Google Fiber’s biggest failure: ISP will turn service off in Louisville
- deadmetheny 8y agoIt's finally happened, Google has brought their near-complete lack of user support and eventual abandonment of services to the real world.
- smileysteve 8y agoI'm pretty sure that At&t beat them to the punch when they oversubscribed pppoe servers with dsl. Or more recently, when the only hardwire internet you can get has 384kbps up stream.
- jjdusk 8y agoPeople are using Google for their ISP? Wow...
- smileysteve 8y agoIt's a valid option when the others are also content and advertising products, or trying to sell your data. All with known horrible service.
- beatgammit 8y agoAnd that's why I stick with my crappy municipal fiber. I pay more for less bandwidth vs competitors, but my internet is very consistent (speed tests show that I'm getting exactly the advertised speed) and my city is small enough that I doubt they're competent enough to care about my data. I mean, they're a fiber service, yet their residential speeds max out at 30mbit/sec or something, so mistakes were made in building out the infrastructure (they _must_ be using a ton of base 100 cables/switches for the last mile).
