GFiber
June 09, 2026 I got Google Fiber installed during the height of the pandemic. Lots of people were working from home and cable speed rates were too slow for daily zoom meetings. it provided substantially faster internet speeds and eliminated the issue of slower cable service. I'm still satisfied enough with the service that I have kept it even though I could go back to a cheaper cable service with slower speeds now that a lot of people are not working at home.
