Cities Campaigning to Get Google Fiber Net Access

"It may not be 1GB/s"

I believe that is supposed to be 1Gb/s, as 1GB/s is 1 Gigabyte per second.

Hard drive != Solid State Drive

Hard drive's peak at 100+MB/s, though the averages are lower. So in order for you to max out this thing, you'd really need a Solid State Disk.

BaHH Here in denmark we have had 20 Mbit down and up for a long time for the neat price of 300 dkk (About 55$ us) a month...
Google give me a speed bump even tho we dont really need it...

Cudos to the lucky americans who will get it, shame on the stupid etempts to lure google into giving the city wide speed bumps, all this attention is just free PR

Will I be able to play Crysis multiplayer using this type of connection?

I've got a netgear switch with a 1Gbps fiber GBIC. I would easily saturate the gigabit connection provided at times, running 2 servers and 2 gaming machines, 4-10 VMs at any one time. I have access to everything from the internet.

To be able to have LAN speeds to that from just about anywhere, plus some latency would be fantastic.

Who has just one hard drive anymore...? I've got 15 attached to my network.
