Google Fiber's 34 Potential Cities
posted in
TF2 General Discussion
Amaryllis"Austin, Texas, is another impending Google Fiber city. Just the announcement of Google’s plans caused Time-Warner Cable to increase its Internet speed sixfold at no increase in cost."
This is what really irritates me -- the fact that they COULD increase speeds, but will not do so unless competition makes them.
I don't understand this, in the UK the big network companies are working harder to make their network quicker. We get fibre optic for like £20+ here with some places.
I think a difference though is the network companies get government funding and infrastructure if they invest enough themselves.

AmaryllisIn my area Comcast recently (to add insult to injury) imposed data caps of 300 gbs per month with no option for more data no matter what tier of internet service you have. If you go over you allotment, you are charged $10 for an extra 50 gbs of data. Data which, if you don't use it all, does not roll over to the next month.
in australia a plan that good doesn't even exist. 10 dollars for 50 gb? why are you even complaining, that's amazing.

It's terrible compared to many European countries, as well as Japan and South Korea.
Not saying you don't have worse internet, but why should we be content?

I realize Australia isn't exactly an internet Mecca, but my complaint stems from the fact that Comcast doesn't have to have data caps in the first place. It's a money grab tactic and that's why I'm complaining. A tactic, as seen by their fatass wallets, doesn't need to be done.
