Google threatened to bring fiber to my home years ago. Well, they still haven't, but doing so apparently motivated AT&T to do so. I've now had reliable 1 Gbps service for $70/month since Jan 2017, no price increases. They even started giving me free access to HBO awhile back. I keep thinking they've just somehow forgotten about my account. I assume I'll lose free HBO once the Warner sell-off is complete.
Aside, but I was recently helping my mother-in-law get Internet. She's in a place serviced by Sonic, but only over AT&T copper. Their pricing was not great. I ended up discovering Xfininty (Comcast) pre-paid. $45/month for 10'ish/50'ish Mbps service which is plenty for her, no data cap, no dealing with Comcast customer retention when she wants to cancel. This is not a well advertised service and I came across it only by accident.

- ocdtrekkie 5y agoI think "Google threatened to bring Fiber but never did and everyone else lowered their prices" is best case for everyone. People get reasonably priced high speed Internet, and nobody has to suffer being a Google product.
