Thread: Google ISP

Yeah I just read about this, it sounds very interesting. I wonder when Google will start going to other planets?

Looks like it.

I'm pretty gullable and since it looks so serious, I'm almost believing it but it doesn't make any sense that you would put a cable in your toilet, flush and that it be brought somewhere for google to plug it in somwhere. I refuse to be that gullable. There, i don't believe it. Oh, I feel good!

Damn, go Google. *buys massive quantities of Google stock*

Anyway,
From what I've heard from people across the pond,
there's a serious lack of competition in US broadband services
often with customers having only a single ISP choice
This means that ISP's have absolutely no incentive to improve services or reduce costs, leading to expensive but lacking service
(I don't know how true this is for major cities, but I've heard it's quite bad in more rural areas)

I think this is Google's way of tackling that
(after all, their core business relies on people having reliable net connections)
