John, my AT&T fiber costs me $80 a month, which is pretty close to what Google Fiber is charging in neighborhoods a half mile from me ($70, I think).
The difference is that you will put it in your office. They may even have to run a special line for you, since it is probably not rolled out all over that area. Mine is just one line in a whole part of town that they wired. And since this is a residence, I get the consumer rate. They treat businesses very different. I wonder if Google Fiber will discriminate between consumers and businesses as well. I haven’t heard. [Interesting: I saw them running Google Fiber in the neighborhood around where my daughter goes to high school (Atherton). They were totally avoiding the issue with the telephone poles by actually micro-trenching it right into the asphalt of the street. I never heard of that before. A few weeks later they had people on the street corners in that neighborhood passing out Google brochures. Supposedly they are going to build out from the three neighborhoods they have started in, so perhaps I’ll have dual gigabit connections sometime in the next year. #FirstWorldProblems. ::-) ] Jonathan > On Nov 2, 2017, at 8:13 PM, John Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > > So, I ask what 1 gig down would cost…take a wild guess, think of something > outside our Solar system….$645.00 A MONTH…boy do they love their fiber…. -- Jonathan Fletcher [email protected] Kentuckiana FileMaker Developers Group Next Meeting: 11/28/17 _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: [email protected] Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
