Google is an ISP now.

Google Fiber launches in Kansas City, promises 1000 Mbps up and down | The Verge

The Google monster spreads it's influence wider and to my knowledge in a new area. They are offering......1000mbps up and down, though only within Kansas it would seem.

My question to the experts. Apart from 'closed' systems, such as the trading networks used in the financial world where microseconds count, it is my understanding that contention issues aside, the user's speed will only be as quick as the speed of the websites/games/service that is connected, or am I erring ?
