Nice try Google, I was really happy about Atlanta until I saw the cities listed.

Most of the cities they listed are in very sketchy areas that probably dont even know the difference between their regular connection and a faster fiber connection.

Avondale Estates - not so nice Brookhaven - will probably benefit College Park - crime area, could care less about fiber Decatur - some areas will benefit East Point - crime area Hapeville - crime area Sandy Springs - will benefit, lots of Apartment Complexes Smyrna - will benefit in some areas



Yeah, God forbid anyone should bring high-speed networking to poor areas. Fiber should be reserved for rich white people.


When they laid fiber down in KC they had each neighborhood sign up and based on how much interest each community had they would have precedence over the others.

If the cities they choose dont have an interest then what is the point?

Who said anything about white people?


You sound like one of those people in the suburbs stunting Atlanta's public transit because it would bring in more black people. The areas you are describing are not high crime areas, just poor.


No I want Marta just like I want my fiber. Accessible anywhere in and outside the perimeter.
