Has anyone seen this?
http://fiber.google.com/about/It's only going to start in Kansas City but it could (and should) expand. I'm pretty sure fiber optic internet connections are pretty common in Europe for prices way cheaper than what we pay for our crap here in the States. I could be wrong on that though.
Google Fiber offers 3 plans, they have "Free Internet" which you pay a $300 fee ($25 over 12mo) and then you have internet free forever. That plan runs at current speeds we're used to.
For 70/mo they offer 1GB speed plan.
The winner though is for 120/mo you get the gigabyte internet, HD TV with a lot of channels. Missing a few key channels like ESPN and NBA TV but it has NFL and MLB Network. Also comes with a free Galaxy Nexus which is basically your remote.
The DVR has a 2TB storage and you can record 8 shows at once. It sounds really cool. Obviously being only in one city right now and with Google's typical awkward approach to releasing something really awesome that would hit off right away.
