So not office just yet but Joun sounds like I to will soon be able to say my town has google fiber but also doubtful that I will be close enough to get it at my house. Only hope that as close as I am to Galardia where some of the basketball players live may mean Google branches out NW enough to also cover my house.

To Dashl, so what are the chances this gets you to move to Okc when the fiber is here.

Bulwark and I are just outside the intended Google fiber footprint in Austin. But we do have TWC trying to fight off competition so they seem more willing to give more bandwidth for less.

If it does turn out to be true in hindsight the internet providers have been much more forthcoming on upgrading speeds for free which makes me wonder if the ISPs have been getting wind of this possibility happening for a while now.

But even if we aren't able directly will still like the added competition.

Will have to wait a little bit longer at the very least as OKC was put on the potential list.

Yeah, I called TWC, and they upgraded me to a 200 line for the price of a 15.

OKC scares me.
