It's really quite amazing the prices they're offering for such fast speeds.
$70/month for 1000 Mbit/s internet is rather absurd.

While I doubt it'll ever come where I currently live, I love the idea and am glad that the U.S. is finally getting up with other developed countries concerning Internet speed, even if it is just in a few select places at this point.

Catching up? Pretty soon Kansas City is going to blow Korea out of the water in terms of speed. FIOS already offers up to 300 Mbit/s (albeit at stupid high prices). Originally Posted by Decagon

Great! I always wanted a huge multimillion dollar company to have access to my browser history so that it can tune it's add system on youtube, google and whatnot even more towards "my needs"

Yea, i think "catching up" is still correct. Kansas city is smaller than Korea, and is also only a tiny portion of the "U.S.", so as far as the "U.S." on average goes... Originally Posted by Laize

Fuck off, you never had any privacy on the internet in the first place, literally everything you do on the internet is tracked by your ISP. Originally Posted by I-Thalos-I

Not every ISP does this. Some smaller ones really don't give two shits. Originally Posted by Courierrawr

They can do it without being your ISP. It's called "tracking cookies". Originally Posted by I-Thalos-I

Maybe... but for 1000 Mbit/s internet I'll let them have access to my medical records. Originally Posted by I-Thalos-I

Besides I'm pretty sure it's illegal to do what you're suggesting.
Google is a pretty damn good company.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but it's downright adorable you think that doesn't already happen. Originally Posted by I-Thalos-I

Sarcasm on the internet
The is there for a reason.
I don't particularly care about anonymity, I just wanted to add something to the topic that may fuel the discussion rather than leaving a blank statement.
Well, don't care isn't actually true when I think about it, the faster /b/tards, anon, lulzsec or what they are called lose their anonymity the better. \o/
Anyway! I'm out for the night! Enjoy your stay ^_°Last edited by I-Thalos-I; 2012-11-20 at 04:06 AM. Reason: sleeping

How is that different then other 'multimillion dollar companies' tracking all your purchases via credit card/debit card/bank loans/credit score/social security number and then sending you customized rebate/mail/coupons tailored to what they think you'll need next? The last US election proved the existence of very comprehensive computer programs that can predict the likelihood you'll vote for someone based of where you live, what you buy and stuff.

OT: Really curious how fast this google internet will expand if proof of concept shows it to be financially and technically viable.

There's more to net sarcasm than sticking a random smiley face at the base of a post. Everything else you wrote didn't sound sarcastic at all, but very much like an atypical tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. :P Originally Posted by I-Thalos-I

...if you were meant to be sarcastic... using Looooong words that are italicized also help a ton. Placing smileys RIGHT after a particular sentence also helps convey this ideology. ^_^
