Mayor Swims With Sharks to Attact Google Fiber

[d-block]

i'd much rather have the opportunity to get comcast than what i can get. the fastest where i live is 6/512, and that is at&t's fastest.

Nope my city hasn't done anything , Utah doesn't like to have faster internet , because the internet is full of sinners....

I hate where I live, I really do.

'Cause I've got gigabit ethernet,
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye

I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing

'Cause I've got gigabit ethernet!

I am stuck with comcast or at&t at my current residence, three blocks from Michigan State University's campus.

Called verizon, didn't care how much I'd have to pay - of course it isn't offered in my area.

16/2 here is more than my parents pay for 50/(not sure upload) an hour's drive away

It's highly unlikely to see that happening in Europe, right? I mean the hole Google Fiber thing...

I'd tattoo Google on my ass for gigabit fibre.
Or move to Japan. Last I checked, as long as you live in the right area, gigabit up/down for ~$60/month. I'd have a RAID10 setup just so my storage medium isn't the bottleneck.
Guess I'll just stick to paying $50/month for 15/1 net. =(

I live in Duluth, so yes we want it! Really hope we get it, it would open up a ton of jobs that we are in desperate need of.

Asheville does not need to pull stunts to attract Google. Our history of innovation is solid and our creativity already firmly in place. Asheville wants Google, but we do not need it to progress. We have fiber, we have local ISP's, we have state-of-the-art networks and cutting edge developers. We are kicking during a historic recession.

It's difficult to choose a community for the Google Fiber project when zany stunts are involved.

To make Google's decision easier, we launched a fun city-selection tool that lets you rank your top 5 choices for Google Fiber (Topeka, Sarasota and Duluth are in the running!). Go to vote at http://zoomprospector.com/googlefiber. While this quiz is for fun and selects communities that have performed some of the funniest promotions, the data is all real.
