I want a choice in internet other than Charter or AT&T. I also would like the speed of fiber at a reasonable rate. Please give us fiber in STL!
Apr 16, 2011
We need more High Speed options.
Mar 31, 2011
I use Google for everything! It would mean that I have a reliable internet connection at home. I need that!
Mar 21, 2011
Currently, we have DSL service. However, we are the maximum distance allowable from the closest dsl station. Therefore, our DSL can get very slow and can even fail at times. It would be nice to have a super fast connection and be able to transfer large amounts of data in a small period of time. We spend a large portion of our day uploading photos and files to the internet and emailing these files to people we work with. A large portion of that time is spent just waiting for these files to upload! Our office would benefit greatly by the added time we would have not having to wait for files to upload!
Mar 07, 2011
Yes Please

This would be FANTASTIC. St. Louis would sing Google's praises.
May 19, 2010
because st. louis is a city that needs a good push forward.
May 15, 2010
Benton Park is home to many artists, families, proffessionals & business owners; many of whom operate out of their homes or office spaces in the neighborhood- we welcome google & feel it would be a perfect "Test Market".
May 15, 2010
I use the internet constantly for sales and marketing, I think the whole country would be better off with the fastest internet connection possible. Saint Louis City could really use this boost.
May 13, 2010
Please bring Google fiber to St. louis
May 11, 2010
Please please include Saint Louis city. I currently can not get DSL and I live in the city.

I'm moving into the city this summer and the number one thing I'm looking for is a place with high reliability, high speed internet connection. This would be a boon to our city!!!
May 05, 2010
faster service would be great! it's about time St. Louis caught up with the rest of cyberspace!
Apr 26, 2010
Currently where I live now I can only turn to either AT&T or Charter for internet. Charter is a pretty good provider but not nearly fast enough, and AT&T is absolutely terrible in my area. Charter's connection was 10x faster than AT&Ts current offer, but its still not nearly fast enough
Apr 26, 2010
Sick of cable and u-verse...
Apr 25, 2010
I work out of my house for company in Denmark. The fastest speeds we can get the better!

We want Google!
Apr 22, 2010
BRING ME THE INTERNETS!
Apr 22, 2010
DO IT!
Apr 22, 2010
St. Louis is already using the internet as a tool for improving our city. Higher speeds means faster communication, which leads to faster response on city issues from infrastructure to gov't policy.
Apr 21, 2010
Bring Google Fiber to St. Louis would show what advances in technologly can do in a city that is transitioning from an industrial economy into a post-industrial, technologically capable, center of e-commerce.
Apr 20, 2010
The high speed of such fiber optic connections would be beneficial to the numerous hospitals around the St. Louis area.
Apr 19, 2010
St. Louis is a large city, but by no means does it rival other large metropolis regions like Chicago or New York. This would help put us back on the map.
Apr 16, 2010
This would greatly help expand my small business!
Apr 14, 2010
This will only help to put St. Louis' current resurgence more on track.
Apr 14, 2010
We run an internet radio station out of our house so good bandwidth would be immensely helpful!
Apr 12, 2010

Apr 12, 2010
high-definition video
Apr 10, 2010
A faster connection wold be geat for home and work.
Apr 10, 2010
Time to shine!
Apr 10, 2010
100 years ago, St. Louis was a global center for learning about the future during the World's Fair. In modern times, St. Louis has proven to be a center for small business and a launchpad for innovators. The applications of ultra-high speed Internet could be diverse and amazing. It would be a perfect city for Google Fiber! (Just be sure to include Chesterfield, St. Charles and the Metro East, since they're all part of St. Louis as well!)
Apr 09, 2010
Ability to upload and stream HD video!
Apr 08, 2010
Yes.
Apr 08, 2010
I run a small hobby/business and this would make everything a lot better!
Apr 07, 2010
Having something like this in St. Louis would help my small business tremendously with file transfers. No more waiting 2 hours to upload to ftp with ATT or cable would be a dream and help to get more accomplished. And getting more accomplished hopefully creates more areas for employment growth, which is never a bad thing... especially now.
Apr 05, 2010
Google, St. Louis is perfect for google fiber because it is an equal distance from almost everywhere, and nothing will happen to your servers because there are no natureal disasters here! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring your service to St. Louis. All of the local Internet providers are incredibly slow and we need something new.
Apr 05, 2010
Google Fiber would increase my ability to work faster and more efficiently from home when needed for my full time job with the St. Louis Public Schools, for course work to further my education, and in increasing my income with part time, work from home positions.
Apr 05, 2010
Please hook me up
Apr 04, 2010
Please bring google fiber to st louis; I pay 110.00 a month for internet that is lackluster to say the least in terms of speed offered and reliability of service.
Apr 04, 2010

The Show Me State in action! Come on SPEED!

