Welcome to Google TiSP: Google’s on a roll this morning.
Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines.
TiSP stands for “Toilet Internet Service Provider.” But why lowercase the “i” — why would “Internet” be lowercase while “Service” isn’t?
Funny quote here:
“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.”

end-to-end system.. good one.
wow.
o.O
Google offering wireless broadband service isn’t too surprising. I expected Google to make a move in ISP filed for a while, especially dedicated Internet access lines. Their recent acquisitions of dark fiber and Internet hosting start-ups is indication to that. This April fool joke might be just a hint of Google’s more realistic plans for the near future!
Karl, http://highspeed-internet-provider.com offers quotes from broadband providers suited to your connectivity needs.
Hmm … I figured my BlackBerry was already a TiSP … wonder if Google will make a mobile app for theirs?
This a joke. Google doesnt need any more adveritising. They are a great company already. http://t1-lines.net
