content: The article states Google will honour all existing plans (which was only 5Mbps for 7 years free if the user pays a $300 installation fee).  Apparently they will even honour this agreement for new customers if they sign up before May 19.  Google is not backtracking on anything.  They are simply dropping an option going forward.  Those who already have it can keep it if they want. This is a hell of a lot better than my cable company that sends me letters each year telling me in order to improve the quality of my service they are upping my monthly bill only to start removing channels the following month.
