Google started here in the southern most part of Austin. Not sure how long the build out will take, but it looks pretty lengthy. By the end of 2017 is about what I would expect to finish with Austin.
Also, one must realize that the deals for Prime only members makes the value that much greater. I was spending about $28 at advance auto parts for 5 quarts of synthetic motor oil (and that was when it was on sale). I found a 5 quart jug for $18 shipped on Amazon (prime deal). I buy it about 4 times a year, so there's $40 in savings already. It was always irritating when I found a price I really liked only to find out it was for Prime members only.
I got my internet switched from Uverse to Time Warner. As suspected, it's been confirmed how utterly dreadful Uverse internet really is. I can already tell a huge difference in the smoothness of Sony Vue on my PS3 and even going through the guide (which was almost unusable with Uverse lagging). I was getting buffering every several minutes, it was not acceptable.
Here it is. I'll leave off the quotes cause I hate not being able to read the entire thing without clickin. On May 23, AT&T began implementing data restrictions for residential customers on their home Internet service. Depending on the plan, U-Verse customers will face caps of 300 GB, 600 GB, or 1 TB. AT&T says previously unlimited service now costs an additional $30 a month but in actuality my $65.00 a month for 45 mbps will increase next month to $189.00 a month. If you currently are paying $45 for 18 mbps and have some security camera systems the price will also increase to $189.00! AT&T Internet Data Cost Calculator If you have a smart TV and watch 2 hours of HD TV a day you will see your bill more than triple in July. If you have HD home security cameras you will now be billed for 1 TB of data usage. How AT&T estimates: The examples below provide a general guideline for the amount of data used for each activity: Activity Data Size 1 email (no attachments) 20KB 1 email (with standard attachments) 300KB 1 min. of surfing the web 250KB (15MB/hr) 1 song downloaded 4MB 1 photo upload to social media 5MB 1 min. of streaming standard-definition video 11.7MB (700MB/hr.) 1 min. of streaming high-definition video 41.7MB (2500MB/hr.) 1 min. of online games 200KB (12MB per hour) Keep in mind that these examples are just estimates based on typical file sizes. Your usage may vary. ** 1MB = 1,000KB approximately 1GB = 1,000MB approximately 1TB = 1,000GB approximately https://www.att.com/support/internet/usage.html
