Google Fiber is a go in Charlotte

Good luck getting that in Mint Hill  :P

 

Seriously though, it'll probably be years before it gets to the burbs. Highest population density areas are likely going to get it first because that is more $ per foot of fiber laid.

 

I'm in the highlighted map so I assume I'm getting it.

The only map I've seen is an unofficial map some dude put on his blog. This is what Google said on their Twitter yesterday:

 

 

Google Fiber

@clemsonsteven We don't plan to offer service past Charlotte proper at this time, but register for updates here: http://goo.gl/XP2UDE

I actually was looking at that map on google yesterday... I could zoom in and poo.  I just checked it again and google took that map down and replaced with a word "In Progress"

I live in Mint Hill but my postal service is Matthews and my house located 3 miles from Charlotte city limits.

If you're within 5 miles of a fiber hub you might be alright.

 

Even if you don't get fiber, with fiber coming to town, it is almost assured that TWC raises speeds, won't throttle your speeds, and doesn't implement data caps. It is the only way they'll be able to keep people from fleeing to Google and I doubt they'd be so specific as to say a Charlotte customer gets all those advantages and a Mint Hill customer doesn't.

The map actually showed only about 2% of Mint Hill getting Google Fiber... I was in the 2%.  Map showed part of Matthews and tiny part of Mint Hill getting google fiber.

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Did I personally insult you?  Hmmmm I thought I made a general statement.   It's a damn shame you took it personally.   I've read more than enough of your posts to know you should take your own advice.  Anyways, no hard feelings.  May I say one more thing? Oh hell, why am I asking you? 🤣🤣   One of the great things about being a fan of the NFL, is watching players develop.  Every year,  there are players whom make it that nobody saw coming.  Then there are those whom everyone thought was sure fire winners, fail.  I enjoy watching players develop, and grow into players that we love and admire.  It's part of the enjoyment of watching the game.  Seems that is lost in today's NFL where everyone wants instant success and gratification.     I do apologize if you took anything I've said personally.  It's just a message board.
