The Google Fiber Internet service is now available in two more cities in the American state of South Carolina, Tega Cay and Fort Mill, with speeds of up to 8 concerts available for residents. It is great to see that Google’s Gigabit Internet service still push new areas, but deployment still face long delays.
The deployment in Tega Cay was announced in October 2023And it was the first confirmed area in South Carolina for Google Fiber. Fort Mill City Council approved the construction and deployment of Google Fiber In May 2024. Tega Cay has a population of more than 12,000, and Fort Mill has around 24,000 residents. Both cities are suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina, which was One of the first areas of the United States With Google fiber service. He took time finally going to live, but later than ever.
The price of Google Fiber is identical in all areas, although some faster options are not implemented everywhere. The 1 gigabit service is $ 70/month, 3 concerts costs $ 100/month and 8 concerts cost $ 150/month. The three options seem to be live in the new cities.

What is Internet fiber (and how is different)?
Fiber Internet is the last change in the way data is transferred throughout the world. It is much faster than the cable, much faster than telephone access, and can transport large amounts of data in a single line, often reaching multiple data transfer terabitits quite easily.
Google Fiber said in a blog post: “With speeds of up to 8 concerts, whether you are transmitting its favorite programs, working from home, games online or all of the above, our fast and reliable life Internet products are available to keep up with your life, GFIBER can be kept up to date and then some. As always, all products come with all the equipment you need and without annual data limits or contracts. […] If we are not yet in your direction, we will keep it informed as we continue to expand our network. “
He Process to build Google fiber infrastructure It implies building ‘aggregation sites’ (or a ‘presence point’) in a local area, then building a fiber cable ring that surrounds a certain city to branch the service in any neighborhood. The branches eventually connect to a ‘fiber cabin’ switchboard, then execute more fiber cables to an LCP cabinet in a neighborhood, then configure the final cables for houses. These fiber optic cables may be underground or attached to public services posts, and the excavation of fiber cable lines is almost always required for the final connection to the houses.
Building all this infrastructure takes a long time, especially the excavation of underground connections. Google has also faced legal attacks of Existing Internet services suppliers In several areas, because they In fact I don’t like the new competition. In areas where fiber lines cannot reach customers, Google Fiber uses wireless implementations known as Google Fiber WebPass, as a more specialized version of 5G Home Internet.