Mar 30, 2010
This would help me to business more efficiently.
Mar 30, 2010
STL NEEDS IT!
Mar 30, 2010
Why STL needs accessible internet like Google Fiber? Simply look to see where the "pins" are placed on this map. The poorest areas in STL are generally north of Delmar Blvd. There are almost none placed. The pins are placed by users residing in wealthier or "yuppier" areas. If we can give this disadvantaged segment of the population access to basic services like the internet, STL would be much better as a region.
Mar 30, 2010
You know you wanna do it so don't resist it :)
Mar 30, 2010
Google Fiber would help bring new technology to the City of St. Louis
Mar 29, 2010

Mar 29, 2010
I WANT THIS.
Mar 29, 2010
I would be a candidate to try out the high speed Google. I work at Boeing on Fighter Jets -- a high tech defense contractor and the biggest employer in St. Louis. St. Louis has a diverse mix of companies that could use ultra high speed internet -- Scottrade, Edward Jones, Wells Fargo brokers, Panera, Enterprise Car Rental which also owns National and Alamo, Anheisur Busch, AT&T, MasterCard, Centene, Express Scripts and many more.
Mar 29, 2010
I would love to see the fiber in St. Louis! I love google!

Providing a community like this, which is so striated socio-economically, would go a long ways toward leveling the playing field.
Mar 29, 2010
Help a great city get back on the world’s stage and regain its rightful status as one of America's leading edge urban areas. Our many top notch universities and medical institutions will all benefit greatly from this advancement in technology, drawing more forward thinkers and leaders of tomorrow to the heart of our country.
Mar 29, 2010

Mar 27, 2010
I want google fiber too.
Mar 26, 2010
Charter Company is in decline. Save us Google!
Mar 26, 2010
St. Louis has just the right types of internet consumers for you to really test a diverse group. Also St. Louis could really use better internet than it's been receiving, and i feel as if Google Fiber would really be heading off any other internet provider in the area, showing us what real internet can do.
Mar 26, 2010
My Charter bill is through the roof. Please help!
Mar 26, 2010
Go Goog!
Mar 26, 2010

This would be an amazing asset to the community as well as the numerous college students that are in and around St. Louis.
Mar 26, 2010
There are many reasons STL needs Google Fiber, one of the big reasons is the big empty space on this map on the North Side of STL
Mar 26, 2010
I want my kids to be able to use the internet more effectively as a tool to help them with things such as their homework.
Mar 26, 2010

