Awesome, ty

I will say this:  I have 50 mbps internet, and a rare few servers can take even 10% advantage of the available bandwidth.

 

The appeal to me is future proofing, as you said, and also for people who have multiple users. I currently pay for 20 mbps in order to actually get 12 mpbs, but when anyone else in my house is streaming something which is most of the time, I actually get 1-6 mbps.

1 gigabit per second with no bandwidth cap for $80.

Comcast's best available deal is 1/10th the speed for $90 dollars and 300GB bandwidth cap (which will be used within a few weeks if you have a family streaming Netflix daily)

Wow. Thanks for the info

That map is completely unofficial, not done by Google. I'd be surprised if a wealthy area like Weddington/Waxhaw didn't get Google Fiber for instance.

Projected completion date: 2020

How much will it cost?

Will probably be the same. That free internet for $300 should get you hot and bothered. That's less than a year of internet for me.

I gotta sit my ass on AT&T U-Verse here in GSO while y'all get 100 times faster internet? I'm jealous.

Looking at the map linked from above...I'm like a mile out...ouch!

 

My hope is that they wouldn't stop at an arbitrary line in a neighborhood.    I mean if this is a 5 year plan, then they aught to be able to expand across the entire metro area?  I live in Highland Creek, and the map is only 40% in my area...so close!
