Google is preparing to launch its high-speed internet service that will offer users an impressive speed of 20 Gbps. However, this service will currently only be available in a few cities.
In October, Google first announced it would offer speeds of 20 Gbps through its Google Fiber service. Today the company announced that the new 20 Gig plan is now available in certain cities compatible with Google Fiber services. However, it is the price that could put off more than one person.
As with other Wi-Fi 7 compatible devices currently on the market, a high price was to be expected. Google announces this The monthly subscription is offered to users for a minimum of $250 per monthwhich is much more than the company's other packages.
Google Fiber makes its 20Gbps offerings available, but not for everyone
Google's 20Gbps Internet service, enabled by Google's GFiber Labs, positions itself at the forefront of residential connectivity. The initial rollout will cover specific regions including Kansas City, North Carolina (Triangle region), Arizona and Iowa. This high-speed offering coincides with Google's significant infrastructure improvements through the deployment of state-of-the-art Nokia 25G passive optical networks (PONs), which connect directly to customers' homes.
By comparison, Google recently made its 5Gbps Internet service available for $125 per month in Huntsville, Alabama, with previous limited deployments in places like Kansas City, West Des Moines and the Chicagoland metropolitan area. Salt Lake City. The company also offers 8Gbps internet service for $150 per month, which was first announced last year. Note that too Google Fiber's Gigabit tier retains its $70 monthly pricethe same price since its introduction in Kansas City in 2012.
While 5Gbps and 8Gbps services should enable simultaneous file downloads and near real-time internet experiences, the 20Gbps tier takes connectivity to a new level. Google promises simultaneous multi-gig connections across multiple floors incorporating Wi-Fi 7 hardware, expanding the boundaries of home internet options. We really hope that Google will one day launch its GFiber service in France.
