I’ve never heard of this “level 5” business, but it sounds important.
“We will have AI agents that run the network with no manual intervention.”
Sounds hard to believe.
When the machines rise up…
Never going to happen. It will require them spending more money for a product than they would ever profit from. I’m exchange they get taxpayer dollars without ever having to prove they did a damn thing.
Stop buying into this dumb shit. It’s happening a dozen times before! Remember when Google was going to free all the common folk from the tyranny of Comcast 20 years ago?
How many of you are on cheap Google fiber now?
I honestly suspect antitrust is the reason Google hasn’t laid more fiber (not that antitrust is bad). They’re dangerously close to being broken up for so many other things adding this would be a very high risk gambit. Especially because ISPs are known for their shitty business practices and leveraging lawyers to maximum pain on any legitimate competition that threatens them.
I’m on cheap Google Fiber. It’s been $70/mo since we first got it about 6-7 years ago. Before that, AT&T and Time Warner had a duopoly in my area, and getting to tell them to go fuck themselves was the sweetest day of my life. They are awful businesses who treat their staff and customers like shit while delivering inferior service. I’ve rarely had a problem with Google Fiber, and if there’s downtime, they give you a prorated discount. Customer service is really easy to access, also, vs waiting on hold or in person in line with the other ISPs.
Google did it in a few select locations to stimulate broadband markets from which they benefit. They have had good service from what I’ve heard, but they’ve been beating this drum for years and remain very inactive with laying anywhere near as much fiber as they have promised. This is another trap. They say stuff like this every few years to try to rouse the broadband giants, but I do not believe they have good intentions.
You’re a sucker. Sorry to say it.
You are a prop customer to bolster their origin claim that didn’t pan out to upset a market, which they PROMISED they wouldn’t abandon.
Turns out they’ve been trying to sell back those dark-fiber projects to the communities they spawned in for a few years now.
I’m guessing you’re in KC or Austin though.
What exactly makes me a “sucker” in this situation?
You’re sucking down that cheap cheap data
A sucker with fast, cheap fiber.
I want to be a sucker too :(
I am. Love it!
Good little drone, gold google star for you
