I’m considering getting Google Fiber for internet service, because it’s about to become available in my area.

Are the Google Fiber admins cool with filesharing protocols?

Or do they strangle traffic, ban people for filesharing, etc?

2 issues I have with this:

  1. Google is one of the biggest spy-ware companies out there
  2. Due to 1. I would not be suprised if they participate in Harvest now, decrpyt later
    (regarding users who think they will be safe under a VPN)

I’d consider taking another ISP,
you know, just one who is not known for using you as a product and shoving spyware into every nook and cranny they can find…

A private company is not storing petabytes of encrypted data on the chance they might turn a profit with that information later. They can’t even turn a profit with the useful petabytes of videos they have on YouTube. I can rest assured that every CEO is trying to get the next round of stock buy backs going.

The government totally would harvest petabytes of encrypted data, but they’re not revealing their spy program because you want to see muscle orgys. At least until a more religious government is formed.
