What is Google Fiber (gFiber)?
For households that want fiber and straightforward monthly pricing. Plans start at $70 for 1 Gig, with equipment included and no data cap. Check your exact address first.
Google Fiber, now branded gFiber, offers home internet over a fiber network in select cities. Its published residential lineup includes 1, 3 and 8 Gig plans. Upload and download limits match on each tier. The included router varies by plan, so compare both the connection and the equipment before choosing. Availability remains the deciding factor: a city listing does not confirm service at your building.
