Nope, I'm afraid they don't actually have anything on fiber the most they offer is 30mb/s for more or less the same google fiber asks for 1gbit

Or when your ISP installs a 1gig/s capable box in your apartment.. But doesn't turn it on for 8 months.. And still hasn't

Fiber is just a cable material, the speed they actually provide might not be close to the cable they use.
