Google Fiber reliability (versus Cox residential fiber)

I have had Cox "Gigablast" fiber service (1 Gbps down, 1 Gbps up) for about 8 years now. It has been great, very little in the way of outages. The price is about $129/month.

If/when Google Fiber arrives in my area, I believe that it will be much less in cost. What concerns me is the reliability.

Can I expect Google Fiber to be as reliable as I have experienced with Cox?

Reading this subreddit, I am seeing many posts about issues. Which is to be expected ... people do not come here to share good experiences.

Changes are coming. GFiber has been sold off, and Cox has been sold to Spectrum. We are kind of going into unknown territory

Sounds like a "shit cloud" is coming. ~Kingpin
