Large swaths of the Bay Area can get gigabit internet.. especially at offices where the startups will be performing their work. I&#x27;m at a non-tech company with ~100 employees in the Presidio and a speedtest runs at 220mbps.<p>There&#x27;s been a slow roll-out to consumers, but much of SF is now covered by Webpass, Sonic, Monkeybrains, etc.  Even Comcast is offering multiple-hundred mbps cable internet now. The number of techies who are materially impacted by 200mbps vs. 1,000mbps is so small to be irrelevant when talking about regional startup trends.
