I cannot wait for the day when it is widely available to most areas. I'm at a University and sometimes I wish my internet would be as fast as dial-up.

I know that at unis in the UK all student accommodation (halls) has fibre optic which is not as fast as google fiber but still pretty good.

Is your university's connection slow? At mine, most students in dorms get about 10-15 mbits/s. And I know when I'm on campus I get around that much. Labs have much faster speeds, and when hardwired I can get up to 100-300 mbits/s. Which is lightning fast.

I could only imagine how fast Google Fiber is.
