Summary: Google isn't really a business, it's a confederation of dilettante, temporary experiments only interested in the paths of least resistance.

I'm curious if anyone knows why there is a GF dead zone in Austin downtown except for the Google offices and a few other buildings. It's bounded by N Lamar to the west, W 30th to the north, I-35 to the east, and the Colorado to the south. Taxes? Permit $? Laziness?

2 Gbps GF ATX customer here. It takes under a week to activate. They have 5 Gbps now but I don't see the point. $70 1 G, $100 2 G, and $125 5 G.

If GF goes under, there's always Spectrum who sends me 5 junkmail ads a week for their overpriced offering.
