Google has just announced Austin, Texas is the second city (after Kansas City) to get a Google Fiber network. Google Fiber is some 100 times faster than typical broadband access in the USA. The project is demonstrating that cable companies are too stingy or too greedy to improve their infrastructure. With a gigabit connection, downloads are instantaneous, and there is no buffering of HD video for education (or entertainment), and the much-touted cloud services will run smoothly.
