Free High-Speed Internet Access from Google – TiSP

Google is offering a revolutionary mode of data transport called TiSP for free! Speeds are at least 10x DSL, and higher speeds (up to 40x DSL) cost only $24.95 a month.

What’s new about this system? Well, you utilize your sewer system to connect to your local FiOS network.

Check out the free TiSP service at Google’s website:
http://www.google.com/tisp

Here’s some of the benefits, as listed on their site:

* It’s fast. In our testing, TiSP delivers a 10x higher flow rate than basic DSL.
* It’s FREE. No more paying hundreds of dollars a year for Internet service that doesn’t even necessarily extend to your bathroom!
* It’s good for you. Your FREE TiSP service includes a Google Toolbar-based analysis of your dietary habits and genetic predispositions, along with recommendations for healthier living.

P.S. – Happy April Fool’s Day!

    hardy-har-har. We can all laugh, but TiSP is a blatant rip-off of DSL technology I introduced a decade ago. Geesh.

    Wireless broadband service from Google isn’t that surprising. Google’s acquisitions of dark fiber and other moves in the ISP field, indicate their interest in the market. There is some truth in every joke, and high-speed Internet service from Google is a possibility!
