Though I'd have the option of getting Google Fiber if I only lived across the street, I still consider it a win, because after Time Warner was bought by Charter which was bought by Spectrum, they're now starting to compete with speed offerings. Before Spectrum came into town, Time Warner was "forced" to give me 300Mb/s at my 100Mb/s price simply because the average in the area was significantly higher after most of the city switched to Google Fiber. It made me laugh, thinking they had this capacity all the time but didn't even offer it residentially. I have the option of using Spectrum @ 940Mbs down now; which probably would have never happened if Google Fiber didn't infiltrate my city.
