I've never heard of this "level 5" business, but it sounds important.

Google did it in a few select locations to stimulate broadband markets from which they benefit. They have had good service from what I've heard, but they've been beating this drum for years and remain very inactive with laying anywhere near as much fiber as they have promised. This is another trap. They say stuff like this every few years to try to rouse the broadband giants, but I do not believe they have good intentions.
