Los Angeles will be an impressive feat. The ridiculous number of jurisdictions will generate an ungodly amount of red tape.

Well the announcements are kind of dishonest, they aren't doing whole cities. Select neighborhoods get the service and you actually be a street over and miss out. I remember the excitement when they announced Atlanta, until we saw the map.

Yes it is impractical to cover a "city" but it would be more honest to say "Coming to select areas of X"

exactly. my fear is that when Google says "Los Angeles" they really mean "Venice where a lot of our employees live and work", or at best "west of the 405"...
NoHo is probably a no go too
DTLA needs it badly too. Some of us are stuck with DSL :/
Look into that, my building on 7th & LA now offers TWC. It took a while though.
Wow I wasn't aware the situation was that dire.
