Google Fiber offers 8 Gbps in Austin for half the price. They're also piloting 20 Gbps in some areas.[0] I wished it were available where I live because the only maximum options currently available are 1 Gbps through either GVEC (fiber) or Spectrum (cable). Spectrum is slow and has outages occasionally. GVEC lacks useful information on their website and hides pricing.

- mysteria 2y agoAnything beyond 10 Gbps is basically the datacenter world and the switches, NICs, etc. are going to be real expensive. I wonder if their terms allow hosting on that 20Gbps plan as that's probably the only real use for it.
- trashcan 2y agoThey also refuse to do installs in new builds in many neighborhoods. I have lived sandwiched between two addresses that have Google Fiber, and they have refused to come out to install the last 25 feet of cable to my house for 5 years. So I'm paying $100/mo for crappy Spectrum internet that goes down all the time. I've reached out to them several times to come out or do a survey, or run the existing fiber through already existing conduit and they just refuse.
