Google Fiber is a contended service, just like every other retail ISP. They're not doing anything particularly different.
Here's the average transfer rate on their 1 Gbps headline product:

Yes, 190 Mbps. Fast, but still contended.
- eurleif 13y agoIs it possible that's more to do with people testing over WiFi than with the speed of Google Fiber itself? It's hard to tell a lot about the data, since they only provide averages.
- asandweech 13y agoI think that average includes the free tier of Google Fiber which if I remember correctly is 5 mbps.
- arebop 13y agoI've heard that Google Fiber has inspired other ISPs in its service areas to initiate high-speed service. I wanted to see this contention though so I clicked around in speedtest.net a bit. Can you point out some contention, because I didn't actually find it [http://www.speedtest.net/local/kansas-city-mo http://www.speedtest.net/local/kansas-city-mo].
