> GFiber service will be available in parts of the metro area later this year. Nevada residents and business owners will be able to choose between Google Fiber’s plans with prices that haven’t changed since 2012 and speeds up to 8 gig.
The author of the press release is under the mistaken belief that unchanged broadband pricing is a good thing.
From the linked price page:
1gig: $70/mo
2gig: $100/mo
5gig: $125/mo
8 gig: $150/mo
There was a time I would have been insanely jealous of any fiber option at all here in the Bay Area, and I know how hard it is to find fiber anywhere in the US, even still here in many parts of the Bay.
But when the fiber actually arrives, it becomes clear how cheap it is to provide.
When AT&T finally rolled fiber to my house in ~2019 it was $80/mo for 1gig symmetrical.
And you know AT&T's shareholders are still making money hand over fist at that price, because today, I pay Sonic $50 per month for 10gig symmetrical.
