I'm not sure if Gigabit Squared has been mentioned in this thread yet or not, but certain areas of Seattle are going to receive some Google-fiber-like services fairly soon. I'm one block and 4 houses (8 houses total) away from the perimeter that's drawn out on Gigabit Squared's coverage map. I wonder what my chances are for actually getting service from them? Maybe I should walk around the neighborhood and try and get people to sign up? I would love to tell Comcast to go eat an AIDS infested sea urchin.

Coverage: http://gigabitseattle.com/areas/

Plan A: 5mb down 1mb up for 60 months for FREE; after 60mo users can choose to switch to $10 per month 10mb/10mb connection.
Plan B: 100mb/100mb for $45
Plan C: 1gb/1gb for EIGHTY DOLLARS PER MONTH.

I honestly will consider moving to get gigabit speeds for $80/mo.

Ugh I hate you people with your potential to get speeds like that. Granted, I have 50/5 but it costs me $93/month right now with Time Warner. Cincinnati Bell offers fiber in some places, but them getting out here to where I am is laughable at best because they are completely incompetent.
