gFiber (Google Fiber) review

gFiber, the provider that recently dropped the Google Fiber name in favor of its nickname, keeps pricing simpler than any rival here. Its plans page lists three tiers: 1 Gig at $70 a month, 3 Gig at $100 and 8 Gig at $150, plus taxes and a local access fee. gFiber says the 1 Gig price has not changed since 2012. Every tier sends and receives at the same speed, the router and other equipment are included in the monthly price, and installation is either self setup with the app or a free professional install. The 1 Gig plan comes with a Wi-Fi 6E router and up to one extender, while 3 Gig and 8 Gig get a Wi-Fi 7 router with up to two extenders. The 8 Gig plan adds a 10G LAN port, internet battery backup for up to 2 hours and a 99.9%+ uptime promise. The limits are reach and entry price: gFiber serves a list of metro areas, and there is no cheaper plan for light users.
