Man, at least you Americans will, probably, eventually get Google Fiber. Never going to get it here in Australia :(
FaceTheTruth
Lenexa, KS?
Impossibrew
Apparently OP on reddit said this is North Kansas City near Liberty.
IStealCommentsFromReddit
I hate you with every fiber of my being.
semifinal
Get out of here with your happiness.
themouseking
So you're taking photos of Google employees? Oh how the tables have turned.
JokeDudeR
Contractors, actually
rubbur
Google Fiber is literally 4 blocks too far away from me. I hate everything.
iamthemachine
Mine is a street away. I guess they're looking at putting it down but still. :(

Pick up your goddamned house and MOVE it, motherfucker!!!!!

As a Norwegian, you finally got it America. Took it's time. :)
chetpancakes
I like to imagine that at one point during every day the construction worker pretends the tube is a giant penis. If only to himself.
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
Cordial reminder for our American friends:
lebread
we suck in north america, GOD DAMNIT!
JokeDudeR
We won't suck after google fiber changes the stakes
bobsheadthreateningly
You don't have to remind us! It's not like we LIKE having such expensive, slow internet!
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
Soooo, who's hating you right now?
lowesdriver1990
That is one creepy gif.

As a Time Warner customer (which is the absolute dirt worst), fuck you.
Barley426
I've had Time Warner and Comcast (lucky me) I really cannot decide which I despise more.
TheDepartmentofRedundancyDepartment
I hate your neighborhood.

+1 for Ditch Witch
inkorp
which ditch?
thatwilldopig
That is a hell of a boring/drilling unit. My dad owns an equipment rental store and I've never seen one that big.
PacZeterson
Reminds me of the MadTV Deal or No Deal skit with Key and Peele: "Switch that witch! Switch that witch!"
codythomashunsberger
I can't believe they passed up on the chance to call it the ditch bitch.

I live in the NC research triangle... It's been reported they might be coming here next *fingers crossed*

Here is an article that lists the Triangle area: http://wraltechwire.com/google-picks-triangle-for-fiber-network-deployment/13407987/
DeSilversaurus
Doubt I'll be able to get googlefiber even if they did come here as I'm in the Willow Spring area near Benson.
drew2057
Ya, I've read that article
thisiswhereidputmyusernameIFIHADONE
Cary here, and yes! I've already emailed my local town councilman asking him to do whatever google needs to make this happen.
drew2057
I live in Cary as well. Who did you email?
thisiswhereidputmyusernameIFIHADONE
http://www.townofcary.org/Town_Council/Cary_Town_Council/councilmembers.htm you can see which council member represents your district here.
Idodeclare
I was so excited when I heard this news! I hope they come here!!
ashleigha894
My husband and I live in Raleigh but were planning to move to Hickory this summer. If we get google fiber I almost don't want to now :(
drew2057
That'll be a rather large culture shock from Raleigh to Hickory... stay here :P
ashleigha894
We love Hickory. We have only lived in Raleigh for a year and we are tired of the city :(
drew2057
Ah well if you're tired of the city, Hickory will be good for ya

