In my market (Atlanta) it's not even really about the speed. Granted Comcast is far more expensive per mbps than Google Fiber. It is "fast enough" except that Comcast will cap data usage to about 300 GB per month before charging fees.

I have 105Mb Comcast internet service with no caps. I don't think the cap applies everywhere.

Atlanta was one of the "test markets" for AT&T's data cap (which is expected to be applied to other parts of the country soon). It might be the same for Comcast.

God I hope not, I just looked at my usage and one month (November) I had 800G of transfer.

I backed up a lot that month, been making a lot of videos lately.

Maybe they are targeting area that have data caps? Perhaps that's one reason why Google hasn't announced anything in the Bay Area.

Google said that any fiber project in CA is basically a non-starter due to all the hoops they'd have to jump through to comply with CA's environmental impact assessment laws.

They are considering the south Bay, though. It's close to home for them.
