Why would the corporation Google be any more trustworthy with this than any other ISP?


Most notably, in the areas where Google Fiber has been operating, other ISP's have provided similar speeds for similar costs, exposing the reality that they've been deliberately throttling their speeds so they can charge more for minor incremental upgrades, rather than for any technical reasons. Google's certainly done their share of shady business, but as far as their track record as an ISP goes, they've generally been less eager to rip consumers off than others, which is unfortunately pretty rare and commendable in the telecom world. That's a field where collusion to avoid legitimate competition is the norm, and Google bucked that trend.

Mostly, though, it's hard to be any less trustworthy than the major ISP's.