Just found out yesterday that Scottsdale is on the list of potential cities for next expansion. Will be so disappointed if we don't get it.
FlyingBryan76
How can you tell it's Google Fiber...?
JesusVEVO
When you become regular.
AwkwardOstrichGirl
I would presume they let them know beforehand.
baikinmon
Just google it.
FlyingBryan76
Why didn't I think of that...
uzerok
By the black van that will show up in your street very soon.
Sakkura
It's being installed by a witch.
FlyingBryan76
Hahaha!
starfishhunter
That is just the conduit. Companies come through and install the conduit sometimes years before the actual cable is pulled.
PeePeeFrictionPleasure
Maybe it makes you poop more regularly...
FlyingBryan76
I appreciate the poop comment.
iNeedanewnickname
as a non-american: is time warner that bad?
sparkledick
If you're a business customer, not terribly. If you're a residential customer, prepare your anus.
Epyon4mg
Their customer service is the worst!
prassel
They dont have any competition. They split areas between them so there's only one option for customers. High cost, low speed, bad support.
damagz
Where I am on Canada, it's the same :(
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
FloodingWaters
It's like buying an essential service from a carnie.
DualSupernova
pretty much all of them fuck us in the ass. twice a day actually
axelasdf
8Mb/s+cable: $130/mo
AmbiguouslyPunny
Fastest speeds anyone can get in the US(besides google fiber) but shitty customer service. Also, pircey(then again int is always pricey here
Tierney11290
All American internet companies are when compared to other countries. We are way behind on internet speed and what we pay for is overpriced.
Tierney11290
The person that downvoted my comment must be an American ISP provider :P
Tierney11290
minus the second "provider"
CatsPitBullsAndBooksOhMy
YES. so is comcast, so is at&t, so is every option. they're also way expensive. hopefully google fiber will catch us up with the world.
Duwisib
I hope Google Fiber will come to Europe someday...
TheRealCJ
As an Australian, if you're trying catch up, we're lost on the other side of the stadium.
chanieldoi
It's undercover 'lobbying' that's forcing government regulations on fiber moving in for construction. For google to install Fiber in
chanieldoi
Los Angeles alone, they would have to deal with construction road closures, etc., all paid to government/side contractors.
chanieldoi
Also, Time Warner is mysteriously raising the internet speeds for those in Austin Texas due to the competition of Fiber there, but
chanieldoi
not offering the other services anywhere else. In fact, they're distributing the extra cost to maintain better speeds in Austin to OTHER
chanieldoi
customers in different states. Source: http://bgr.com/2014/02/20/time-warner-cable-internet-speeds-austin/
vechs
I have Time Warner for my ISP, and I have a 30/5 connection. Runs about 70 a month. Eh? Meh? Not really that bad.
warru
30/5 for 70.... Oh god that's horrible. 100/100 for 17eur/month in Finland. I ain't even mad.
ChakkaMofo
Gigabit for the same price? -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Fiber
vechs
Yes but this person is asking about TWC being bad. It's not great, but it's not Baron Von EvilSatan of ISPs either.
StarmanUltra
I'll be using the name "Baron Von EvilSatan" in the future :D
ChakkaMofo
It was just for sake of comparison. I know there are worse out there.
TheRealCJ
As a non-African: Is dysentery that bad?
NotAmused1001
HA!

Aren't you supposed to be not amused at this? :P

CrazyDogGuyIsCrazy
*Not free.Bbasic speeds with no tv are free for 7 years. Fiber is still cheaper though https://fiber.google.com/cities/kansascity/plans/
espasmato
*has a free option.
mamajames
So stupid question... What's special about Google fiber?
OliverDeKersodseon
A more intrusive way to control your internet activity, but faster!
letstalkaboutbeingwhite
It delivers information faster than the speed of a lightning bolt's semen, which is at least 300 times faster than a lightning bolt
mremaknu
Among other things, it's faster than the average US internet speed offerings, cheaper regardless of the tier you choose, and hi-tech as fuck
MaxamillionX72
100 times as fast as everybody else, cheaper than everybody else.
moxymox
Fast. Free option. Plus more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Fiber#Services
MoSqueezin
It's like supa fast, or something.
DVeagle74
Super freaking fast, and pretty cheap compared to others. And by fast they mean Gbit speeds...
Artefact
it literally sucks you off all day
ilovedogsbutmineisanasshole
Don't feel bad, I have no idea why this is so special either. Your not alone buddy
WizardsStick
$300 installation fee for 5 years free service, or $70/month for GIGABIT internet speeds. I pay $70 for 30mbps, or 3% of that speed.
NotAmused1001
Damn. I pay $70.00 for 50mbps, supposedly uncapped.
ISaidPassTheJuiceNotGasTheJews
Shit I miss having 30mbps! Where I live the best we can get is around 15mbps :(
ABear419
shit... Time Warner has me paying $60 for 10mb/s ... FML
WizardsStick
This is uncapped as well. Many ISP's have a 250/300GB cap, and have to pay $10/50GB over that.
CatsPitBullsAndBooksOhMy
yeah i think the free internet option is what makes it special for me. my city might get it soon and i'm PUMPED
[deleted]

CatsPitBullsAndBooksOhMy
exactly!
Nandabun
not to mention Google, as a whole, supports a boundless internet. So as an ISP, I can't imagine they'd be -watching- you.
TonyStarkTheKingOfTheNorth
you really think they're not watching their customers?
Nandabun
I think they wanna be safe, but there's a difference between observation and oppression.
TonyStarkTheKingOfTheNorth
totally agreed. but get that service and visit a dildo shop JUST ONCE and see what ads you get for the rest of your life.
Nandabun
Usually daily. Adblock. I wouldn't know. Dildos are fun, anyway.
