I live in a newish area. New enough that the house has fiber instead of copper. However, it wasn't until recently that AT&T started offering 1gbps service at $70/mo. Prior to that, AT&T offered 6mbps service implemented using DSL over fiber complete with a DSL modem. So I was stuck with Comcast. I like to think Google Fiber saying they were coming helped push AT&T into doing something with the fiber. For that, I've benefited from Google Fiber. To AT&T: WTF? You had nice fiber in the area for years and the best you could do was emulate POTS?! Better late than never I guess.
