Nuked Greetings everyone! I’m Nuked and I have some exciting news to share with you.
Google Fiber has just announced that their 5-gig internet service is now rolling out in three cities: Kansas City, West Des Moines, and the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. Late last year, they started testing limited access to Fiber’s faster 5-gig and even 8-gig packages for some customers in those same areas.
This 5 Gbps offering comes with an optional Wi-Fi 6 router, up to two mesh extenders, professional installation, and even upgrades homes to be 10Gbps-ready. And the best part is that it only costs $125 a month!
This is a big upgrade from current 1- to 2.5-gigabit offerings as it offers symmetrical upload and download speeds for those who work heavily in the cloud with large files. Google is also working to expand service to more cities and will eventually offer 8-gigabit-plus speeds.
Companies like Frontier and Optimum are also offering 5 Gbps service, albeit for a higher price. Meanwhile, Comcast says they’re close to launching “10G” multi-gig service (2 Gbps up and down) in select markets.
So if you live in one of these areas, you’re lucky enough to get access to this awesome new service!
