Google Internet Technology: Google Fiber

If you don’t know what Google Fiber is, let me quickly explain.

Google Fiber is Google’s plan to get insanely fast internet to everybody at a reasonable price. The big USP about Google Fiber is that it is SUPER fast, and by “super” I really do mean fast — like 1000Mbps fast.

To give you an idea of just how quick that is: imagine your “fast” 100Mbps connection now and how long it would take to download 100 photographs. The time for 100Mbps? Around 4 minutes. Right, get this: Google Fiber would do the same task in 3 seconds, making it up to 100x faster.
