Google is testing ultra-high speed fiber internet networks that provide connection speeds over 100 times faster than the average broadband connection. They plan to offer this 1 gigabit per second fiber-to-the-home connection to at least 50,000 homes across multiple US cities. Google Fiber provides internet speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second for $70 per month or internet and TV for $120 per month. The service includes a 2 terabyte DVR and other equipment. Google's goal is to experiment with new deployment techniques and applications that could be enabled by these ultra-fast speeds.

1. INTRODUCTION
Google Fiber is offering an Internet connection speed 100
times faster than today's average broadband. Instant downloads.
Crystal clear high definition TV and endless possibilities. Google is
planning to build, and test ultra-high speed broadband networks in a
small number of trial locations across the country. They’ll deliver
Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans
have access to today with 1 Gigabit per second, fiber-to-home
connections. They’ll offer service at a competitive price to at least
50,000, and potentially up to 500,000 people.
Google’s goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet
access better, and faster for everyone. Here are some specific things
that they have in mind:
● Next generation apps: They want to see what developers and
users can do with ultra high-speeds, whether it’s creating new
bandwidth-intensive “Killer apps” and services, or other uses
we can’t yet imagine.
● New deployment techniques: They’ll test new ways to build
fiber networks; to help inform, and support deployment
elsewhere, they’ll share key lessons learned with the world.
● Openness and choice: They’ll operate an “open access”
network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers.
And consistent with their past advocacy, they’ll manage the
network in an open, nondiscriminatory, and transparent way.

2. Google Fiber connections will come into metropolitan areas
through multiple aggregators. From these points, fiber optic cables
will branch out and run into neighborhoods and individual residences,
providing FTTH (fiber to the home) service. Much of the cable will
be strung on new and existing utility poles; some of it will be buried.
“No more buffering. No more loading. No more waiting,” the
company notes on its blog. “Imagine: instantaneous sharing; truly
global education; medical appointments with 3D imaging; even new
industries that we haven’t even dreamed of, powered by a gig.”
History of Google Fiber
Google Fiber is a project to build an experimental broadband
internet network infrastructure using fiber-optic communication in
Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri; the location was
chosen following a competitive selection process. Over 1,100
communities applied to be the first recipient of the technology. In
March of 2011, Google announced that Kansas City, Kansas will be
the first community where the new network would be deployed.
After building an infrastructure of the network, in July of
2012, Google announced pricing for Google Fiber. The service will
offer three options. These include a free broadband internet option, a
1Gbps internet option and a version that includes television service.
Neighborhoods that receive the service will be selected through
demand from Kansas City area residents and Google has set up a
website to pre-register for the service. The first homes are expected
to be connected in September of 2012.

3. Today’s internet V/s Google Fiber!
“It’s easy to forget how revolutionary high-speed Internet
access was in the 1990s,” the company said. “Not only did
broadband kill the screeching sound of dial-up, it also spurred
innovation, helping to create amazing new services as well as new
job opportunities for many thousands of Americans. But today the
Internet is not as fast as it should be”. Google noted that the average
Internet speed in the U.S. is only 5.8 megabits per second (Mbps),
which is a slight uptick in speed first made available by residential
broadband 16 years ago.
At 1000 Mb per second (1Gbps), Google Fiber is 100 times
faster than today’s average Internet, allowing you to get what you
want instantaneously. You no longer have to wait on things
buffering; everything will be ready to go when you are. So whether
you are video chatting, uploading family videos, or playing your
favorite online games, all you need to do is click and you’re there.
And the company was telling “It's not just TV. And it's not just
Internet. It's Google Fiber.”

12. How to get Google Fiber
We're building our Google Fiber network by demand—fiber
hoods that meet their pre-registration goal will get Fiber service.
Here’s how it works:
Pre-register
• Pre-register by September 9th. You'll pay a $10 pre-registration fee
and submit some basic information.
• Your fiberhood needs to reach its pre-registration goal in order to
qualify for Fiber, so encourage your neighbors to pre-register too.
• Once your fiberhood qualifies, continue to rally your neighbors. The
order of construction within your city will be determined by pre
registration rankings on September 9th.
Choose a package
• After September 9th, you'll be able to choose the service package
that you want.
• To get service, you must choose your package before construction
begins in your fiber hood.
Schedule
• Once we're ready to connect you, we'll get in touch and schedule a
time to build Fiber to your home.
• We’re working hard to install users as quickly as possible. We
expect to connect everyone who has signed up for a Fiber package
no later than the end of 2013.
