In like one city. My internet is advertised as 50mb. Speed test says 12

In a few cities, but it was subsidized in part.

They started out in Kansas and are working on branching out, pretty sure there's a few cities now

Had it in Austin and then had it immediately disconnected due to excessive torrent downloading.

Time Warner is the safest bet this decade.

What the fuck else do you use a 1Gb/s connection for

Apparently they approve of harems that all use facebook and YouTube and Netflix all at the same time.

Otherwise, I honestly don't know why they bothered. Gigabit won't matter until you can stream VR games like OnLive used to offer, or Runecape VR

Like most things Jewgle does, they gave up on Fiber when they realized becoming a residential ISP is hard work that requires you deal with customers directly. As such, they've halted expanion, fired tthe CEO, and will probably sell off their infrastructure once they're legal obligations are fulfilled.

You had to pay $300 up front for the hook up. Which may or may not of been returned to the customer by possibly discounting your bill to the $300 amount.

Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight.

It's shit like this that makes everyone realize what a shithole America is.
I wouldn't be surprised if you need to bribe to stay classed as first world.

Only idiot is Google faggot. They don't know how to market their shit. See: Google Glass, Google Voice, Google Wallet, Inbox by Gmail, any Nexus device

I'm in the Kansas City area and have been torrenting like a madman since getting fiber and nothing has ever happened. I'm used to downloading and streaming a million things at once with no slowdowns at this point with that it'd be hard to switch back to Time Warner honestly.
