As someone that lives in a condo and can't get a dish, and doesn't have UVerse in my area, I am dying for a cheaper alternative to Time Warner. Google Fiber would be great! I can't explain it. There's some sort of weird chemical reaction that happens when you combine cat food, beer, and glue.

In Milwaukee when you factor in the aggravation of talking to them and lack of customer service they give you it IS more expensive!

Their TV lineup is less than stellar and I'll be curious to see how the customer service is from a provider perspective. IPTV is the next wave, no doubt, and there will be a lot of eyes on how they fare against U-Verse. On a local level, TDS is starting to take orders for their IPTV service....I'm getting pretty stoked about it. Having fiber to your house does rule, no doubt, but the average house won't come close to needing a Gig of bandwidth. Google is hoping people will hear that and figure "bigger, better, faster!" and come running. In reality, 25M is more than enough bandwidth to have 4 concurrent HD feeds going and have bandwidth leftover for easy browsing. I don't know about you, but don't even have 4 TVs in my house, much less all 4 on and viewing separate channels at the same time. "Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath."
