Google Fiber has been aggressively upselling us to a higher plan the last 6-12 months, prior to that in my 6 years with them I don't remember a single upsell. Guess I know why now, trying to grease the numbers for the highest possible sale price.

I'll be sure to take this as a warning sign in the future with other services if aggressive upselling starts happening unexpectedly.

Ha!

I checked recent comps and see 6-10x EV/EBITDA multiples. Allegedly Google had been funding with cash and losing money. Go figure...

Every $1 they got out of you with upsell, gave them $10 more for AI.
