Google TiSP – your FREE in-home wireless boradband!
The Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) project is a self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system.
Google has finally done it. They have announced free in-home boradband wireless!
The free kit that you can send away for contains everything to you going. Unfortunately if you are on a septic system, you are ineligible for the service as the fiber optic cable that is connected to the in-home wireless router must be sent through the sewer system.
They offer three levels of service.
The Trickle: Free with 8 Mbps.
The #2: $9.95/mo with 16 Mbps.
Royal Flush: $24.95/mo with 32 Mbps.
Pretty good deal.
“I couldn’t be more excited about, and am only slightly grossed out by, this remarkable new product,” said Marissa Mayer, Google’s Vice President of Search Products and User Experience. “I firmly believe TiSP will be a breakthrough product, particularly for those users who, like Larry himself, do much of their best thinking in the bathroom.”
You can sign up at this page; I recommend you do so now before the rush. If you want to know more, you can read their Frequently Asked Questions or the How it Works and Install Guide. Get on this before it becomes backordered!
Why is TiSP in beta?
When things go wrong with TiSP, they go very, very wrong. Let’s leave it at that.
ADDENDUM: For all you Gmail fans: Google has also introduced Google Paper! Google will print up any of your gmail for free and send you the paper copies! Even get your photos printed up on high quality photo paper!
Is there a limit?
You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It’s whatever seems reasonable to you
Ahem. Please note the date. I like Google.

I am so excited about Google’s TiSP system! Before I subscribe I first have a question: does it come with any plunger add-ons or do I have to install those separately?
As you can see, I am technically impaired. Answering this question will undoubtedly save Google’s customer help line many “I double flushed, now what? types of phone calls.

Awesome! I knew moving to the city was a good idea! Do you think it’s compatible with my 2006 plunger model?

Matt Jones Said:
I do believe all plunger add-ons must be purchased separately and will not be covered under that service plan. I think they are trying to stay away from all “double flushed” problems, especially in their #2 plan.
Ohhh, I’m sorry Julia, I think you will have to upgrade to the 2007 model. Forced obsolescence, eh?

The problem is, I live in a condo, so I sould be sharing bandwitdth. And with 30 units, you can imagine there might be some back-ups.

Matt Jones Said:
Well Tony that is part of the genius!
Yeah, I imagine backups could be a serious issue, especially with your download rate…
