Have it and have loved it even though I'm sure Google has been using every bit of traffic to nefarious purposes.


Still wonder how bad the new thing would get before I ever even would consider going back to Spectrum. The new company might literally be able to rape me and I'd still prefer it over dealing with them.


I'm reminded of the south park segway parody episode.

A house less than a quarter mile away from me has it. My neighborhood has no fiber options at all. Only option is Spectrum or 2MB DSL.
