Слайд 1Is Google Bringing Its Internet Service
To a City Near You?
Слайд 2
You may have heard that Google offers a super fast Internet
service, called Google Fiber.
Слайд 3Fiber’s maximum upload and download speeds are 1 gigabit per second…
Слайд 4
Which is about 100 times faster than many home Internet connections.
Слайд 5
For example, it takes just 7 seconds to download an HD
movie with Fiber.
Слайд 6
Compared to nearly 11 minutes for a 10 Mbps connection.
Слайд 7
Fiber costs just $70 per month, while similar Internet speeds from
Verizon and Comcast can cost four times that amount.
Слайд 8
Right now the service is available in just three major metropolitan
areas.

(Current Fiber cities are marked in blue.)
Слайд 10But Google says there are now 34 cities in 9 major
metro areas where Fiber is coming, or potentially coming.
Слайд 13And Google’s not stopping there.
Слайд 14The company wants its Fiber service to expand across the country
because it wants more competition in the high-speed Internet space.
Слайд 16Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T and Verizon have all lowered their
ultra-fast Internet prices in cities where Fiber is available, or coming soon.
Слайд 17Which means that whether you have access to Google Fiber now,
or it comes to your city in the future…
Слайд 18You may have more high-speed Internet options, and pay less money
for faster speeds, because of the increased competition.
