Grande has been pretty decent as a local ISP in my experience, though they're not available everywhere. But this should be much faster and better, and anything to chip away at TWC and AT&T is nice.
We just switched to Grande from TWC for our home internet and couldn't be happier for the service they provide at a fraction of the cost of our previous, slower TWC plan. That said, I think it will be hard to stay on Grande if Google Fiber really gets rolled out here.
I wish I could afford to take a CS course at UT and get plugged into the culture there.
Working in Austin would be amazing... and probably much more feasible (since it's a two hour-ish drive) than California.
Really hoping for Google Fiber here in Austin
Our whole office went crazy with excitement when we saw this article. I really hope it is fiber. I can't wait to get out from under I current ISPs.
