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 built the internet provider we wanted for ourselves—a service designed to be the lifeblood of your home without the usual internet company headaches.Choosing GFiber means choosing a partner that gets you. We’ve never had negative tactics like data caps, hidden fees, or price hikes. Whether you need a simple, no-fuss product or boundary-defying speed for your most ambitious projects, we provide an internet connection that works as hard as you do. We’re not just an ISP; we’re the new standard for connection.


Unlike providers that rely on hybrid networks, GFiber is built on 100% fiber-optic infrastructure.The GFiber Difference:
  • 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.⁵ Plus, we don’t charge you for in-home service or repairs.
  • Our pricing stays consistent. Our Core 1 Gig has been the same price since 2012, while competitors use introductory rates that explode.
  • Unlike other providers, the latest Wi-Fi 7 equipment is standard in Home and Edge and 6E is standard in Core, without any premium equipment add-on fees.⁶ That means with GFiber you can get up to 3.4 gigs over wireless across your home.

GFiber delivers a 100% fiber-to-the-home network⁶ with symmetrical upload and download speeds.Independent surveys and tests score GFiber higher on customer satisfaction when it comes to speed and reliability.  GFiber delivers speeds from 1 gig up to 8 gig (with 20 gig in trial), with the latest Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 equipment included.

GFiber delivers the lowest cost per Mbps of speed with consistent pricing. Our 1 Gig product 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 adding products you might not want or need. We don’t charge for equipment or services you need to make your internet work.While Xfinity may offer lower introductory rates, those prices typically increase significantly after a limited time promotional period. GFiber pricing remains predictable with no "rate hikes" after the first year, or ever.


We made switching simple—GFiber products include free professional installation, with performance verification, and equipment included. Check to see if we can serve your address. Learn more about the installation process here.

  • 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.
  • 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.⁷
