Google Fiber (GFiber) has announced its plans to launch a new ultra-fast 20-gigabit internet service in the Triangle market. With speeds unrivaled by any other commercially available service in the area, users can expect reduced latency and faster video streaming and gaming experiences.
The service is not cheap, coming in at a price of $250 per month. While this makes it one of the more expensive internet options in the area, GFiber’s head of product, Nick Saporito, believes that the price tag offers a lot of speed for the cost and will enable innovators to push boundaries.
Orders for the 20-gigabit service are now being taken, with installations set to begin in the first quarter of 2024. Alongside the lightning-fast speeds, the service includes a faster version of Wi-Fi known as Wi-Fi 7. This will ensure that users can make the most of their connectivity and enjoy seamless online experiences.
The increased capacity of the 20-gig service will especially benefit applications that are latency-sensitive, such as gaming. With GFiber’s broadband network providing networking gear for the service, users will be able to enjoy simultaneous multi-gigabit streams.
Google also offers an 8-gigabit service at a lower price of $150 per month, providing options for those who don’t require the full 20-gigabit speed. However, for those who demand the absolute best, GFiber’s 20-gigabit offering is unrivaled.
The Triangle market, which includes areas such as Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, is one of the first markets to receive GFiber’s 20-gigabit service. Other early markets include Kansas City, Arizona, and Iowa, showcasing Google’s commitment to expanding its high-speed internet offerings across the United States.
Overall, GFiber’s introduction of its ultra-fast 20-gigabit internet service in the Triangle market promises to revolutionize internet connectivity in the area. With unmatched speeds and the potential for improved online experiences, users can look forward to a new era of internet connectivity.
