  1. Why not start in the silicon valley where their home is? What the heck is in Kansas and Missouri? Do they even have computers? I live in the silicon valley and we're always getting the short end of the stick!

    I wonder what the bandwidth cap and throttling will be like.

    Will move for Gbps

    Right! Or... could it describe a process? Like, at a guess, first you build a central facility capable of handling the traffic and then, working outward, you hook up areas of the city, the region, the continent, the world? Nah. That'd make too much sense and has no implied witless criticism of American technical usage.

    This will hopefully put some pressure on the biggest rip off broadband company - Comcrap!

    I hope Google brings Comcast to their knees!
    Comcast wants $200 a month for 100meg speed in Michigan! What an "effing" joke!

    Because this relates in any way to the need for incredibly high speed residential internet connections?

    Wish they tested it around here, I'd actually use the bandwidth for worthwhile things.. if it's upload. It is also upload, right?
  7. yes-yes, I will **** comcast if they don't pull-out their limits because even with 100mbps you can run over 250GB because when I watch 720p or even 1080 videos (movies) online and their size is big. Ok, what is about families where there are more than 1 child and they plays, watch and so on. Example, a family with 5 people (mother, father and three children). Now, I will take children because they are active online. If one of them will spent like 1GB per 2 hour and the total dayily time is 8 hour than 4GB multiple by 3 and its equal to 12GB per day just for kids! Lets say parent sometimes watch movies with 1080p (one movies as I know is minimum 6GB or like that, however, 10GB is well! So, 10 movies a month is already 100GB plus 12Gb multiple by 30 = 360GB (360GB is already for three active kids). Lets say the parents do something else and lets give them 20GB for each. So, 100GB+40GB+360GB= 140GB+360GB=500GB is minimum with HD (360) movies) even without it, they have already passed the 250GB limit!

    ******* comcats and At&T.
