5 Points needs to get on this Google Fiber train.
Google Fiber coming to Irvine
- Thread starter SubSolar
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
By the way anyone have outages of At&t fiber niw
AT&T is pathetic IMHO. I have frequent problems and chronically experience issues where one of two forced DNS servers is unresponsive or an AT&T router 5 hops up has. 300+ ms response or just doesnt respond.
Personal prefence. I think if you started adding a la carte everything , it adds up pretty fast . The conneceted phone is also nice to have as a fallback when WiFi is patchy or cell signal is weak . And live sports is a convenience I don?t want to give up (like the us open last week) . Again , may not workfor everyone , but hits the sweet spot for me.
The internet speed is like the engine in cars . Once you get used to the extra power / torque , hard to go back
I'm curious what applications you use that require such high bandwidth (ie. gigabit)? I recently upped mine from 100->300Mbit and really don't notice any practical difference except when I back-up to my cloud service. Did your latency improve to the point where you can see a difference when web browsing?

But seriously, when you have multiple devices on at the same time w no lag whatsoever , then you realize the value . Also if you store things on the cloud and are uploading / downloading . And gaming, as eyephone pointed out .
What's your ping time with gigabit internet service? This is the biggest factor for gaming, not really bandwidth (after a certain minimum). Also, multiple devices with no lag is probably due to your router and proper configuration of your router.
Could be for a different Network Operator or for additional capacity with the existing Network Operator.

Wow that's awesome to hear. However, I do love ATT Fiber.
WE live in the groves at Orchard Hills. We tried Cox fiber for a day and hated it. Variable speeds, slow ping.
No matter throughout the day I get 2 ping with a download speed of about 125 mbps and an upload speed of 124.
We pay for Internet 100 @ 40 dollars a month with att fiber. ;D

The cox Giga blast is pretty good . I was skeptical of their claim but test after test on wired connection showed me 950-975 mbps. Didn?t seem that much more expensive as well when bundled . Mine is around $245 / pm , all you can eat telephone , cable , internet included , with 3 set top boxes

DirecTV Now has live sports and TV.
The DVR is limited because you can't Chromecast them but if you have an Amazon device (or Apple TV), that allows you to watch recorded shows on your TV.
We got DirecTV dish for $25 a month but that will go away in a year so we'll see what's available then. Cox TV is way overpriced compared to what's out there... it didn't use to be but if you add HBO (which is free to AT&T subscribers) or some other premium channels, using something other than Cox TV will save you significant money.

A good buddy of mine is working on the strategic side of the Google Fiber business. It seems like they have pretty big plans for expansion in the works as they are growing their team out of the Irvine office.
Plus Stonegate HOA is currently in negotiation around legal terms with Google to lay new fiber. Cypress Village might follow if all goes well with Stonegate.
