Comment on When Google Fiber abandons your city as a failed experiment (2019)

Comments

I'm utterly shocked that once again Google half-assed a product and then completely abandoned it.

Another one: Mountain View's Google Public WiFi was never usable by anyone for anything.

In their defense, I don’t actually know of any municipal-scale outdoor wifi project that was a success, though I’d love to hear about it.

Layton, UT has a fairly widespread public wifi system, called Layton Lightspeed. It's pretty speedy, for a muni wifi.

Brisbane seems to be decent.
