Did you know that Google recently opened offices here in Pittsburgh? Isn’t that wonderful?

Google is launching a test in just a few markets to install ultra high speed intenet access. Form their site —

Our networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today, over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We’ll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.

Now, that’s fast! The company is asking for your input in the form of nominations for your community. You may also provide a nomination for the municipality in which you live. You can fill out your nomination here. Google is asking for information about your current service, so be prepared with information about your download and upload speeds. Google will be collecting this information through March 26, 2010.
