GFiber
November 17, 2025 I've had google fiber for a total of 7 years. I first got it when I moved to Nashville and chose a new apartment building. I found google fiber to be really reliable most of the time, and it was also very easy to access my account online in order to pay bills, make account changes, etc. When i bought a house 2 years ago, I was forced to get Verizon home 5G, because google fiber hadn't reached that area yet. I hated having Verizon, and was thrilled to eventually have the option to switch to fiber. I still have fiber now, and i recommend it to anyone who asks.

October 11, 2026 I pay for the medium service and I expect faster speeds but I'm getting a whole lot of latency when I try to watch FB or Youtube videos. And it's consistent. Might be time for a change.
