Researchers from Nokia and GFiber Labs (the experimental arm of Google Fiber) successfully achieved 41.89 Gbps download speeds on a live Google Fiber network. This marks the first time that Nokia's 50G PON (passive optical network) technology has been used on a Google-owned network, and its one of the only examples of live 50 Gig networking in the United States.

Getting customers to have a faster internet connection should mean that they visit more sites/do more searches which should mean more ad impressions, which should mean more pathways to revenue generation for Google. Customers not having access to fast internet is an impudence to Google's future revenue generation.
