- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- We don’t make you figure out how much speed or bandwidth you need, like some kind of "Gbps-to-life" math test. Our products are designed around how you live. Get speed and features that work for you at a price that hasn’t changed.
- Customer-centric support: GFiber makes it simple to find help digitally or talking with a person, whichever works best for you. GFiber pairs nationally recognized digital tools with a support team that treats every customer like a person, not a ticket number. It’s an approach designed to make managing internet service simple, backed by experts who are ready to help whenever they're needed. When you call us, you’ll talk to a real person in about 9 seconds or less.[4] Plus, we don’t charge you for in-home service or repairs.
- Our pricing stays consistent. Our 1 Gig has been the same monthly price since it launched in 2012, while typical competitors use introductory rates that explode or have a pattern of rate increases. Plus at GFiber even our pricing shows our loyalty to customers: we don’t have deals that treat new customers better than current ones – that is just not right
- Unlike other providers, we don’t have additional fees for equipment. And the very latest Wi-Fi 7 equipment is standard in Home and Edge and 6E is standard in Core, without any equipment add-on fees. That means with GFiber you can get up to 3.4 gigs even over wireless.
- At GFiber, we give you more value while keeping the price the same. For instance, in Des Moines we recently increased speeds across the board, tripling our Core 1 Gig service to 3 Gig, increasing Home 3 Gig to 5 Gig, and giving Edge 8 Gig customers a router upgrade to double their Wi-Fi speeds! Has Metronet (now T-Fiber) done that?
- GFiber wins consumer and industry awards year after year. GFiber has been named Best Overall by Reviews.org.
- The gold standard for fiber technology. Forbes Home has named GFiber the Best Fiber Internet for three consecutive years (2024–2026), and Reviews.org has crowned GFiber the Best Fiber Provider for 2025 and 2026.
- Additionally, GFiber was named 2025's Best Overall Internet Provider in the US by HighSpeedInternet.com.
- And we are most proud and grateful for how our customers feel about us. See what our customers have to say.
- Signature installation: Our expert technicians provide a white-glove setup that includes in-home and remote diagnostics to ensure your Wi-Fi is good to go on day one.
- Special installation experience: In-home consult and hardwiring (using your home's existing wiring) of up to two high use areas like a home office or gaming station, if eligible.
- Access it in-app: The GFiber App is the simplest way to see who’s connected, run a speed test, check your network connections, self-serve to optimize your Wi-Fi, or engage with our team.
- 24/7 health monitoring: We automate a health report for your system and give you full visibility of this report in the GFiber App. We monitor and catch issues before you notice them.
- Rapid support: If you do need to reach out to us, you’ll connect to a real person in 9 seconds on average.[4]
- Reliability options: The internet doesn’t have to go down just because of a power outage. With battery backup options for internet equipment—included with Edge 8 Gig and available for Home 3 Gig—GFiber keeps customers connected, even when the grid has other plans.[6]
