Nevada residents are now in line to receive GFiber, Google’s fiber internet service, by mid-2025.
“Earlier today, the Clark County Commission approved a franchise agreement with GFiber, which will allow us to bring fast, reliable internet to our first community in the Silver State,” GFiber’s West Region General Manager Ashley Church said in a blog post.
Engineering planning is underway and construction is set to start towards the end of this year.
“We’re betting big in Nevada,” Church said.
At a time when reliable, high-speed internet is in high demand, the provider currently offers 1 Gig, 2 Gig, 5 Gig, or 8 Gig packages depending on availability. GFiber also has plans to offer 20 Gig internet with Wi-Fi 7 in the future.
Instead of the copper wires used by traditional cable companies, GFiber provides high-speed internet by fiber optic cables or a combination of fiber optic and wireless millimeter wave.
So far, GFiber is available in 18 states with plans to add more. GFiber announced its plans to talk to city leaders to bring the internet service to cities in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, and Idaho in 2022.
“We’re living in a world that has finally caught up to the idea that high-speed, reliable internet — at gigabit speeds — is no longer a bold idea or a ‘nice to have,'” GFiber’s CEO Dinni Jain said at the time.
