One Per Cent: Google rolls out fibre optics for gigabit internet

One Per Cent: Google rolls out fibre optics for gigabit internet: "Google has launched its own internet service provider with connections so fast you could download an HD movie in the time it takes to read this sentence, it claims. Google Fiber will offer download speeds of 1 gigabit per second, around 100 times faster than the average US internet connection.

The service will launch in Kansas City, which saw off more than 1100 other communities that had applied to be the first with gigabit internet when Google first announced its plans in 2010. Data will be delivered via Google's own fibre-optic network, which the company is laying down as residents in areas of Kansas City dubbed "fiberhoods" sign up."
