I'd love to see that rolled out where malcolm lives, just so I could watch him explode and kill everyone.

I cry every time I remember I have 384kbps uplink. Hell, that's what I had 10 YEARS AGO.

I thought Google rolled out fiber in St, Louis as a test market a long time ago.

Link to that speed test.

I assume the connection is more likely 60/60 or something symmetrical, but people are just hiding in their offices downloading porn all day.

I'm with Malcolm on the merits of Google. I use Ghostery to block all the Google evil on the web. They are the devil.

I love Google. Google Music, Android, Gmail, Chrome, Google Fiber, Keep, AutoAwesome, etc, etc... Imagine a world of only Apple, Microsoft, and Yahoo. The Internet would be 3-5 years more retarded.

I had no real problem with Google. Until they married the federal government. When most every state and every country in Europe was suing Google for their "accidental" scooping up of emails and passwords with their Google mobiles, but OUR federal government wasn't all over them... I knew they were in bed together.
