Think they would pick a place where the tornados aren't going to uproot their efforts!

My city was a finalist for this. It's painful.

Gigabit Internet!

Connected to a 10 meg home network. :)

A lot of people have been confusing gigabit with gigabyte thinking they can pirate an HD feature length porn every second.

1 gigabit = 128 megabytes

lol, yeah... Time to update your router and switches.

True 128MB/s... Which is more than 10x faster than the fiber connection we have at my office and 20x faster than what I have at home. I'll take it... Only issue at this point is a lot of servers on the net can't serve data that fast.

So jealous. I'll never see anything like this in my neck of the woods.

I was being somewhat tongue in cheek, but there are lot of home and small office networks out there that can't properly utilize the available bandwidth that exist now. Servers can't serve it, and clients can't receive it fast enough.

A few years ago they built a google office in Ladson, SC....I believe that the plan was to use that city as a pilot, but the Economy took a hit, and they shut that project down
