A comment on Verizon: We Can't Become Dumb Pipes. Parent comment
I'm lucky and have solid internet access even if it's not the fasted. It's very reliable and low latency. But I'd still love some google fiber.
However, I don't think it's fair to attribute altruism or happiness to be a dumb pipe to google.
Ding ding ding!
