A lot of people dont understand the difference between GB and Gb so, before someone derps up

GB = Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes
Gb = Gigabit = 1024 Megabits

A bit is 1/8 of a byte.

What google fiber is promising is not 1024 MB, but an eighth of that; 128MB and that makes sense since they claim that their service is a hundred times faster than todays internet, and I highly doubt anyone here has a 10 megabyte/s connection.

Wow I thought it was 1GB. What's all the hype about if it's only 128MB? I have 12 MB net and I have a couple of friends that already have 100MB net.

All ISP's advertise their internet speeds as megabits. Your friend probably only has a speed of 12.5 megabytes.

In my view, It's  :thumbsup:
Because more pr/s ( porn per sec ).

But, i think some people say "Now google started more aggressive privacy data stealing"
Like android or whatever google service
( i don't think so )

Yes, as far as I can tell from their information page, but I am doubtful that it is the same 1 Gb speed internet.

I consider their 'average speeds' to be good speeds because my internet sucks.  ._.
