A threat, how? Everyone I know believes it's about speed/cost, not throttling. Comcast is charging you $60/month for 10mbps, then Google rolls into town offering 1Gbps for $70/month? That's even impressive on log scale! Notice the reaction to G. Fiber from Comcast etc. has been free speed bumps.
Google Fiber is certainly not a bargain play, but it is hardly the "luxury option", with an accompanied luxury tax.
