mattlehrer: Google Fiber shows its potential with 151Mbps download speeds This is from the home of someone lucky enough to live in the area where Google is testing out their own fiber to the home product. The obvious question now is, if Google can do this, why aren’t network operators banging down the company’s door to get involved and roll this out everywhere. Yes, there’s big investment involved, but these companies are kidding themselves if they think waiting and dealing with a lack of bandwidth in the future is going to work for them. Whoever jumps first and starts investing in these fiber-to-the-home initiatives is going to be rewarded with a lot of new customers in years to come. Not if wireless is able to provide these or similar speeds in the next ten to twenty years.
