Google’s new venture Google Fiber
includes internet and telvision
services that rival all currentcompetition and it has finally
arrived on both sides of the
Kansas / Missouri state line. It’s
truly a game-changer that will
radically improve the way we
access our favorite fandoms via
the internet and TV.
You’re most likely currently
running on 10Mbps internet speed
at best, where as with Google Fiber
you’ll be seeing speeds of up to
1000Mbps, literally 100 times the
average U.S. speed. Where this
really comes into play for you TV
and movie fans is that you’ll be
able to instantly stream your
favorite movies and TV shows in
1080P (HD).!!
whoaa.. isnt that Amzing? :)
Imagine being able to download a
Blu-ray quality movie to your
tablet or laptop in less than 10
minutes, or Team Starkid being
able to upload their two-and-a-
half hour Very Potter Senior Year
in a matter of minutes as opposed
to waiting hours for the video to be
uploaded to YouTube. All of this
and more will be possible as
Google Fiber makes its way across
the U.S.
In addition to the high-speed
internet, Google is also premiering
their own TV service that will
provide you with a similar amount
of channels currently available
through your local cable provider.
The difference is, they’re offering
you a free Nexus 7 Tablet to
control your television’s cable box,
and will be giving you 1TB worth
of storage on Google Drive, their
new cloud storage system. Oh, and
did we mention they’ll give you a
storage box with 2TB of space for
all your recordings, which can
record up to eight shows
simultaneously?
Compare that to
your current setup, which is most
likely stuck at recording two shows
at a time, while storing maybe 10
movies or 20 tv shows before
throwing up the “need more
space” error.
Don’t get scared away, but the
initial construction fee of $300 is
required to get the fiber installed
in your home. After the
installation, there will be three
packages available to choose from.
As we stated, don’t worry too
much about the $300 bucks
because two of the options allow
you to completely waive the
upfront construction fee and the
other allows you to pay it over
time.
For $120 a month, the first is the
“Gigabit + TV” package, which
includes 1TB of storage, internet,
and loads of channels. This will
include major broadcast networks
and “hundreds of fiber
channels,“including on-demand
movies and TV shows.” Don’t get
too excited, as premium movie
channels will continue to cost us
an additional monthly fee. Google
is waiving the $300 construction
fee for new customers for a limited
time. So if you’re currently in
Kansas, be sure to check that out.
The second package is $70 per
month and is the “Gigabit-only”
package, which includes the
1000Mbps internet speeds and
1TB of cloud storage on Google
Drive, but none of the TV options
are included.
The third package that Google is
offering is pretty impressive, as
they’re offering “average
broadband speeds” for free. This
means you’ll be looking at 5Mbps
down and 1Mbps up, but this is
the option which requires you to
pay the construction fee of $300.
This can be paid upfront, or
through monthly payments over
time.
While Google sees this as
somewhat of an experiment as of
now, we’re looking forward to
seeing Google Fiber spread like
wildfire across the U.S. Has
anyone in the Kansas / Missouri
area already pre-registered for
Google Fiber? Know that the more
people that pre-register in your
area, the quicker it will arrive. So
pre-register at Google Fiber’s
website and be sure to tell your
friends!

Till we hope that Google Fiber will hit our Country soon!
