Google Fiber Coverage and Availability

Google Fiber isn’t widely available, but you can find it in 27 major cities. Google Fiber's fixed-wireless Webpass service is also available in seven cities or metro areas. 

In 2024, Google Fiber expanded access to parts of South Carolina, Nebraska, and Idaho. It also plans to break ground in Nevada in 2025. “We want to grow in the areas we’ve already committed to," says Angie Welling, Google Fiber's general manager of expansion. "Both by building in as much as the original cities while also expanding to nearby communities, while also committing to entirely new locations,” she adds.

Most of the “Fiber Cities” where you can get Google Fiber offer plans ranging in speed from 1Gbps to 8Gbps, with prices starting at $70 a month for the cheapest plan. Orange County, California and Atlanta, Georgia only offer speeds up to 2Gbps. And interestingly, you can find a slightly different set of plans in three cities—Huntsville, Alabama and Nashville and Smyrna in Tennessee.

In those cities, customers can currently choose from a streamlined selection of plans: Core 1 Gig ($70/mo.), Home 3 Gig ($100/mo.), and Edge 8 Gig ($150/mo.). A spokesperson for Google Fiber recently told The Verge that there would be "more to share" about these plan options in 2025.

Here are all of the cities where Google Fiber is currently available:

Google Fiber also offers its Webpass service in the following cities:

• San Francisco County, California
• Oakland/East Bay, California
• San Diego, California
• Denver, Colorado
• Miami, Florida
• Chicago, Illinois
• Seattle, Washington

You might not be able to sign up for Google Fiber in your neighborhood if Google Fiber’s network is still being constructed or Google Fiber does not currently have a build-out planned for your area. According to the official Google Fiber Help website, the sign-up period could also be closed or your property owner hasn’t yet signed up for an access agreement.

Google Fiber has been expanding to include tens of thousands of new addresses in new and existing cities, as detailed on the provider's blog. “We’re always evaluating new opportunities to introduce GFiber to more communities,” says Angie Welling, general manager of expansion at Google Fiber. “Today we are actively working in over 150 municipalities across 19 states.”

I tuned into Alphabet’s 2024 Q3 Earnings call in October 2024 to see if there were any public announcements about large-scale expansions, but there were no concrete details on the expected timing of future rollouts.

In the meantime, Google Fiber is available or will be available soon in the following states:

Google Fiber first launched in 2010 and ended up pausing fiber expansion for five years after a rocky start with failed “nano-trenching” construction techniques, saturated fiber markets, and disputes with competitors and local governments.

During this period, Google Fiber deployed a fixed-wireless service called Webpass in areas where it planned to install fiber. Google Fiber Webpass is similar to T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet service, only it’s available strictly to customers living in apartments, condos, or smaller homes.

While it's offered under the Google Fiber brand and delivers gigabit speeds, it’s not a fiber connection. Still, the Webpass plans get up to 100Mbps to 1,000Mbps for both download and upload speeds for $50 to $70 per month, which is a decent price for top speeds. 

Google Fiber’s internet plans cost between $70 and $150 for customers in all regions, with symmetrical upload and download speeds ranging from 1,000 to 8,000Mbps.

Google Fiber Webpass costs $50 to $70 a month for 100 to 1,000Mbps symmetrical speeds. Prices vary depending on your location.

Google Fiber tops all sorts of charts on Reviews.org, winning the spot for our Best Internet Provider overall and Best Internet for Gaming. That being said, Google Fiber isn’t the most affordable internet available. Although the plans pack a ton of value and rates have stayed the same price since the provider launched in 2012, the provider's multi-gigabit packages and subsequent higher prices aren’t necessary for having a decent online experience.

In some areas like North Carolina’s Research Triangle, San Antonio, or Kansas City, you might have the option to get AT&T’s well-rated fiber service instead. AT&T’s cheapest fiber plan delivers 300Mbps symmetrical speeds for $55 per month, which is plenty of internet speed for even a large household. 

You could also get a lower monthly rate with a good cable provider like Xfinity, Cox, or Spectrum, which offer fast download speeds to support the average household’s internet activity. Alternatively, you can get a flat-rate, no-strings-attached internet plan with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.
