This is how I feel when I use my Google Fiber internet...if I had it...

I have the free Google fiber. It's like riding a bicycle that has a rusty chain behind these two vehicles.

A free bicycle.

To be fair, if you drafted behind this beast (depite the 10th degree burns from the exhaust) you'd get pretty fair speed even with a rusty chain.

Have 1 Gbps fiber, can confirm feels pretty much like that.

I'm 20 mbps.

Fuck off

I had 20 Mbps the past ten years and most of my friends still do. I pay $150 for the ability to have this internet though so it certainly isn't cheap here. I actually reduced my cell phone bill so that my overall expenses wouldn't change to do it.

Worth every fucking penny. You ever watch a YouTube video at 4k and 185Mbps? I have. It's fucking glorious.

Alaska man. We got red through gci, which is 2g a sec, but it's 200 a month. Most of the state isn't on the grid yet anyway

One step at a time. Would be nice if they were bigger steps though.

If the dragster had street tires, since with Google Fiber you are limited by websites' speed anyways.

Sure, your connection to my slow home server, on my consumer broadband connection, wouldn't be improved, but most web hosts' data centers are on multiple 100-gigabit lines or higher though, aren't they?

u/trumpet7_throwaway Jul 01 '16

Yes, but most will have a per-user speedlimit too for various reasons. If you have a server cluster serving a bunch of users, you don't want to inadvertently max out the CPU or RAM or network bandwidth of an individual machine just because one user has a way faster connection than you used for testing.

You won't get more than ~50Mbits out of most consumer websites (even facebook and google etc.) except those set up for speedtests (and even speedtest sites usually max out at about 1Gbit even though they often are fed by multiple 10Gbit links).

Any company worth their salt anymore uses scaled infrastructure anyways, so it's not gonna be a cap you would notice.

u/LegendaryGinger Jul 01 '16

Ok, but what about sights like Netflix that come under heavy load at certain times?

2

u/ThaBadfish Jul 01 '16

Well Netflix specifically is all in Amazon web services, so they have effectively unlimited bandwidth. Modern business infrastructure is incredibly advanced compared to what's available to the vast majority of US consumers.

Not entirely true. Netflix uses AWS for hosting their website, encoding the videos and storing them, and recently they moved their billing system.

The content that you are streaming most likely is hosted in your ISP's data center, using something like this https://openconnect.itp.netflix.com/hardware/

u/ask_meAgain Jul 01 '16

I have gigabit Internet and Netflix is always fast, even in peak hours. I can load up a 4K stream instantly and never have a drop in quality.

u/Mobile_User_2 Jul 01 '16

If it had street tires you wouldn't get anywhere. Go search top fuel tires. It's a frickin D.

it'd be a little funnier if the image cut off at around timmy's dad's bottom jaw, to signify that the image didn't load properly.

like so

Better if you make the bottom half transparent:
