Crazy, I get 1gb up and down for $70 a month. It’s a shame Google Fiber didn’t continue to grow, they’re such a great internet provider.

Agreed. I lived in a fiber city for five years and absolutely loved having gfiber as my ISP.

Jesus, I pay that much for Spectrum's "up to" 100mbps. Right now speed test is showing me anywhere from .04 to around 40 down and about 10 up, but admittedly, my Wifi setup is less than optimal. There's only a single upgrade package "up to" 400 down.

You don't even need GF for those prices.

My local Bell is $65/mo for 1Gbit symmetrical.
