IMMA GET DIS brother SUM GIGABIT INTRNTZ

Why would someone need a internet speed this fast?

A 3g internet speed can do all three of those without issues.

Right but not all at once. Also being able to download large games I.E. Wurld of Wurcurft (which is like 18gb) in 18 seconds is pretty impressive. also, if people die in video games they have no lag to blame it on.

speeds that fast are ridiculous lol

it's like not even extremely useful at this point anyway

Its going to Austin Texas next.

Intra-network exchange will be extremely fast

Of course you will need to buy a network adapter that will operate that fast, such as a USB 3.0 adapter (which doesn't exist yet)
?!  Or maybe ethernet, which already can get gigabit speeds.

The great thing about this is that it's intended as a way to prove that other ISPs also have this capability.

Connection quality is a different issue.

Most computers within the last 6 years have gigabit interfaces, however most cabling and routing devices are still at 100mbps speeds.


Your ISP won't allowed such download speeds and unless you have a 1000mbs router you won't see a boost.

What are you talking about. Google fiber is an ISP, it offers gigabit internet. When you get gigabit you get a gigabit modem and router. How do you think the speed is shown like that. They do a test off of your connection. Also there are tons of routers that do 900mbps which is basically what you're actually getting. They're not that expensive either.

Gigabit
1 gigabit = 0.125 gigabytes
0.125 gigabytes / second

So 144 seconds.

Whoops misread it then but still 144 seconds is a fast download.
