Time Warner Boosts Broadband Customer Speed — But Only Near Google Fiber

An anonymous reader writes " Rob is a Time Warner Cable customer, and he's received two really interesting things from them lately. First, a 50% speed boost: they claim to have upgraded the speed of his home Internet connection. That's neat. Oh, and they've also cut his bill, from $45 to $30. Wow! What has prompted this amazing treatment? Years of loyalty and on-time payments? No, not exactly. Rob lives in Kansas City, pilot site for Google Fiber. Even though they have shut off people in other states for using too much bandwidth. Is Google making them show that it's not that hard to provide good service and bandwidth?"

    Aren't these Communists delicate little flowers? Amazingly thin skinned, even though they block anything even vaguely political from mainland China.

    I think they are a bunch of stupid Third World pussies, with stupid Third World attitudes. No wonder they're Pakistan's only friend in the world. It takes a dirty, illiterate loser to know one.
