What we like about Google Fiber

  • Reliably fast speeds – Google Fiber has symmetrical speeds, meaning if you sign up for 1,000 Mbps download speed, you’ll get the same in upload speed
  • Affordable prices – At $70 to $150/mo., Google Fiber’s plans are competitively priced
  • Freedom to roam the internet – Google Fiber doesn’t have contracts or data caps
  • Limited availability – Google Fiber is available in parts of 15 states
  • Limited options – Two plans are available to more cities, both are very fast and could be too much for a small household. The two higher speed plans are less available and might be best for a small business
  • Expensive setup cost – The one-time $300 fee is a bit steep

How we calculated our rating

How we scored internet providers

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of 1 to 5, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 180 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between 3 and 4. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.

We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Google Fiber plans and pricing

Google internet plans have four fiber internet options, with two being serviceable for most people in the coverage areas. Google Fiber 1000 offers upload and download speeds of 1,000 Mbps for $70/mo.

Google Fiber 5000 and 8000 are only available to select areas in certain cities as of late 2024.

*5 and 8 Gig plans are not available in all locations. As of 01/17/25.

Google Fiber availability

Google Fiber is only available in a limited number of cities, largely major metropolitan areas. In 2024, Google Fiber is coming to a handful of new cities in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Nevada, Missouri, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah. Growth is occurring in North Carolina and Texas as well.

Cities covered by Google Fiber

Google Fiber deals and promotions

Deals

When you sign up for the 2, 5 or 8 gig plans, you get the GFiber Wi-Fi 6E router for free, including up to two mesh extenders that can cover up to 5,000 sq. ft.

The 1 gig plan comes with Nest Wifi Pro, with one mesh extender that can cover up to 4,000 sq. ft.

Google Fiber generally doesn’t run promotions since the internet plan and free equipment are already good deals.

Google Fiber contracts, equipment and fees

Google Fiber requires some equipment to operate, but there is no installation fee. While there are no contracts, there is the potential to pay additional fees that you will want to be aware of.

  • Google Fiber contracts – Subscribers are not required to sign up for a long-term contract, so you have no early termination fees
  • Google Fiber equipment – There are no added equipment fees on Google’s monthly bill. A network box, fiber jack and router are provided at installation, which is free
  • Google Fiber cost and additional fees – A $10 service deposit is required but will be credited toward any fees charged to your account. There is also a one-time $300 construction fee, which is waived if you sign up for one year of Google Fiber. If you do have to pay the construction fee, you can choose to pay it in $25 increments rather than in a lump sum

Google Fiber installation

Google Fiber provides free installation.

Installation of your new Google Fiber internet service is a two-step process:

  1. Google Fiber installers will put a small box on the side of your home called a Network Interface Unit
  2. A few days later, a technician will install a Google Fiber Jack inside your home and complete your setup

Google Fiber internet with live TV service

Google doesn’t have its own TV service, but it does partner with streaming services like YouTube TV, fuboTV, Philo or Sling TV — four popular streaming live television services that offer a wide variety of channels, including local cable networks. 

Depending on which plan you select, bundling Google Fiber 1000 with a separate TV plan could be expensive. If you decide to cut the cable cord, you can also choose to subscribe to a live-streaming TV service separately for more control.

Compare Google Fiber to other providers

Allconnect’s broadband experts rate Google Fiber high in value, performance and customer satisfaction.

In general, Google Fiber provides better speeds at more affordable prices than its competitors, and with more flexibility thanks to unlimited data and no long-term contracts. However, it is only available in a small number of locations, which means most people do not have access to it. 

Few competitors can match Google Fiber in every category. Some provide competitive internet speeds, like Xfinity, but it costs three times as much. Most internet service providers offering plans in a similar price range offer slower speeds. Many competitors like AT&T and Cox have monthly data caps. Spectrum has no data cap and offers competitive pricing but doesn’t match the upload or download speeds of Google Fiber.
