Google has offered gigabit speeds at $50 a month since they started doing fiber, I saw they have raised it to $70 Kansas City though.

Chattanooga has been doing gigabit at $70 for a few years now. I have had it for at around 2 years myself now without TV service.

You won't get gig speeds as pretty much no servers can deliver it to you. You will most likely a lot less than that most of the time. I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-400 most of the time up and down.

That's awesome. LUS may lower their prices depending on popularity. Still a great deal regardless.

I'm curious to see about this. With the 80 up and down I have now to torrent downloads, streaming, etc. it is smoking fast. I might upgrade at some point, but right now I don't think I need it.....

Do you notice a huge difference? (with the gigabit)

Hell, at gigabit speeds a lot of times the hard drive becomes the bottleneck. But if you have multiple devices downloading or streaming, then you could probably come close to saturating a gigabit line. Or one computer with an SSD torrenting.
