Google Fiber Construction Begins in the Triangle (Cary, Micro: housing, transit)

[Gearcrasher]

I wonder if that is finishing up some "loose ends" of their Morrisville rollout or are they really going to complete Cary.

Did you have AT&T's Gigapower available in your neighborhood as well? Just wondering if they're only doing neighborhoods without that option.

They're piloting a new trenching method called microtrenching that keeps most work in the street and away from utilities in a new neighborhood they just started so still new stuff in Cary.

We have AT&T fiber, not sure if it Gigapower. Does that help?

This is what they are doing, but man is it loud!

I'm in W Cary (right across the street from Morrisville in fact), and we have Google Fiber. Loving it so far. Less money, more stuff.

About a year ago, AT&T fiber contractors hit a gas line near where I live. I suspect this happened as they were building the fiber connection to my neighborhood. Construction stopped then, never resumed, and now all the surrounding neighborhoods have AT&T Fiber and we don't.

Has anybody had similar experiences? I've tried getting in touch with AT&T but they have made their group responsible for planning and implementing fiber pretty much inaccessible to the public.

I'm in an older section of Cary, not too far from downtown, and I don't think we're going to be getting Goog fiber anytime, let alone anytime soon. No confirmation, just a hunch.

I got the door hanger back in December that they were going to run fiber on my street and then they never came and did it . At least I was able to get AT&T fiber.

Glad I got ATT and didn't wait for google to deliver. Maybe will switch later, but ATT gets the win out of the gates for getting to market first w a strong product.
