The 2 Gig plan comes with a Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 6 router, the latest available Wi-Fi technology and estimated to be roughly 30% faster than the previous Wi-Fi iteration. You also can use your own router, but seeing as how Google Fiber includes one at no extra cost, I can't imagine why you'd want to unless you need a top-of-the-line router for serious gaming or other specialized uses. You can purchase more access points for $100 each if you need additional coverage. Google Fiber's 1 Gig plan comes with a Wi-Fi router and up to two access points, which extend the range and coverage of Wi-Fi service throughout your home, up to around 3,000 square feet.
No equipment costs, even for mesh Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6 routers Still, some big-name providers will require you to sign an agreement to get the lowest pricing or tack on $50 or more in overage fees for exceeding your data limit. Unlimited data and no contracts are becoming more common among ISPs. That's not to say the price will never go up, but there's no guarantee that it will after a certain number of months.Īdditionally, Google Fiber plans come with unlimited data (so no overage fees) and no contracts with a required service length (so no early termination fees). Google Fiber doesn't have introductory pricing, so you don't have to worry about a looming price increase after 12 months. Straightforward pricing with no added fees It's still a bit pricey at $150 per month, but the speeds you get more than justify the cost. Google Fiber's 8 Gig plan, though not yet widely available, actually boasts the lowest cost per Mbps (less than 2 cents), of any major provider or plan. A sub-dime cost per Mbps is often a great internet deal, and the cost per Mbps of Google Fiber plans is on par with or lower than most providers at any speed tier. The 2 Gig plan is even lower at 5 cents per Mbps. Google Fiber's 1 Gig plan starts at $70 per month for speeds up to 1,000Mbps, which comes to an estimated cost per Mbps of 7 cents. Then there's the $100 per month 2Gbps plan, which is still cheaper than what some providers charge for a single gig service.Ī good indicator of value is the cost per Mbps, which you can find for any internet plan by dividing the monthly fee by the max speeds. At $70 per month, Google Fiber's gig service is priced lower than fiber providers AT&T, Frontier and Verizon Fios and cable ISPs including Cox, Spectrum and Xfinity. Getting back to value, Google Fiber plans are actually better priced than most, even though no "cheap" option is available.
