So until i moved to KC 4 months ago, i had never heard of this before. im renting way up in the great white northlands beyond the wall right now, but in the spring im buying a house somewhere in midtown.

Apparently im going to have 1 gig/s downloads pretty soon

Heard about that a few months ago. But they were only going to be testing it in certain areas. Apparently it will be offered at a fairly reasonable price too (given the speed).

Cool that you will be able to test it out. Once you get hooked up, you should post back here with some speed data from http://www.speedtest.net/. :thumbs:

It sounds interesting, but exactly how are they going to handle the whole Nexus 7 remote thing? Remotes for most cable services are complicated enough already, now you are just using a tablet? Also, if you have more than one tv do you get multiple tablets or is there just one remote for the whole house?

as for google maps, hilariously, if you google map my old office you can see me walking in the door
