Would you really want to have Google as your ISP however, a company that is well known to spy on its user base with rogue service's and connection's that cannot be disconnected from unless you have experience in the matter. I, thankfully, would reject Googles' offer for a fibre optic service, it is already bad enough with Google gathering information about you through your search criteria for instance so I would personally dread the thought of achieving this in every other way imaginable.

Edit: Impressive speeds thou.



And this is why I am waiting for fibre ladies and gentlemen.

I'll pass on that one, Google is a living example of a cooperate version of 1984 and why we should NEVER sell our privacy just for the sake of a faster internet.

And i thought Tesco Clubcard was evil, sheeesh.

Exactly my point... Took me a while to figure out the 1984 reference though (Big Brother).

I'd put money on almost everyone having these kinds of connections right from booting up... Do a whois on 1e100.net - it's Google. I didn't install any Google programs, but I've seen Chrome initiate an install without prompting the user from inside of FireFox, makes you wonder what happens when you have ads by Google, Google search, YouTube or other services open. Last thing I want is my entire network connected to Google with constant offers of "Use Google this" "Use our new cloud computing" and whatever else they can think of to get your data.

On another note, last time I mentioned this online I got banned from a forum because everyone said I was insane.

You could be insane ! but you are right !

I've already crossed that bridge. Google knows everything about me. They have my email,  my calender, search history, rss subscriptions, photos and more.. but so does gchq and god knows who else.

I'd sacrifice my soul for broadband of that speed with no restrictions

Theres the problem! GCHQ could arguably have the right to know your comms details in the interests of national security etc, Google on the other hand....