St. louis is finally a growing city again according to the new census reports. Help us grow better google!
Mar 25, 2010
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Mar 25, 2010
With the economic conditions tight in St. Louis, many, like me, are making a living working from home. St. Louis would be a great city to demonstrate the potential impacts of Google Fiber on a local ecnomy. This will help move forward our entrepreneurial sprit and help small business owners like me be more competitive in the global market. I encourage you to strongly consider St. Louis as the new home for Google Fiber!
Mar 25, 2010
High-quality broadband networks will enable people to communicate more efficiently, and most importantly, if the quality of networks increases in city and suburban areas, it will motivate government and big corporations to invest better internet service in those people who live in rural areas, an absolute (and overdue) necessity!
Mar 25, 2010
I run my own business (Wyrick Consulting) doing on-site PC service and support work. This often involves a need to download rather large driver disks, firmware upgrades, and so forth, to bring to a client on short notice. Therefore, I have a very real business justification for the fastest Internet connection I can get to my home. (I run this from my home.)
Mar 24, 2010
please
Mar 24, 2010
St. Louis houses six influential universities, and college students are the up and coming business leaders on the web.
Mar 24, 2010
We need a fiber network in St. Louis! It would help my family because I could run my home-based business so much faster and we would have better internet connections for home-schooling. Please, Google, bring Google Fiber to St. Louis! We need more incentives to live in this great city and to bring more business to a city that has been trying so hard to improve St. Louis.
Mar 24, 2010
would be very helpful
Mar 24, 2010
We desperately need a solid high speed provider, the current competition are squabbling over superiority with speeds barely faster than my cellphone gets. A real high speed provider would gain enourmous marketshare in no time.
Mar 24, 2010
We would use high speed internet extensively at our house. By decreasing the time spent online it will allow more time to get other things done. I also feel it will help to develop the economy of the city and allow small businesses to get their products seen by consumers far more then currently is the case. Thanks google! We welcome you with open arms!
Mar 24, 2010
My wife and I own and operate an internet business and Google Fiber would be exceptionally helpful in reliability and uptime for our online assets.
Mar 24, 2010
To assist in the use of the internet in education of high school students
Mar 24, 2010
WE WANT IT NOW!!!!
Mar 24, 2010
St. Louis need competition in the board-band market. AT&T is slow to offer faster speeds and Charter is expensive and has poor customer service.
Mar 24, 2010
Networking is all a part of growth in many fields, a better networking capability, a better growth. St. Louis is the oldest city west of the Mississippi and needs more growth to regain its status as one of the top cities.
Mar 24, 2010
Being a photographer, higher speed access for me and my users would help my business significantly!
Mar 24, 2010
A lot of my childs schoolwork is getting more and more web based, even in 1st grade, this would help with downloads and make homework go much faster!
Mar 24, 2010

Mar 24, 2010
A faster connection would make an easier time of doing schoolwork, and for discovering work opportunities
Mar 24, 2010
St. Louis is a great candidate for Google Fiber. We don't have a lot of choices for Internet providers. We need a great company like Google to provide it.
Mar 24, 2010
Would be good to bring more connectivity to a state with political influence. Let's give people the opportunity to be more educated on the issues.
Mar 23, 2010
With no DVR, watching TV on the computer. Need faster connection
Mar 23, 2010
Currently starting my own company and need strong broadband and a very stable network

Mar 23, 2010
St. Louis has a lot of fiber cables already laid down. Please give us another option for our internet besides AT&T and Charter!
Mar 23, 2010
It would make school easier for my classmates and me.
Mar 23, 2010
Yee-haw!
Mar 23, 2010
We need higher Internet speeds at a reasonable price!!!
Mar 23, 2010

Mar 22, 2010

Mar 22, 2010
St Louis is the gateway to the west, and the heartbeat of America. Usually we're skipped over for things like this, but we would be a great place for Google!
Mar 22, 2010
Google Fiber would be beneficial in offering "up and coming" neighborhoods with a choice in internet service, strengthening community connections, strengthening the educational institutions, offering an incentive for business development and helping out small business owners. And that just names a few.
Mar 22, 2010
This would really help draw more tech business to St. Louis.
Mar 22, 2010
Saint Louis needs Google Fiber to stay competitive with the East and West coasts!
Mar 22, 2010
Google Fiber would provide much better access to internet without being beholden to the cable companies!
Mar 22, 2010
We would love to try this out!!
Mar 21, 2010
As a home user of the internet it would greatly enhance home entertainment possibilities with video. Google Fiber would also open unlimited potential for telecommuting and working from home. This would reduce traffic and pollution, so it is great for the environment as well. I am a Professional Engineer with a large engineering firm's St. Louis Office and it will assist our operations and encourage other technical firms and businesses to locate in St. Louis which is desperatley needed.
Mar 20, 2010
WashU could use better internet!
Mar 20, 2010

St. Louis needs innovation to attract business. Google Fiber would help our business community. More importantly education. Is it possible this would bring us together as a community?
Mar 19, 2010
Google fiber would help me work more efficiently via telecommuting. It could also help data transfer at the Washington University Medical Center where I work.

