    Not sure if it'll change for the new cities:
    https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2657118?hl=en

    $300 fee then free (slower I think) internet for at least 7 years or No fee and $70 for internet or 120 for internet + TV

    This will kick comcast to the curb.

    Too bad they still have the Blazers contract that'll keep some tied to Comcast for TV.

    It will probably be a couple years before Google Fiber is ready for consumers in PDX. Blazers/Comcast Sports Net deal ends after the 2016-17 season.
