Google Fiber: Highly Disruptive and Blazing Fast Internet Service launched @ $70/month in Kansas City (Video)

Google is now moving into the ISP space.  It has unveiled its service in Kansas City area – @ $70/month – which is 100 times faster than the other ISPs.  It enables you to download high-def feature films in under a minute!

Well, subscribers will also receive a complimentary Nexus 7 tablet, which doubles as the television’s remote control.

The company’s blog says the following:

No more buffering. No more loading. No more waiting. Gigabit speeds will get rid of these pesky, archaic problems and open up new opportunities for the web. Imagine: instantaneous sharing; truly global education; medical appointments with 3D imaging; even new industries that we haven’t even dreamed of, powered by a gig.

The connections for the Fiber Optics are being put up now, and one can catch the latest on the Google Fiber Blog.  Here is what it says of the latest update:

The title says it all! After months of building a brand new Fiber infrastructure, we’re excited to announce that today we’re officially starting to connect homes in Kansas City to Google Fiber.

We’ve been working in a few homes over the last few weeks to make sure we can deliver a great experience, and along the way we’ve thought a lot about what “great” might mean. We want it to take the amount of time we (and you!) think it’s going to take. We want to be able to explain what we’re doing in easy to understand language, so it makes sense to you and it’s not just tech jargon! And of course we’re aiming for “one and done”—one visit, everything working when we leave your home.

There are two stages to getting you connected. First, we’ll pull your Fiber from the street to the side of your house; we’ve already done this for several houses in Hanover Heights. Then we’ll get in touch with you to schedule the second stage, your in-home installation. We’ve put together a short video to help you understand what to expect.
