    Webpass used to be great. The instant it became Google Fiber, it seemed to be totally abandoned; no rollout to new buildings/neighborhoods, no speed improvements (most locations still top out at 1Gbps and local favorite Sonic has rolled out 10Gbps fiber throughout the Bay Area), and prices are stubbornly high ($70/mo for 1Gbps versus $40 from competitors). Oh, and there’s still no IPv6.

    I’m sure Astound will be even worse but Google has been an awful steward of this service.

      i always wondered if fiber is going anywhere, like most google venture it fails poorly, because they couldnt expand, i suspect waymo will go the same way.

      we currently have sonic for like 10 years and it was great. and there are other GSP ISP? that is equal or greater than fiber. ISP being a potential new revenue source, is something google dint capatalize on, likely because of AI taking all thier resources on developing it?