Because charter is the worst in the world, and I don't want to have to move to Korea to get decent internet connections.
Mar 18, 2010

Mar 18, 2010
I work in the health profession as an Interface Analyst. When I work from home I need fast reliable service to keep our patients first in mind. This would be a tremondus help for both individuals at home and organizations!
Mar 18, 2010
Please, please, please, please!
Mar 18, 2010
I work from home and the speeds are terrible.
Mar 18, 2010
Google Fiber would help SLU information highway with faster speed. SLU already uses google apps and with electronic records this would help the university provide many other services.
Mar 18, 2010
Faster internet= greater efficiency both for large companies and individual citizens.
Mar 18, 2010
wonderful help for our students, instructors, and staff
Mar 18, 2010
I work at a university in St. Louis and the improved data capabilities will support daily efficiencies in communication and support more uses of technology in the classroom.
Mar 18, 2010
St. Louis needs the latest and greatest to continue to attract business to the city.
Mar 18, 2010
I work for an academic institution and I think that Google Fiber would enhance all of the other Google features we use both at work and at home.
Mar 18, 2010
I don't think I need that broad of band, but I certainly wouldn't complain.
Mar 18, 2010
I'm tired of my slow dsl or cable connection and skyrocketing prices
Mar 18, 2010
please!!
Mar 18, 2010
Even here, a block from the mayor's house, we have a woefully limited choice of ISP!
Mar 18, 2010
This would be amazing benefit to the St. Louis community and Saint Louis University
Mar 18, 2010
Reliability- I would assume that, not only would it be faster but it would also be more reliable than my current provider
Mar 18, 2010
I need fiber, yo!
Mar 18, 2010
having community wide high speed internet access would be a very positive resource for the people of St. Louis. It would especially be good for the many educational institutions here.
Mar 18, 2010
Google fiber would enhance our tech core! Put it along Forest Park Parkway!!
Mar 18, 2010
WOW!
Mar 18, 2010
Our internet is slow on campus...we need something faster!
Mar 18, 2010
As a Saint Louis University Faculty member, already using Google Apps for email, documents, calendar, etc., a faster Google fiber network would really improve productivity
Mar 18, 2010
Clearly Google Fiber would benefit Saint Louis U in research, student service, and our service to the larger St. Louis community. This valuable resource has far-reaching applicaitons, for the University, for Midtown St. Louis, and for our entire city and population. Thanks for this opportunity.
Mar 18, 2010
YES, PLEASE!
Mar 18, 2010
Gone back to school at 41 to get my bachelor's degree in education, would help with studies and later on work
Mar 18, 2010
I download alot of information from the web, using reports, google searches and other web base dashboards. Having a faster internet in St. Louis will help everyone from institutions like SLU to hospitals like BJC.
Mar 18, 2010
My non-profit, Art Underground (STL) serves the artist community in St. Louis. Effective internet connections are vital for the networking and sharing of artistic opportunities and development. This would greatly help "starving artists" actually get ahead.
Mar 18, 2010
St Louis really is the ideal place to deploy Google Fiber. A robust, rebounding urban core surrounded by a vast suburban community. Start from the city center, where an entirely manageably-sized population will access Google Fiber along with an underprivileged population who can utilize this high-speed internet access to help close the information gap. Surely such infrastructure investment would help the city become even more of a draw, and other agencies would surely piggyback to help serve the community's digital needs by providing netbooks and other inexpensive computer services to a community that is partially underserved. There are a million reasons why St. Louis would be an ideal location; mostly though, it would be mutually beneficial for the community and for Google.
Mar 18, 2010
Google Fiber would help me get extensive law research done faster!
Mar 18, 2010

Mar 18, 2010
We could get so much more done, it is not even funny
Mar 18, 2010
It would provide a much needed service to the residents of Saint Louis. The existing infrastructure available to residents consists of either dialup, unreliable DSL, or extremely expensive cable modems. Fiber to the homes would provide a fast and reliable internet link that would greatly increase the potential for St Louis residents to be able to utilize voice over IP phone systems, video conferencing/telepresence, and streaming media services.
Mar 18, 2010
I teach clinical laboratory science at the university level. This is a highly technical and rapidly changing field. I consistently use the internet to gather new information for both teaching as well as maintaining my professional credentials. A high speed connection would be most beneficial.

