At little off-topic, but in a similar vein I had been waiting and hoping for Google Fiber to show up in our neighborhood. I was mostly of the mindset that Google, of all ISPs, would be the most Net Neutrality-friendly provider. Meanwhile, AT&T showed up first with their gigabit fiber offering, and I signed up for it. Google still hasn’t come through despite earlier promises, and I’m increasingly glad they haven’t. I’m not suggesting that AT&T is perfect. They’ve had some significant shortcomings in the privacy area themselves. I’m simply saying that I no longer view Google in the simplistic terms I once did. They are a complicated organization with seemingly conflicting priorities. For the same reason, I’ve also switched away from using their 8.8.8.8 DNS. My wife is on Duck Duck Go, but I haven’t been able to make that leap myself (yet).
