Google announced its plans to get into the Internet Service Provider business earlier this year and advertised connection speeds up to 1000 Mbps for $70 per month--a price commonly tacked-on to much, much slower connections. The first lucky neighbourhood in Kansas City is already getting its service installed and turned-on and one Google Fiber customer has commented stating that he is already receiving speeds of 600-700 Mbps.
This is a massive leap forward for the Internet--Google has been making strides to make strong, fast connections available and affordable. Currently, customers in the area can get a 5 Mbps connection for free for seven years.
