Stanford To Receive Ultra-fast Google Broadband

Superfast broadband is the need of the hour

Superfast broadband is the need of the hour. From paying utility bills to online shopping and even placing orders for essential services, you need a reliable Internet connection. With technology going way ahead, people rely completely on their computers, laptops or smartphones to perform important tasks. At such time one need high connectivity, this is one thing that Google has thought about.

In order to cement their place in the broadband market search engine giant Google has decided to launch their ultra-fast in the Stanford University early next year.

The launch will be a trial period for the next generation broadband speed. The Google broadband fiber will aid a faculty of 850 members who live at the campus. It will be the first public trial for the service before its launch into the mainstream market.

The Stanford trial will offer speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per second, which is 100 times faster than the speeds provided by other broadband providers in the United States.

Google product manager James Kelly said in a post on the company's official blog.

"We'll be able to take what we learn from this small deployment to help scale our project more effectively and efficiently to much larger communities."

Google had revealed the ultra-fast broadband plans as early as February with view to beating rival broadband provider's efforts to increase network speeds. Though the plan sounds promising Google acknowledges the risks involved but regards it as a necessary step to counter bandwidth hogging sites like YouTube.

Though the Stanford trial is relevant in context, Google insists that it should not be compared to its overall fibre-optic broadband test. Many states are vying for the coveted position of being the test centre for Google's major plans and are slightly disappointed that Google's alma mater may receive the service for free. Google has revealed that the test centres will be decided by the end of this year.

But the point tipping in favour of Stanford is its geographical proximity to Google's headquarters. Also, the university seems to be open to idea of 'experimenting with new fiber technologies on its streets."

This is a good news for the Stanford residents who are highly dependent on their internet connection for their day to day jobs. Performing these task with a high speed broadband connection makes the task quick and less time consuming. With the search engine giant itself making efforts to boost the internet speeds this move is sure to make an impact.
