“Google” not as much of a selling point anymore? Or are they gonna sell it off?
Google has been using just "G" as a prefix for product names almost as long as it has existed. Remember Gmail?
Yo, it's G cause it's from the streets.
But didn’t it start as gmail? Gsuite started like that, idk what else there is. But transitioning from Google X to GX I don’t think is something they’ve done much if at all.
Gsuite started as Google Apps for your domain
Itll be in the dust bin 2 years down the road so yeah no one trusts google products to be long term.
To be entirely honest I thought it had been already until just recently when I saw they wanted to expand to 10G networking. They’ve almost entirely stopped rolling out to new areas from what I can tell
https://fiber.google.com/blog/2023/02/google-fiber-continues-to-grow-next-up.html
They just rolled out millions in new fiber lines in my area. I had them for internet since 2018, moved out of their area, and now I am in their area getting their service again.
You are incorrect about that stagnation. Google has breathed new life into fiber offerings.
Can I assume that you like their service?
Yes. The free cloud storage doesn’t hurt either
How much are they giving you?
Back when I had it, it was a free 2 TB of google cloud storage with the fiber account.
Dayum that's s deal
