Not sure if I'd say they are "enjoying" it.
I don't think Google really wants to be in the ISP business, I think they just felt that moving into it would be the best way to stimulate the existing ISPs to raise bandwidth and lower prices (on the premise that as an Internet ad company, the more Internet people consume the better Google does).
Which has worked, but only hyper-locally (eg. Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T customers in areas served by Google Fiber get much better deals from those carriers pre-Google Fiber, but the rest of us get just as fucked as always).
