Google Fiber has announced that its new 20 Gig + Wi-Fi 7 plan will be available to select customers for $250 per month, not including applicable taxes and fees.
The new tier, which Google teased back in November, is starting in Kansas City, North Carolina’s Triangle Region, Arizona, and Iowa, with installations scheduled to begin in Q1.
Here’s what Nick Saporito, Google Fiber’s head of product, has said about the supported Wi-Fi 7 router, designed in collaboration with Actiontec, a company that describes itself as offering superior Wi-Fi products:
it’s fast across the board and enables multiple devices to take advantage of multi-gig speeds, even over Wi-Fi and across multiple floors — which is important because the vast majority of our in-home internet connections happen over Wi-Fi. GFiber collaborated with Actiontec to design and produce a custom, pre-certified Wi-Fi 7 router, even before the Wi-Fi 7 standards are finalized, to ensure that our 20 Gig customers can take advantage of as much of the speed as possible.
And here’s a demo video with Saporito, showing off some of the speeds that users can expect out of the service:
In a separate post, Google Fiber announced that customers across Utah (Salt Lake City & Provo), Austin, TX, and the Triangle region in North Carolina can now sign up for 8 Gig service, which costs $150/mo:
Our 8 Gig product offers symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 8000 Mbps with a wired connection, a router (or you can use your own), up to two mesh extenders and professional installation, for $150/month. This speed can make internet connection feel almost instantaneous.
Other Google Fiber plans include 5 Gig and 2 Gig, which cost $125/mo. and $100/mo., respectively.
Google Fiber starts at $70/mo. (1 Gig).
