Google's unbelievably fast new 1000Mbps fiber is finally live in Kansas City today. The service has no bandwidth cap, no coverage fees, and it'll come with 1TB (!!) of free cloud storage.
In addition to the blazing broader than broadband internet, Google's also got a new TV service called Google Fiber Television. The service is a lot like Google TV, but cleaner, and it can record up to 500 hours of HD programs. There will be remote apps for iOS and Android, both of which will have voice control, and at some point they'll get video streaming as well. The TV package will have all broadcast networks, along with hundreds of "Fiber channels".
Oh, and the default remote? A Nexus 7. Which you get for free when you sign up for a TV package.
There is a $300 construction fee for installing the fiber at your house, though. But Google is waiving that fee for new customers at the start. The internet and TV package, along with the 1TB of storage, is $120 per month. An internet-only package, with the1TB, is $70 per month. And if you decide to pay the construction fee, you can also choose a FREE 5Mbps down 1Mbps up internet package. You can break that payment down to $25/month for the first year, with a minimum of 7 years of free service, too.
We've known that Google might have something like Google Fiber Television in the works. Now that it's a reality, it's a clear shot across the bow of everyone else trying to crack the TV equation. Google has turned itself into a cable provider; Roku got gobbled up by a content creator and distributer; and Apple is looming over everything.
The distance between Google Fiber and its competitors is comical. While yes, Google Fiber is only in Kansas City for now, the closest you can get to it commercially is Verizon's 300Mbps connection over FiOS , which can reach that speed, but more often comes in well below. And that's more than three times slower than the gigabit connection Google just birthed.
That kind of scope and performance has had competitors running scared enough to put out bounties for on-the-ground information about Google Fiber.

Not even the next ten years looks promising for Internet in Nigeria.

Swift 8mbps Unlimited = N 84,000 per month ($522)

MTN Hynet 10mbps Unlimited = N 63,750 per month ($392)

Google 1Gbps (Internet Service alone) = $70 per month (N 11,248)

Japan 1Gbps = $27 per month (N 4,338)
