Google Fiber is Google's fiber-to-the-premises service in the United States, providing broadband internet and television to a small and slowly increasing number of locations.
The service was first introduced to Kansas City, Kansas, and is being rolled out to Kansas City, Missouri, with plans for expansion to several other Kansas City area suburbs, as well as Austin, Texas, and Provo, Utah. In February 2014, Google announced they had chosen another 34 cities in 9 metro areas as candidates for future expansion. In January 2015, Google selected Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, and Nashville as the next markets that will receive Google Fiber deployments.
Google Fiber offers three options: a free broadband internet option, a 1 Gbit/s internet option, and an option including television service (in addition to the 1 Gbit/s internet). The internet service includes one terabyte of Google Drive service; the television service includes a two terabyte DVR in addition to the Google Drive. The DVR can record up to eight live television shows simultaneously. In addition, television service will also stream live program content on iPad and Android tablet computers.
Commont:
Currently, I'm using the Xiaomi Mibox to receiving the TV programs via Internet. The sole function of TV Box is to provide a platform for applications and decoding solution for HD/4K videos. The only difference between each box is solely the decoding power and multiple ports/slots.
