Google’s Lightning-fast Fiber Network Now Live in Kansas City - archiemuchey

Google is introduction its ultra-fast 1Gb-per-second base Google Character Internet and Fiber TV service today in Kansas Metropolis.

Google announced unlikely hebdomad that the gigabit network was coming, and here it is. Lucky residents of Kansas Urban center, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, butt pre-register in real time at the Google Fiber web site and rally their neighbors to pre-register to get Google Fiber (Google is building the network by demand).

Google Fiber promises to be 100 times faster than the average American broadband travel rapidly. To put this into perspective, using Google Fiber is kind of corresponding driving from New York City to San Francisco in under a half hour.

The Google Fiber network box that comes with the service has four 1Gb Ethernet ports, but you can besides connect your computers over Wi-Fi at 360Mb per second. The network box also offers a gigabit firewall.

Google is offering three plans. The Gigabit + TV service is $120 a month, with a $300 construction tip waived if you sign a two-year contract. The Fiber TV service offers a large selection of net and some cable length channels in HD, including Showtime and Starz. Along with the parcel, Google is throwing in a relinquish Nexus 7 (which isn't easy to find) and a TV box that records equal to 500 hours and eight shows at erstwhile happening its two terabytes of storage.

If you entirely want the Internet service, that'll run you $70 a month, again with the waived $300 grammatical construction fee with contract.

A disembarrass plan is likewise offered, but limits you to 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speeds, and requires the $300 construction fee. This might work if you can't afford the gigabit service, since the average Internet speed is only 5.8Mbps anyway, just it's difficult to renounce a Robert William Service that's 100 times faster.

Imagine: instantaneous downloads, video uploading in the nictate of an eye, and immediate file joint.

Google also suggests Google Vulcanized fiber customers pick up a Chromebook, such as the refreshed Samsung Chromebook Series 5. With an Internet connection that fast, the sixpenny web-centric laptop may stimulate a lot more sense.

Google Fiber is expected to be installed to "fiberhoods" hierarchical in the top 50% of those pre-registered by middle-2013. I, for one, am hoping Google will soon flap out to more cities (Newly York, delight!).
