I forgot all about making a thread on here about it, but Google is wanting some cities to test 1Gb fiber optic connections.http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi

Some cities have renamed streets in order to get Google's attention, but Topeka went one step further and renamed the town for the month of March.http://cjonline.com/news/local...ansas

Some may say it's dumb, but if I end up getting an upgrade from 12Mb to 1Gb, then hooray Topeka city council!

If we get it, I'll have to upgrade routers since mine is only 10/100. I plan on doing so sometime, but not till I get a large NAS/Server.

Man I hope so! If so, who knows how long it'll take to get the infrastructure completed. I'd love to have an ftp to host home video's and other stuff to my family. Our (wife and mine) extended family is pretty big!

Depending on the connection speed, I'd even hook up some choice NICO members with some multimedia.
