Google Fiber Installs Not Going Well

October 27, 2016

Too bad Google fiber isn't coming to our neighborhood. Google Fiber is being delayed to previously announced cities as well. Besides cutting staff, Google is delaying installation in eleven cities. Google Fiber is currently available in the following areas:

  • Atlanta, Georgia
  • Austin, Texas
  • Charlotte, North Carolina
  • Kansas City in Missouri and Kansas
  • Nashville, Tennessee
  • Provo, Utah
  • Salt Lake City, Utah
  • The Triangle in North Carolina

Google is pulling back on its fiber deployment and will lay off employees as it scales back the rollout. Eleven areas that Google Fiber listed as either "potential" or "upcoming" Fiber cities are subject to the "pause," or have simply been removed from Google Fiber's published plans entirely. That's where employees will lose their jobs. The cities where the ISP's fiber operations will be paused or ended are:

  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Dallas, Texas
  • Jacksonville, Florida
  • Los Angeles, California
  • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
  • Phoenix, Arizona
  • Portland, Oregon
  • San Diego, California
  • San Francisco, California
  • San Jose, California
  • Tampa, Florida

Unless you live in an area already served by Google Fiber, I would suggest you plan on alternate high speed Internet connectivity.
