Google already provides many of us with email addresses and phone numbers, but are you ready for Google to become your ISP? If the new Google ultra high speed Internet connection trial goes well, you might be able to enjoy 1 GB per second Internet connections to your home and all at what they are calling competitive rates. To put the speed in perspective, 1 GB per second is roughly 100 times faster than most home connections available today.

This might seem like a joke, given that Google is best known as a search company and had once mounted a prank campaign called TiSP, which promised to give consumers free wireless internet with fiber optic cable run through their toilet. But this is the real deal.
