> 1Gbps with unlimited data for $79 a month

Wow, sign me up. Comcast, which has a monopoly on my market, charges me a few bucks more per month, for 150mbps.

Comcast charges $100/mo for 1Gbps where I'm at in a suburb of Salt Lake City. Our city announced a partnership with Google Fiber that will begin rolling out in 6-8 months. After that happened, I've started getting Comcast adverts to sign a 2 year contract...I also expect to see their prices start dropping soon.
