb/sec will be enough in say 5, maybe 10 years? I wonder if wired service will even be in existence? Kinda thinking along the lines of an adapted Moore's Law kinda of theory...
Honestly, unless the FCC frees up a ton of spectrum, I don't see wireless service taking over completely. There is just not enough available bandwidth to service everyone. Especially as more and more people consume video and other high bandwidth services. Plus Google, Time Warner, etc still need to deliver cable service, which in spite of "cord cutting" I just don't see going away in the next 15 years, they will still get their money's worth out of the install.

The only rate is $70 for 1gbps, feel its kind of high. Would be nice if they offered just $50
Instead of waiting on yet another company to take advantage of us, why not spend our efforts lobbying the legislature to overturn the law prohibiting cities from implementing their own fiber network (such as Wilson's Greenlight network)?
