Can't think of a better time for a Robocop movie reference, "I'll buy that for a dollar!"

Now you only have to come up with $30 million to finish the project....

Wow... Nice... And I'm here in Mexico Struggling paying $30 US Dlls @ Month for just 5Mb/s

 

[Seansjohnson]

Its a 300 dollar connection fee.

Because your privacy IS our business: Google ISP.

I admit I am a little sad to see the Utopia network go. It brought a lot of business to Utah.

But free internet after a connection fee? Nice. Though I am still sad to see this publicly funded project sold for one dollar. And that we still have to pay for it. Only to have it become a private project. Its fair but unfair. 39 million left in the project could fund school improvement for most of Utah.

I was pissed when the Utopia project was voted down. And now I'm more pissed that it turned out this way. Thanks Utah.

Austin needs faster Pr0n than Provo

Im in Alaska, internet is horrible one of the slowest in the world. But I can still game on it and it rarely goes down.

Google was playing "Price is Right"

Its a 300 dollar connection fee.

Everywhere I looked says it's $30 for Provo residents, the $300 is for other cities. The low amount seems to be part of the deal that Google is making with the city and not a set thing for every city.

Finally it seems reasonable internet fees are coming to the US.

 

[tarzan2001]

Even paying a one-time fee of $300 to have unlimited internet at super high speeds after that is a really good deal!

 

[cashews]

So basically the $1 cost Google $38,999,999... ouch!
