Google to Test Fiber Optic Internet Access in the US

Google recently announced plans to begin testing fiber-to-the-home internet service across the country. For those unfamiliar, fiber-to-the-home is an incredibly fast way of accessing the internet (100 + times faster than average speeds) via fiber optic cables. Fiber service is available in bigger cities; however, most rural areas have been ignored.

Currently, Google is accepting nominations for communities to begin testing the fiber service in. So, if you’re interested in seeing something like this come to the area, visit this link, click get involved, and fill out the application.

Here’s a video provided by Google on their plans:

    This is a great initiative.

    We currently provide fiber service to San Francisco metro areas, looking to expand our service further.

    Thanks for the info.
