I've never heard of this "level 5" business, but it sounds important.

Never going to happen. It will require them spending more money for a product than they would ever profit from. I'm exchange they get taxpayer dollars without ever having to prove they did a damn thing.

Stop buying into this dumb shit. It's happening a dozen times before! Remember when Google was going to free all the common folk from the tyranny of Comcast 20 years ago?

How many of you are on cheap Google fiber now?

I'm on cheap Google Fiber. It's been $70/mo since we first got it about 6-7 years ago. Before that, AT&T and Time Warner had a duopoly in my area, and getting to tell them to go fuck themselves was the sweetest day of my life. They are awful businesses who treat their staff and customers like shit while delivering inferior service. I've rarely had a problem with Google Fiber, and if there's downtime, they give you a prorated discount. Customer service is really easy to access, also, vs waiting on hold or in person in line with the other ISPs.
