Google Fiber is a project whose goal is to build a fiber optic communications infrastructure.
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. The system is expected to provide Internet connection speeds of up to 1Gbps (one billion or 109 bits per second) to end users, bothdownstream (downloading) and upstream (uploading).

Google on Thursday detailed its high-speed Internet network called Google Fiber, which runs 100 times faster than today’s average broadband connection.
The search engine giant is bringing the ultra-high speeds first to Kansas City, Kan. and Kansas City, Mo.
“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.”
To get things started, the company divided Kansas City into small communities called “fiberhoods.” Each fiberhood needs a high majority of their residents to pre-register to get the service. Those communities with a high pre-registration percentage will be among the first to get Google Fiber. Households in those communities can register for the service throughout the next six weeks.
Households in fiberhoods that qualify will be able to select from various subscription packages. Internet will cost $70 a month, while Internet along with television will cost about $120. According to the New York Times, a Nexus 7 tablet will come with the TV service package and serve as a remote.
“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.
“Access speeds have simply not kept pace with the phenomenal increases in computing power and storage capacity that’s spurred innovation over the last decade, and that’s a challenge we’re excited to work on,” it said.
The news comes as the White House recently launched a public-private partnership called US Ignite to build ultra high-speed broadband networks in communities around the U.S.
