Speaking of Internet speeds, check out what Austin, TX is receiving:

"Google announced Tuesday that they’re bringing Google Fiber, the company’s gigabit Internet service and digital cable television package, to Austin, Texas, the second city to get the high-speed infrastructure.

During the joint Google Fiber and City of Austin conference call, Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell did get a few jabs in about being picked second, but is pleased by the news.

“For our economy it’s huge. It’s a huge tool in the toolbox for people that may be thinking about bringing business to our city,” the mayor said. “We don’t even know yet all the ways people of Austin will benefit.”..........

UT , tech and hospitals are first inline. Rumor has it residential will be about 100.00 a mo residential.

If you read the article, they are talking $120 for the Internet & TV Bundle and that is less than we pay for Centurylink and a DISH medium sized plan.

I said rumored...

I have been told it is to force TW and ATT to upgrade, time will tell.

TW?

My guess = Time Warner
