Google Fiber Is Coming To Five More US States

Google has confirmed that its Fiber services will expand to five new states in the US. The division’s CEO, Dinni Jain, confirmed the news at the “What’s next for Google Fiber” event.

Google Fiber is one of the company’s most ignored services, and many users don’t even know about its existence. There was no news of Fiber for a long time, and many people believed Google had killed it. However, Google Fiber is expanding to five new states to provide users with a high-speed broadband internet service.

As per the company announcement, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, and Nevada will be added to the Google Fiber support list in the next several years. “We’re talking to city leaders in the following states, with the objective of bringing Google Fiber’s fiber-to-the-home service to their communities.” Dinni Jain said.

Google Fiber is expanding to five new states

Jain says these five new states will be their main focus for growth for the next several years. Also, the company is working on expanding Fiber services in the current metro areas.

Google Fiber is currently available in 14 US states, including Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

In the last few years, Google Fiber has gone through several changes. First, the company abandoned the traditional TV service for Chromecast with Google TV. Then, their Fiber focus was directed to gigabit service instead of offering a 100Mbps plan. Google Fiber also started to offer a 2 Gig service last year with a new Wi-Fi 6 router.

Moreover, Dinni Jain said they love talking to “communities that want to build their own fiber networks”. This strategy worked well in Huntsville and West Des Moines.

Besides Google Fiber’s efforts to expand in the country, the Biden administration recently passed a $45 billion plan to expand broadband internet access in the United States. The bill provides 20 of the country’s largest ISPs with sufficient funds to offer US citizens high-speed and affordable broadband internet.
