Google Fiber Coming to Starbucks

[criso8]

So google fiber is coming to starbucks(slower speed though). I can't wait. I'm in starbucks all the time anyway. This will probably help fiber get noticed and be pushed out all over the country sooner.

Well, starbucks usually has lots of people in it. So 500mb devided by a LOT of people isn't a TON. Still very fast, but not 500mb

Even if it were 100 people, it'd be 5mb for me. And that's faster than my house right now.

Where I live, the starbucks is never really crowded and I'd be having a grand time with that connection.

Pretty nice that starbucks will switch to Google Fiber. Great idea to give customers a better time at Starbucks

Only Starbucks that's within Google Fiber coverage will receive Google Fiber.

It's unrelated to Google Fiber going nationwide, but improving the Internet connections throughout all Starbucks outlet in the US.
