Seriously. Google messed up REALLY bad on this one. It would really difficult for many customers to come up with a contingency plan under 2 months.
Google should NEVER be trusted with other infrastructure projects going further. Infrastructure isn't some forprofit companies trial-and-error playground, it is about stability and promise to the local residents, it is not about money and certainly not an experiment.

The disruption their action might bring is much more than cancelling their internet service products. Can't really joke about their words that 'the last 2 months are on us', like it is something worthy of cheering up..

Customers can call the local cable company and be up and running in a matter of a few days. Might cost a bit more and be somewhat slower, but it's hardly an existential crisis.
