Why do people love fiber optic internet?

Technically speaking, fiber optic internet harnesses the speed of light through tiny glass tubes (think the size of a single strand of hair). This advanced technology makes for very fast, very reliable internet. While there have been advances in what cable internet and 5G can do, it can't keep up with the reliability and performance of fiber optic internet now — let alone 10 or 20 years from now. 

Future-proof internet

When Google Fiber sent the first signal more than 10 years ago, people said 1 gig per second was more internet than anyone would ever need. Things have changed a lot since then, and now our popular 1 Gig offers homes with multiple internet users all the speed, bandwidth, and reliability they need for everything they want to do.  

Building the infrastructure that connects people to fiber optic internet is a lot of work, but Google Fiber decided a long time ago that people don’t just need internet for today; they need internet for tomorrow. Internet without slowdowns, interruptions, glitchy video calls, or data caps. Internet reliable enough for a fully automated home. 1 and now 2 Gig Internet for everything that comes next. 

99.9% reliable internet is as good as it sounds

We’re using more internet than ever to live our lives. There’s the everyday stuff like working and learning from home, and then there’s the things we love the most, like video calls with your newest family member or catching up with friends over multiplayer gaming. No matter who you are or what you do, you deserve internet you can count on now, and well into the future.
