Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds
crank0271@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoWasn’t Google Fiber available in like, one town in Kansas? So I suppose yes, it did increase the average speed, but by a very small amount.

Not quite. Google fiber did 2 things: 1) in any market thry entered, they forced an ante speed and 2) they provided a model that a bunch of local coops and/or municipal networks could follow (and did)
They are currently in 28 markets in the US.
