How much it that costing? I don't think it's available around my place.

Right now it's only both Kansas Cities, and Provo UT. It's expanding into the KC suburbs and Austin TX starting next year.

There's a bigger discussion about this 'somewhere else'

Please come back. We miss you.

Anyway, it's going to be $125/mo. $120 base plan for gigabit internet + TV and $5 for 2nd TV box. The package includes a Nexus 7 table to work as the TV remote. (There's also normal remotes and the remote app is available to download for iPhone and Android) They also don't "lease" you the same POS hardware for eternity. If we paid for the boxes up front, the rate would be lower. Otherwise we'll pay for them through the initial 2 year term, and when we renew, our rate will be lower because we own the equipment.

The in-house portion of the install is scheduled for Dec 19 @ 5pm. It's not a 4+ hour window. The installer will be here at 5. Probably a little early based on the experience we had setting my mother in law up with the 5Mbit "free" plan. ($300 install financed over 12 months = free 5 Mbit internet for 7 years)

And the point of that much bandwidth?

That sounds great, I wonder when it will be available in my area. I’m actually getting a pretty good deal right now with cable but it will go up in a year or two. Would be nice to have an alternative to Comcast and Dish.

We miss ya Paul.

That is awesome Jeff! I know a number of friends who are excited in Austin. I'm sure it will be in Dallas sooner or later. Looking forward to getting some personal comparisons against FiOS. We have been really happy with our FiOS, but Google is faster and for less, they just need some more channels.