Mar 18, 2010
Google Fiber would provide significant assistance to students in providing a high-speed link to services both on and off campus. It would allow the classroom to extend far beyond the walls of the school and provide both students and instructors with new ways of interacting and learning.
Mar 18, 2010
Anything would be better than just depending on AT & T's DSL service; it works like a snail most of the time.
Mar 18, 2010
This would be an incredible enhancement to working at home. When I telecommute, all of my work runs slower - however having Google Fiber would multiply my productivity!!
Mar 18, 2010
This would benefit our entire community
Mar 18, 2010
It will help me stay connected and be more efficient!
Mar 18, 2010

Mar 17, 2010
We need more high speed internet options.
Mar 17, 2010
Hopefully huge docs would download quicker
Mar 17, 2010
My ideas flow faster than my internet can process. My son, my wife and me are all online at once, often downloading/uploading large files or using 2 iPhones and soon an iPad.
Mar 17, 2010
F yeah
Mar 17, 2010
Let's show Google our commitment!

Mar 17, 2010
It's time that St. Louis steps up and becomes recognized for something more than the arch.
Mar 17, 2010

Mar 17, 2010
Magis
Mar 17, 2010
This makes sense for Google to come to St. Louis. The City has the name recognition and a small geographic area to minimize costs. This would be great for St. Louis!

Mar 16, 2010
AT&T and Charter cannot be our only choices.
Mar 16, 2010
better internet would help with my research. AT&T is unreliable.
Mar 16, 2010
St Louis is the midwest hub for the geospatial industry. FTTH here could fuel an explosion for spatial data on the internet in the midwest.
Mar 16, 2010
PLEASE!!!!
Mar 16, 2010
Saint Louis is a city marked by profound injustice with respect to housing, health care, and public education. Our city government hasn't been able to fix these problems. With more people in the city able to access the internet, the pro-grassroots, democratizing force of the web can have an impact on the way our community works and help get people involved to make our city more livable.
Mar 16, 2010

Mar 13, 2010

Video! Live and streaming. Or, should I say, QUALITY live and streaming video.
Mar 12, 2010
Google Fiber would help me save money (I bought a new house, so every dollar counts), would make administering my website easier, and would make weekends more enjoyable by easing online gameplay interactions. And it would be good for the region in general--everyone wants fast internet!
Mar 12, 2010
Selfishly, I'd finally be able to catch up on YouTube and Hulu shows. My current speed is horrendous, so I have to let entire eps buffer before attempting to watch. :/
Mar 12, 2010
Be great for med ctr complexes / universities - DNA genom project, electronic medical records to name 2
Mar 12, 2010
I am the liason person for my Boomers Senior group at St. Lucas United Church of Christ. I do e-mail blasts for a large number of people and do the web page for my organization.
Mar 12, 2010
I'm not worried about myself as much as the rest of the community, we can afford the service provider fees but St. Louis is filled with individuals who aren't as fortunate.
Mar 12, 2010
I'm a web developer who's rehabbing a 100-year-old house. A fiber connection would be the perfect finishing touch.

Mar 11, 2010
Google fiber would enable innovation in all of St. Louis' neighborhoods.
Mar 11, 2010
Added competition to Charter, AT&T, et al. can only help. I am willing, like a lot of people, to pay for good service and a good product. Charter and AT&T don't seem to want to provide both. And let's face it, St Louis needs some good press....
Mar 11, 2010
Being in a rural area it would be great to have access to faster internet service. Right now there is not a lot of options.
Mar 11, 2010
Our agency is about speed and connecting to our clients and our neighborhood. The LOOP district in St. Louis is one of the most unusual and vibrant mixed use avenues in the US.

Mar 11, 2010

Mar 11, 2010
Yes! We want Google fiber in St. Louis.
Mar 11, 2010
A geographically central location, low startup threshold but exceptional tallent, economically impacted by downturn (I know, who isn't), major (proximity) hub for technical universities, hospitals, former tech giants (McDonnell Douglas, Monsanto, Malencrot, etc), makes this an excellent testbed to determine impact of ultra-high bandwidth connection to internet.
Mar 11, 2010
High speed Internet such as this would mean more productivity and a higher quality of life!
Mar 11, 2010
A wonder community. Because of its set boundaries, it should be able to install the high-speed lines.

Perfect test market for this. Come on Google!
Mar 11, 2010
Google Fiber would help me become more efficient at home, work, and school!

Mar 09, 2010
As a community that is trying to bring St. Louis back to prominence, having something as powerful as Fiberoptic internet would be a HUGE boon to businesses both large and small in St. Louis, and in attracting outside businesses to move here.

Mar 09, 2010
Google Fiber would be perfect for St. Louis' substantial IT sector.
