Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

The infrastructure google wants access to was most likely built using building permits based on each company's ILEC/PUC status, i.e. it was built for the public good and received special treatment and lower pricing as a result.
Google, get yourself a lawyer, pull the BPs...
You guys must live in some kind of protected bubble where information doesn't reach.
Both Internet and mobile phone services suck in the US, and they're more expensive.
There are no "excuses" to be found, except monopoly of one version or another, price fixing etc. Competition drives margins...
