It's kinda sad that the current ISP climate in America is such that faster speeds being rolled out is at the top of Hacker News.

That said, I'm excited as hell for the roll out. I'm not in one of the target cities, but Google Fiber spreading gives me hope that they'll eventually make it to me. I've lived with Bright House and their terribleness for far, far too long.

There's nothing trivial about 1gbps consumer broadband (maybe if we were talking about 100mbps). It's very worthy of attention.

Very few countries have competitive access to 1gbps consumer broadband. You can name them on one hand.
