Even as Time Warner Cable keeps arguing that people really don’t want super-fast Internet, Google is plowing ahead with plans to make its Google Fiber network even more of a beast. USA Today reports that Google CFO Patrick Pichette told the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference this week that Google is working on technology that will boost Fiber speeds up to 10Gbps, or around 10 times what they already deliver. In what reads like a veiled barb against other American ISPs, Pichette pointedly said that there was no reason to wait when it comes to deploying the fastest Internet technology available.

“That’s where the world is going, it’s going to happen,” Pichette told the Goldman conference. “Why wouldn’t we make it available in three years? That’s what we’re working on. There’s no need to wait.”

Google Fiber is already by far the fastest broadband service in the United States although its reach is limited because Google is only offering it in three marks so far: Kansas City, Austin, Texas and Provo, Utah. Pichette unfortunately didn’t give any specifics on whether Google Fiber would be expanding to more markets in the near future and only told everyone to “stay tuned” about expansion announcements.

OMG

I fucking hate Time Warner Cable. I hate the weird kind of monopoly ISPs have in any given area. I hate their exorbitant prices, and their data caps, and their terrible customer service.

Let's hope that, as these higher internet speeds become the norm, ISPs will be forced to lower their pricing for relatively low-speed internet. Let's also hope that they will see that there is going to be some competition and be forced to do better as businesses.

So, basically they're only now looking at getting 4x the speed of North Korea.

You'll be able to give all your information to Google at 10Gbps! :O

I'm sure they'll love to know all the kinky things I'm into, certainly.

That makes two of us.

Soon, kinky shit will become the most tame, and people will come up with some weirder stuff.
