Are we getting Too excited about Google Fibers already?

Google announced the Fiber Internet Service earlier this week which promised to give an extraordinary 100 x broadband speeds to its Users. But it is right now only coming to Kansas City. As Google is now transiting to an ISP, they will face many problems.


The Setup


As Google already said that Google Fiber will be coming to only those places where the majority of people pre-register it. Since the cost of setting up fiber is greater, we can already see it coming to less places than expected. It will of course take really a lot time in rolling this service to whole Country. 


Real Speed


As most of ISP's do, Google won't be throttling us on any basis, whether it's extra data usage or torrenting. But I am not sure about the latter thing, as Google is an Anti Piracy Company. But this isn't the point, we won't be capped, that's for sure but the real deal is will we be getting the speed they are boasting of. Like 1 GB/s is lots of speed. Many ISP today are not able to give speeds what they advertise, so we will be having a close look at what speeds they are giving.


Communication and Content


Just like other ISP's they have to keep up with their customers. The Communication between a customer and a Company decides whether the Customer is staying. And with a close look into the past, Google has failed in communication between Users. Remember Google’s failed attempt at selling its Nexus One Smartphone direct to consumers? It’s lack of customer service was a key reason it failed to get much traction in that attempt. Also if they are able to do it right this time, another problem awaits them that is about the content. Since they are offering Fiber TV as an add-on with the high end package it will be an alternative to the local pay TV packages at a pretty competitive price.  While it boasts more than 116 channels, the current offering is still missing key networks like ESPN, Disney, AMC, TBS, TNT, HBO. Looks Google is negotiating with them, in an effort to get a more complete bundle together. 


It would be a No-Brainer to say Google Fiber is not awesome. Speedy Internet connection and affordable price make Fiber competitive with others.  Lets see if Google is able to give a 1GB/s speed to users. What do you think?
