How would they get this into SF or NYC? Verizon currently testing a 300mps I am sure they will scale that a bit in next 1-2 years.

Getting this into big cities with established players is going to be an utter nightmare. Although I live in a pretty central area of Brooklyn and still don't have FIOS, so anything that will allow me to get rid of Time Warner Cable will be very, very welcome.

That said- TWC has awful customer service, but Google doesn't have the best reputation either. That might be their biggest test in all of this.

What about smaller markets like Seattle, Portland, or other cities up here?

Is there any more info about their plan for build-out or how soon it'll be available in our neighborhoods?

I'd imagine it would get to Seattle sooner than later since there's a Google office here?

I would think so too...though technically it's in Kirkland...

There's an office in Fremont too, though, I think.

In downtown Seattle they already have competition in the form of CondoInternet.
