they are still working on it. I believe they just got FCC approval to use the already existing telephone poles or wiring or something like that. This should help them tremendously.

Slowly ... very slowly expanding.
Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Salt Lake City will be the next cities to get it.

I would hope not. The speed of sound is quite slow.

[h1]Google officially unveils Project Fi, a refreshing new wireless service [/h1]
324
Apr 22nd 2015 by Quentyn Kennemer
Looks like the rumors were true, folks — this is Project Fi, Google’s wireless carrier. The Mountain View company laid all the details out on a brand new landing page today.
A lot of the details brought to surface by recent leaks seem to have been spot on. Here’s what to expect from each facet of Google’s new wireless service:
[h3]The Network[/h3][h3]The Plan[/h3]
- Automatically identify and connect to the fastest and most reliable network, whether that’s a public or private WiFi hotspot, or a network of a carrier partner (Sprint or T-Mobile)
- All transmissions over WiFi networks are automatically and fully encrypted
[h3]The Experience[/h3]
- Start with a basic plan of $20 per month that includes unlimited domestic talk and text, unlimited international texts, low-cost international calls and WiFi tethering.
- Add data by the gigabyte at a rate of $10 per 1GB.
- Don’t use all the data you added in a billing period? $1 per 100 unused megabytes is refunded to you.
- International data costs the same at home as it does in 120 other international destinations (though you may be limited to 2G and 3G when abroad).
Sound like something you want to be part of? You can head right here to request an invite to check it out ahead of its full launch.
- Calls and texts can be made over WiFi in case you don’t have cellular coverage.
- Calls can be routed from WiFi to cellular networks and vice versa without interruption if you happen to drift away from a signal
- You can also make calls and send texts using your phone number with any device that has Hangouts, including your tablet, a different phone or your computer.
There are a couple of caveats to note before you jump in head first. The first is that you’ll need to buy a Nexus 6 as it’s the only smartphone that supports the new technology Google is using to make this possible. The Nexus 6 you may already own from Motorola, Google Play or your carrier counts, or you can buy one when signing up for Fi service.
You’ll also need to make sure Google’s carriers partners have sufficient service in your area, though this is no tall order as they’ll ask for your zip code before whisking you through the setup process.
Developing…

True, although they do refund you for all unused data. That's kinda ill.$10/GB?

[COLOR=#red]Project Fi, Google's new wireless service has horrible pricing structure. Plus they're only teaming up with T-Mobile and Sprint to use their coverage. Let's see how far this goes.

I'll stick with the $30 T-Mobile plan, it's good to have some options though.

Ehhh. Unlimted talk, text, and 5GB of data can be had via T-Mobile for 30$ and this is piggybacking off the T-Mobile network. Pass

Same.
My N5 has been restarting and optimizing the apps on its own since yesterday. Tried cleaning the power button but that didn't help. Ever since I updated to 5.0 I've been having little issues such as the camera and certain apps crashing or not even launching.

[COLOR=#red]My thoughts exactly. Granted they will rollover your unused data and it seamlessly switches you from cell network to pre-vetted wifi access points, it still seems a little half-baked. Google should have taken a little more time with this IMO.
