Google to test ulta high-speed broadband network - Rob - 2010-02-10
CNN Wrote:Google testing super-fast broadband network
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Google said Wednesday that it will start testing a new broadband network that will deliver speeds of more than 100 times faster than traditional broadband.
The Internet search giant is aiming to link up with states and municipalities to build and test a fiber-optic network that will offer download speeds of about 1 gigabit per second, according to a blog post on the company's Web site. Google said that speed would be fast enough to download a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes.
The company said the network would offer wire-line service directly to consumers' homes at "a competitive price." The network will be built by Google, but consumers will be able to choose their service provider. Google expects the test will provide its service to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.
"Our long-term vision is to see a better, faster Internet," said Minnie Ingersoll, product manager of Google's high-speed broadband initiative. "When everyone had dial up, we couldn't imagine what broadband speeds would be like. By increasing speeds by 100 times faster than what's offered today, we can create opportunities for services that we won't even be able to envision now."
What. 1GB speeds. WHAT.

Google know has... search engine, YouTube, a phone, an internet browser.... and now they're an ISP? The Quillian Games' Dystopian society is starting to sound familiar.

It's only a matter of time, technically, running at rates of Terabytes is possible too, but it'd be super expensive.

Well, 1 gigabit...not gigabyte.
In any case, Google's stepping closer to world domination.

Anyway, 1gb/s is utterly stupid. That's faster than Europe's standards nowadays. O.o

Correct. But it -should- cost less than 4 years of Collage.

Oh no.
Let's hope its the same price as Comcast internet at the moment.
Only way i'll switch is if its near the same range. ;-;

So around how long would it take to download maplestory with this?

like 10 minutes? I may have misunderstood, but If it is really 1gb/s then like 2 seconds

If you get 1 gigabit per second... and maplestory is ~1.5gigabytes?
About a minute and a half at most.

So over a corse of events google has changed the world from a 1 hour maplestory download to a 1 minute download.
GG Windows and mac but you are about to be killed by google.
