Still only in KC, hoping they make the leap to Seattle sooner rather than later.

in b4 TOS lays claim to all of my data and browsing though

Well... at least K.C. has one good thing about it now.

Wow, this is some pretty dope ish though, too bad I'm on the other side of the world..

5mpbs for free ain't bad.

They're only expecting to have the first KC neighborhoods constructed by mid-2013 at the earliest, so it's probably going to be a bit before this gets anywhere that matters. Why couldn't they have started in Philly?

Who do you use? Comcast charges me $80 for 14mbs (not actually sure what it's sold as--but that's what I get at the best of time).

They have been working on this for YEARS. Looks like it should be close to being done though..

Subigo, KC has great BBQ so now it has two things going for it.

One day I'll look back and remember this day as the exact day when SkyNet started. Oh and cats...I'll remember funny pictures of cats.

 

[shindig]

Yeah when does it get to Seattle? KS??

Dunno though I hardly stress my comcast useage anymore. If it were on par with cable I'd ditch my TV and go with it instead. I hate tv but need the cable internet.

ahem.

I'm really impressed with their content offering... This is going to blow Time Warner off the map. Pushing out Nexus slates with these offers is a damn smart move too.

This weekend I'm heading over to the KC google office and taking notes... Watch this thread for updates!

They just picked Kansas City as the location at the end of March 2011.
