Google Fiber: excellent in theory, disappointing in practice?

Posted on: Thursday, 2013.05.16 by J.D. H. in in Uncategorized,

My friend Ronnie lives in Overland Park and as such I have been keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that he will get Google Fiber ASAP. Unfortunately, that has not been happening. Google has still not announced availability for Overland Park and beyond that they are not rolling out very fast to the areas they [...]

Today while checking out at Nu-Way I asked the cashier “what is the new construction south of the Nu-Way  parking lot?” Her response was: a SUBWAY®!
