Nice, my porn-tube sites won't have any buffer times. I'm down.

So do they still take your money even if you dont get enough votes? If they do Google are going to make a killing on this vote system.

[blob 1985]

You pay for the service, not the votes.

Too bad it'll never be available in Wisconsin.

Nobody cares about Wisconsin.

It says you pay for pre-registration, then if you dont get enough your area wont be selected. I'm just wondering if they get refunded or what?

no, the 2nd most registered area will get it 2nd, and so on. it's not just "one area will get it, sorry about the rest of you"

Nobody cares about Wisconsin.

If you don't get selected you get refunded.

Gigabit's a little silly. It reminds me of when I had 7mbps back in 2000. 0% of websites could take advantage of it. Really the only point to it is if you want to use Google's shitty cloud storage service Drive. Since it's on their network, you'd probably get close to the full speeds. Even at 25mbps, I only get full speeds on the occasional torrent and NNTP.

id have 1000mbps over my shitty 150kbps connection any day

[Dojima 7619]

More is always better, but I'm perfectly happy with 25mbps. Now if they decide to make lower tier speeds for cheaper, like 100mbps for $20/mo, I'd be all over that.

[iAlwaysFail 799]

I'd be torrenting all day everyday with this kind of speeds.. I only get 2-5mbps over here
