Google Fiber Coming to... Provo Utah?

Provo, Utah, is getting Google Fiber. It will be the 3rd city in the US to get the much desired gigabit connection.

What's in Provo, Utah? Um... Google Fiber, Brigam Young University, a lot of Mormons, and... not much else. It's also apparently a hotbed of right-wing conservitism, too. Maybe access to gigabit internet (porn) will soften them up a little.

I didn't even know people lived in Utah. I just figured we kept it around so we could keep ourselves at an even 50 states. Or maybe that's Montana I'm thinking of...

Progress! Bring it to New Orleans or Baton Rouge.

 

[Taleweaver]

I honestly never heard of that city before. I take it it's Utah's capital?


Also...porn doesn't soften up people. It's usually the other way round.

Why aren't real places getting this stuff?

 

[nachoscool]

They need to bring it to California. LIKE NAO

The whole plan with Google Fiber was to start in the center of the country (e.g. Kansas City) and move outward from there. They went to Austin next and hit Utah. Seems like it will be a while before it hits the east coast *sigh*

 

[nukeboy95]

Come to somewhere important like Seattle wa

Kinda off by at least a century. The mormons haven't practiced polygamy since 1890. I think the ones that still do are called jack-mormons though.....

[Ericthegreat]

Joke or typo ?

Guys, it's only fair. Mormons can't have caffeine in their diets - might as well supplement it with some Fiber.

No way... Really?

And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.

You've got to be kidding me. God told them to not drink "hot drinks"?

I knew they had some odd beliefs, like the Garden of Eden being in Jackson County, Missouri, or God living on the planet Kolob. But... Hot Drinks?
