I have got in the 800s with Windows 8.earthling wrote:Anyone able to get over 400Mbps on Windows hardwired? I have a modern Haswell/Core i7 based laptop that can get over 900Mbps on Linux but only 400 or so on Win8 - exact same hardware. Maybe it's poor Windows drivers for that laptop but I have yet to see any Windows computer get much over 400.

Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network
Ah, curious. Might be bad Win drivers for my Win8 laptop however I also have a Win7 midrange netbook than can only 200Mbps hardwired while Linux booted on same hardware is more than double that. Hmm.

Are you running out of the network box on that Win7 device? The ethernet jack on the TV box is only supposed to get 200 Mbps.earthling wrote:Ah, curious.

Netbox hardwired, am well aware of TV box limit. Like I said, more than double on Linux with same config.

the same cable
same card manufacturer
same NIC settings
same traffic (like transfer the same file to the same destination using the same program common to both platforms)
newest driver for both OSs -OR- if there's a driver version that has both OSs, that
Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network
My neighborhood is in KCMO next to Liberty. The GF conduit installers just came through my street over the weekend installing the conduit and junction boxes in the ground. Next up will be actual fiber being run through the conduit. Anyone know if they do that separately from running fiber from the boxes to the homes?

the junction they doubtless run a bundle of fiber of a known length that they then terminate/splice at the junction box
for each home they have variable lengths with a single pair which takes different techniques.
Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network
So google started digging in my yard today. How long should it take for my service to be up and going? The guy on the phone said October but I can't imagine it would take that long to flip a switch.
How long did it take for you all after they began digging in your yards?

This shows a map of apts/condos with Google Fiber. It's not nearly up to date as in my neighborhood it shows my building but not several buildings around me that I know for sure have it.

Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network
If this is the first digging you've seen, then all they are running is orange conduit. Later they will run the actual fiber. Our neighborhood has had the conduit installation going on from late Feb through now. No one in our neighborhood has GF just yet. The email I got after the June 19th cutoff for our neighborhhood said "months" to an actual install date.mister816 wrote:So google started digging in my yard today.

I did not on the edge of our neighborhood where they installed the caps to the large junction box holes over the weekend had guys sitting under tents with computers hooked up. And the caps now had a metal structure above ground. So I'm guessing fiber has been run to the junction boxes that will feed into our neighborhood at some point.

The above ground boxes were put in months before they actually ran fiber to them.

I bet the average multi-tenant building is 12-15 units. there's a huge number of 3-story ones in the northland with 24 per.

and given there's not going to be 100% coverage, I'd guess 5000 more from multi-tenant is on the high side

Google Fiber signups underway in Westwood, Westwood Hills, Mission Woods, Roeland Park
Google also said that customers in Kansas City, Kan., and central Kansas City who live in neighborhoods where the firm has already decided to sell service have another chance to sign contracts. Residents there have until Aug. 7 to buy the service.
Re: Google picks KCK/KCMO for ultra fast fiber network
Google Fiber website has an update regarding timing in Johnson County.
Johnson County (excluding OP and those 3 cities that have signups running right now) will have signups before the end of this year (2014).
Overland Park signups will be sometime next year (2015).
