Google Fiber for Communities: Think big with a gig

I've set up an appointment with the manager of our apartment complex. I'm going to try to convince him to sponsor a request for Google internet access to the complex.

We might be able to work out a deal. Who knows. *crosses fingers*

Gigabit... to the ISP. Then you're still massively oversubscribed.

And limited by the bandwidth on the other end. I've got 60Mbps at the office, but I rarely get more than 10 from a single counterparty.
