Google fiber hands down. Its a top tier connection, its fiber so you get dedicated bandwidth thats not shared. Its not to good to be true.

Posted

Right now I have AT&T internet (AT&T 24, so around 24 download 1 upload mbps) which is roughly around $70, I have a choice to switch to Google Fiber for the around the same price but it gives me 1000 down and up (mbps). Now its clear as day what I should choose but is it too good to be true?

 

* Question: Anyone that had or has had Google Fiber, is it what it suppose to be, referring to its insane up and down speed. What ISP should I choose, from anyone's past experience

Honestly shouldn't even be a question, if you can get Google Fiber where you live 100% do it. Especially if you're on AT&T 24 it's garbage.

Always go fiber.

 

Also people need to stop saying fiber is dedicated bandwidth, its not. Unless everyone on the blade is pinning out their connection you will never notice a drop in speeds however.

I think google fiber is gpon, so its shared bandwidth, so everyone sharing the optical splitter is sharing bandwidth, and there are shared pipes up the tine too.

didnt realize they were GPON.. but does make sense.. even though I doubt they will get saturated as I believe they all use individual wave lengths IIRC.

I think its splitting a total of 2.5g down and 1.2g up, and one frequency, I think.

 

If you want true deticated fiber, you paying much more, like at work were paying around $500 a month for 20/20 deticated fiber.
