FAQs


We hear you, and we’re working hard to get fiber to you. We're currently in an ambitious expansion phase, building out our network town by town and adding addresses every dayHere’s the best way to help us get to your home:
  1. Sign up for updates: If you have checked your address and we do not yet serve your location, please sign up for our updates. This adds your address to our interest list, which we use to help prioritize where we build next.
  2. Tell your neighbors: Encourage them to check their address and sign up, too. The more interest there is, the more likely we will be able to invest in your neighborhood sooner.
  3. Watch your inbox: We’ll be in touch as soon as  GFiber is available to you. You don’t need to keep checking your address online, unless you change your email or move.


Switching to GFiber is easy and starts with checking for service availability at your address at fiber.google.com.
  • If your home is fiber-ready: Installation can happen as soon as tomorrow—or maybe even today if you want to connect the equipment yourself.
  • If your neighborhood is ready but your home isn't: It may take a few days to bring the fiber network to your property. Watch our what happens next to see how it works.
  • If we aren't in your town yet: Construction can take a few weeks or months. If you’re curious about how we build, check out our video overview of the process: What is Microtrenching? | GFiber


GFIber has a signature installation and ongoing quality assurance program that we dare say is second-to-none. We validate this in three ways:
  • Performance verification at installation: When your professional tech installs your GFiber Wi-Fi router and back-up battery, they run our signature battery tests that are required for quality control. This confirms you get the speeds you signed up for.
  • Performance monitoring (ongoing): We constantly run remote diagnostics across our network to identify any performance issues and ensure your connection consistently delivers fast, symmetrical speeds.
  • The GFiber App: Get real time notifications about your system health and run your own speed tests right in the app. 
  • Third-party validation: GFiber pays close attention to speeds reported by third party sites, including Ookla, highspeedinternet.com, PCMag and other trusted companies that measure internet performance, as well as tests run daily by our customers.


You can try GFiber on a month-to-month basis. We offer the freedom to choose us, because we know contracts are stifling and inconvenient—so we don’t have them. Our customers will tell you how much they love their service, just as much as we love what we’ve built into it. You’re free to try us out when you are ready to experience the #1 internet service for customer satisfaction.


We didn’t just build a better network; we built the internet provider we wanted for ourselves. While other companies offer fiber, we provide GFiber internet—a service designed to be the lifeblood of your home without the usual industry shenanigans.Choosing GFiber means choosing a partner that gets you. We’ve never had confusing tactics like data caps, hidden fees, and "exploding" promotional rates and instead favor our transparent pricing and a future-proof connection. Whether you need a simple, no-fuss product or boundary-defying speeds for your most ambitious projects, we provide symmetrical uploads and downloads that work as hard as you do. We’re not just an ISP; we’re next-gen internet for the next generation. 


Both GFiber and AT&T Fiber use fiber-optic technology, which delivers fast, reliable internet with symmetrical upload and download speeds. The real difference is how we built and engineered our fiber network to minimize lag⁷ and to optimize the architecture for internet delivery to your home—and equipment inside your home—and above all how we treat you after you sign up. We’ve replaced typical industry headaches with a "no shenanigans" approach to your internet.The GFiber Difference:
  • Simplicity at every step: We don’t make you try to translate how much speed or bandwidth you need, like some kind of "Gbps-to-life" math test. Our products are built around how you actually live, embedded with the speed *and* features that work for you, from the no-fuss Core 1 Gig to the boundary-defying, tech-rich Edge 8 Gig.
  • Human-first support: We value your time. When you call us, you’ll talk to a real person in about 10 seconds.⁸ Plus, we don’t charge you for in-home service or repairs.
  • Fairness is standard: If there's an extraordinary outage, we issue credits automatically. No calling in to ask for that. We know an outage of any kind is disruptive. While rare with GFiber, any outage is unacceptable.
  • No "exploding" bills: Our pricing is transparent and stays that way. Our 1 Gig product has been the same price since 2012, while competitors often use introductory rates that hike up after a year, or raise their rates annually despite the lack of any additional value.
  • Premium gear included: The latest Wi-Fi equipment comes standard with our products, without any monthly add-on fees.
GFiber focuses on straightforward high-speed service with no annual contracts, no data caps, and no nonsense.  Ready to ditch the ISP drama? Explore our internet products.


Independent surveys and tests score GFiber higher on customer satisfaction when it comes to speed and reliability.  GFiber delivers speeds starting at 1 Gig and going up to 8 Gig. Additionally, unlike AT&T⁹, GFiber includes the latest Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 tech as standard in its products, including 10 gig ports (one for LAN and one for WAN) and 3 additional multi-gig LAN ports on the GFiber Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 7 Router. See fiber.google.com/wifi for more on the advantages of this breakthrough in Wi-Fi performance.


GFiber delivers the lowest cost per Mbps of speed with pricing that’s simple and predictable.Our 1 Gig plan starts at a flat monthly rate of $70/month, and we’ve kept that price steady since 2012. We don't use "exploding" promotional discounts that hike up your bill after 12 months (or ever), or offer lower pricing for taking products you might not want or need, or charge for equipment or services you need to make your internet work.AT&T Fiber may offer bundle discounts, but pricing structures can vary depending on speed, promotions, and bundled services.


Yes, switching is simple. GFiber products include free professional installation, with performance verification, extra features included, and all the equipment you need. Check to see if we can serve your address. At a lot of addresses, you can even self-install.  After your GFiber installation is complete, you’ll just need to cancel your existing service. Learn more about the installation process here.


We don’t do the typical "bundle" dance because we believe the best perk is internet that just works. While other providers distract you with temporary streaming trials, we invest in a premium service experience that stays with you.The GFiber Service Perks:
  • Signature installation: Our expert technicians don't just "drop off" a box; they provide a white-glove setup that includes in-home and remote diagnostics to ensure your Wi-Fi is optimized from day one.
  • Priority room hardwiring: If you’re eligible and need a connection for a home office or gaming rig, we can hardwire priority rooms as part of your free installation using your home's existing wiring.
  • Total control with the app: The GFiber App is the simplest way to see who’s connected, run a quick speed test, manage your Wi-Fi network, and check on your mesh equipment for optimal whole-home coverage.
  • 24/7 health monitoring: We continually monitor your network’s health and give you full visibility through the GFiber App, catching many issues before you even notice them.
  • Rapid human support: When you call us, you’ll talk to a real person in under 10 seconds on average.
  • Automatic outage credits: If things go wrong, we make it right. We issue credits for extraordinary outages automatically, so you don’t have to spend your afternoon on a support chat.
  • Reliability options: For those who need to stay connected even when the lights go out, we offer battery backup options for your equipment.
Rather than a "limited-time" offer, you get a consistently great experience. Find the right product for your lifestyle.
