Just got notification that San Diego is on a list of cities they're considering doing Google Fiber at.
On one hand I'm excited - super-duper-mega-bandwidth!!! Woot Woot!!!
On the other hand- a bigger bill than my beaten down to bare bones internet cable/solution.
I currently have "start tv" (very basic cable - all in standard def). I also have "standard internet" - 5 meg down, 1 meg up (on average.... but not that good during the early evening.)
I pay $45 for this. In January they are encrypting everything so I'll have to pay $2.50 more for a cable card for my tivo (and will only have OTA on the other tv's.)
Fortunately, we've got direct line of site to the tv antennas so OTA is good for network channels.
Google Fiber will be $130 for the 1Gig + tv.
If I just get internet it's $70/month.
The plus is that my kids would stop telling me I need to upgrade the internet. (To which I reply - get a job and move out if you want to pay the bills. LOL.)
Anyone here have google fiber?
