    A nearby city was in the running once but it was dropped from the running. high speed Internet is finally becoming at least a little more popular in stone areas. There are a couple companies building that in my area and I got $60 gigabit last year.

    And if it did, they’d shut it down three weeks after you had it installed. Adopting new Google products is a non-starter.

  “Google” not as much of a selling point anymore? Or are they gonna sell it off?

    Google has been using just “G” as a prefix for product names almost as long as it has existed. Remember Gmail?

    • NightAuthor@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      But didn’t it start as gmail? Gsuite started like that, idk what else there is. But transitioning from Google X to GX I don’t think is something they’ve done much if at all.

    Itll be in the dust bin 2 years down the road so yeah no one trusts google products to be long term.

      To be entirely honest I thought it had been already until just recently when I saw they wanted to expand to 10G networking. They’ve almost entirely stopped rolling out to new areas from what I can tell

  GFiber sounds like one of those fly by night companies on Amazon.

      😭 I almost thought you somehow embedded an amazon listing into your post LOL

      There are some keywords missing like ultra durable armored sleeve and maybe localized to fit the language with a literal translation.
      For bonus points show something like badly photoshopped lightnings between phone and cable.

      (Aliexpress shows “Kirsche MX kompatibel Schalter” for Cherry MX conpatible switches. Not wrong but a bit too literal)

  I mean, Google spies on you. Why would you let them be your isp too?

    Do you think your current ISP isn’t? Or your credit card company?

  How much is it? Yesterday I saw an offer from a local provider offering 500Mb/s for 15 euro per month.

  source

  • nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And the best deal available to me, in a major US metropolitan area, within 2-5km of the highway, is 100Mb/s down, 5Mb/s up, for $60/mo. On copper, with no fiber options available.

    We just don’t get those kinds of prices here for a couple reasons. America is just so big, we largely live in single family homes, finally every company has to build its own infrastructure. Connecting all those individual houses is expensive. So either companies won’t or if they do the cost of the Internet access is expensive too.

    • ExLisper@linux.community ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m pretty sure it’s not because the country is big. It’s because couple of companies have effective monopoly and there’s no competition. A lot of municipal fibre projects got killed by lobbying and lawsuits and even big companies like Google struggle to enter the market because existing laws protect the monopoly. The government could provide the central infrastructure like it does in Europe but it’s corrupt and not really interested in building infrastructure any more.

      I think I read somewhere that the US government gave some grants/subsidies to ISPs to build their fiber network? Surely this should translate to cheaper price?
