Fiber is Google’s Internet service that has a “connection that’s up to 100 times faster than today’s basic broadband speeds,” according to Google. The service will next come to Atlanta, Nashville and two North Carolina cities: Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte. That’s a grand total of 18 communities, Google announced on its Fiber blog.
Right now, the service — which was introduced in 2012 — is only available in Kansas City, Mo., as well as Austin, Texas, and Provo, Utah. Google has been very deliberate with its expansion of the service, carefully selecting the metro areas that it deems worth enough for Fiber. The four cities getting Google Fiber were already on Google’s list for the “future of Fiber.”
