Free Broadband from Google!

Postby Scott McCrea » Apr 1, 2007 7:47 am

Google has introduced a new service that will provide free broadband service called TiSP! Of course, it will be supported by ads, but, hey, it's free! Unfortunately, most rural homes will not qualify as the fiber optic wires are run thru municipal sewer lines. But, it's faster than DSL. Here's more info: http://www.google.com/tisp/

"Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system ..."

End-toEnd...God that cracks me up. However, I think the service would really stink if you had a big mess on one end. :scuba:

The improvement in speed simply bowled me over, but the variety of spicy ads I had to endure caused me to flush quite a few times. I did note some irregularity, too, but after using it quite some time I really felt pooped.
