Google's now an ISP?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

I should swap my ADSL2+ for their 32/8Mbit for only $24.95!

Can you say "April, 1st"?
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

Yeah, the idea of flushing one end of a network cable down the toilet kind of gave it away.

Out of interest, what speed Internet does everyone use? Mine's suppose to be rated 24M down/1M up, but realistically I'm only getting around 10Mbit down..
