Yeah I bet that the incumbents are immediately going to offer better rates to lock in the customers most likely to change providers.

- saryant 11y agoSome parts of San Antonio have had a choice of cable providers for some time now, TWC and the local competitor Grande. If you lived in those areas, service was actually pretty good. I I think I paid $35/month for 50mbps service from Grande when I lived in Olmos Park.
- mgirdley 11y agoTWC is already scared and improving their service. It's great. Thank you, google.
- josephjrobison 11y agoIn Austin - offered 50mb from Time Warner for $35/mo - then automatically upgraded to 200mb. The fiberhood is coming in a month so yes they're getting generous.
- jrockway 11y agoTo be fair, Time Warner also upgraded us in NYC from 50Mbps to 300Mbps for the same price, and we don't have Google Fiber in NYC.
- josephjrobison 11y agoAhh gotcha - correlation without causation then, I suppose?
- mkaziz 11y agoYeesh, I pay $50 to Comcast for 25mbps in northside Chicago. :(
