I'm not sure if this pushes competitors or not. Apparently nothing is done with the internet speed at our area. I live in Anaheim, and I only have 2 options: AT&T (50Mbps max), and Spectrum (100Mbps+). The up speed is still very slow, the down speed is always horrible for both, somewhere around 10Mbps. I can't do multiple video calls at the same time. It's been like this for 10+ years.
Recently I have Tmobile 5G home option and it's a bit better with the up speed, 20-40Mbps. The download speed is flaky, not consistent, somewhere from 50Mbps-250Mbps.
There has never been any fiber option, I wish this exists here, even with 1Gbps option is like heaven.
- MarkSweep 3y agoThere is GFiber in other parts of Orange County, so maybe it will eventually reach Anaheim: https://fiber.google.com/cities/orangecounty/ https://fiber.google.com/cities/orangecounty/
- sdo72 3y agoI doubt very much, GFiber has been around here long in those cities (limited area) too, but for some reason, it has never tried to expand into other cities nearby. I think Google's goal is to try to make the market more competitive, it doesn't try to take over other ISPs.
- Volundr 3y agoThis is a frustration for me as well. Here in Boise, I've got CenturyLink 80/40, and that was a sweetheart deal gained by going through our CenturyLink Rep at work (my neighbors get half that). Technically I can get "up to a gig" from Sparklight, but with no IPv6, the same upload speed, a data cap, and 4-5x the cost.
