Google Set to Expand Its Ultra-Fast Internet Service to More U.S. Cities admin Friday, February 21, 2014 Credits & Debits, The Receipt If your at-home DSL wi-fi service is slower than a turtle’s pace, then Google may soon have a better option for you. According to the Associated Press, Google plans to expand its ultra-fast internet service to 34 additional cities. “Google Fiber” spokesperson stated at a recent press conference that fiber-optic driven service may soon be available for installation in cities such as: Atlanta, various areas in and around San Francisco, Phoenix, San Antonio, and Portland, Oregon. What makes “Google Fiber” so much faster? The use of fiber-optic cable instead of the copper lines that transmit online data. With Google Fiber, customers will be able to surf the internet up to 100 times faster than most broadband services. They even praises its ability for customers to download an entire movie in less than two hours. As of now, Google Fiber is only offered in Kansas City and Provo, Utah. The cost of the service is currently $70 per month for high-speed internet service. Package bundles, which include 100 high-definition cable channels, costs $120 per month. A final announcement of its expansion is due later this year. But, it can take at least two years before the service is actually offered in those cities.
