Google will bring the service to some apartments,
condos and affordable housing properties in San Francisco, the search giant
said in a blog post Wednesday. But the rollout comes with a catch.
Instead of laying down the necessary fiber from
scratch, which is a time-consuming process, Google will use existing fiber
networks to try to deploy the service more quickly. However, this means only
certain sections of San Francisco will qualify. Areas without existing fiber
are out of luck for now.
Google Fiber is the company's effort to rev up
Internet access in the United States, where average speeds are lower than in
many other countries. Faster Internet performance would be a boon to consumers
and businesses alike, for everything from shopping to streaming movies.
Google's not alone in the quest. Other providers, such as Comcast and AT&T
are also looking to offer higher-speed Internet access.
At 1 gigabit per second -- or 1,000 megabits per
second -- Google Fiber is significantly faster than the average Internet
connection in the US, which was measured at 12.6 megabits per second in the
third quarter of 2015, according to network provider Akamai. Internet access
through Google Fiber costs $70 per month.
This isn't the first time Google will use an
existing network to launch its fiber service. In Provo, Utah, Google Fiber
travels over a network the company bought from the city. In Atlanta, Google
uses existing fiber to offer its service to certain apartment buildings. And
Monday, the company said it will offer Google Fiber in Huntsville, Alabama,
using part of a network the city plans to build.
