What is Google Fiber offering? What is a gigabit? Why do faster Internet speeds matter? Is there a local location for customer support? What is the Fiber Space? How do I get Fiber service for my home? When can I sign up for Google Fiber? Does Fiber have a TTY (Text Telephone) line for the hearing impaired?
Google Fiber is offering an Internet connection with speeds up to 1000 Mbps. And you can add home phone service to any of our plans for $10/month (plus taxes and fees).
One gigabit per second (Gbps) is a 1000 Mbps (Mbps) connection. With Fiber 1000, you’ll get Internet speeds up to 1 Gbps. That means enough Internet for everyone in your home—and their devices. Everyone at home can have a super fast connection on their computers, smartphones, tablets, and more—at the same time.
Faster Internet speeds will help revolutionize the web in new ways. Imagine chatting with your doctors or teachers via HD video conference, or collaborating on a work or school project with contributors across the globe in real time. Imagine new online billing applications that don’t freeze. Or automatically saving all of your work to the cloud in a blink of an eye—and not having to worry about losing files in a computer crash. Faster speeds mean more possibilities.
Yes. If you’d like to talk with someone in person, we’d love for you to visit the Fiber Space and speak to our Google Fiber team members.
You can also get in touch with us anytime via email or chat, or by calling us at (844) 363-4237.
The Fiber Space is our home in each of our cities where you can experience Fiber for yourself, ask us all your questions, and sign up. We also host fun events and workshops so you can learn more about super fast Internet. To find the nearest Fiber Space, click here.
Creating a brand-new fiber network takes time, so we build in phases.
Kansas City is grouped into small communities. Check your address to pick your plan and sign up for service. To see if Fiber is available in your building, or if it’s on track to get Fiber, check our Apartment Finder.
Check your address to see if your home can sign up for Fiber. If Fiber isn’t available in your area yet, enter your address to be among the first to know when you can sign up for service.
Yes we do offer a Text Telephone line and it can be reached at (TTY) 855-764-9300. Note that we are only able to respond to Google Fiber related inquiries and cannot offer assistance for other Google products. For assistance with other Google products such as Gmail and AdWords use (650) 253-0000.
Are there any data caps on my internet connection? Will I be able to use Wi-Fi with Google Fiber? Do I need to buy a new computer to take full advantage of Fiber Internet? Will my Wi-Fi connection be as fast as a wired connection? Can I keep my existing TV service? What channels are available and what additional entertainment options do I have? Will Google Fiber have Video On Demand and other paid video content? How long will the Basic Internet service be $0/month? What is Google Drive? How do I use it? What is a terabyte? What is Fiber Phone? Who can sign up for Fiber Phone? Can I make long distance calls with Fiber Phone? Can I use my existing home phone hardware with Fiber Phone? Can I transfer my current home phone number to Fiber Phone? Will Fiber Phone work through a power outage?
No way! We want you to use and enjoy your super fast Internet. There are no caps or limits to the amount of data you can send or receive.
Yes. Your network device includes powerful Wi-Fi designed to give you access to Google Fiber throughout your home.
In order to take full advantage of a Fiber 1000 connection, you’ll need a computer or laptop that supports a gigabit (in geek terms, this means having a 1Gbps 1000BaseT network interface card). Most recently-produced computers and laptops already support gigabit speeds. But if you’re not sure if your computer or laptop does, consult your computer documentation and look for the following terms: 1000baseTx or 1000Mbps or 1Gbps or GigE. Learn more about what affects Wi-Fi speeds.
No. Wi-Fi is slower than wired connections. However, the Wi-Fi technology in our Network Box will provide for great connectivity.
If you want to keep your current TV service and still get Google Fiber, you can. Just pick one of our Internet plans.
You can see what channels are available, and learn more about additional packages, by visiting the channels page. You can also view changes to the channel line-ups here.
Yes. Google Fiber offers a wide range of entertainment On Demand. If you have an account with either Vudu and Netflix, you can access them through the built-in player in your TV Box.
Depending on when you signed up for service and whether you live in a house, apartment, or condo, Basic Internet at $0/month is guaranteed for up to 7 or 10 years per address.
Google Drive lets you back up and access your personal files anywhere: at home, at the office, or on the go. And, with Google Fiber you get an extra terabyte (1024 gigabytes) of storage across Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos! (That’s a whole lot.) Now your files go everywhere you do. Change a file on the web, on your computer, or on your mobile device and it updates on every device where you’ve installed Google Drive. Share, collaborate, or work alone: your files, your choice.

Fiber Phone is a service that allows you to make and receive home phone calls using your Fiber Internet connection. With Fiber Phone you can use your existing number or choose a new one. You can add it to eligible Fiber plans for $10 per month (plus taxes and fees). It comes with everything you’d expect from a home phone, like caller ID, voicemail, affordable international rates and 911 service. To learn more about Fiber Phone, please visit our Help Center.
Fiber subscribers can add Fiber Phone to their plan for an additional $10/month (plus taxes and fees). To learn more about monthly service and call rates, please visit our Help Center.
Calls to the US and Canada are free, and international calls are charged at Google Voice’s affordable rates. Charges for international calls made from your home phone will be added to your monthly Fiber bill. International calls made from Hangouts either on your mobile device or desktop computer will require additional credits in Google Voice. Please visit our Help Center to learn more about Fiber Phone.
Yes. Fiber Phone includes a conventional phone jack that’s compatible with nearly all home phones. Please note that rotary dial phones and some older push-button phones do not work with Fiber Phone. Please visit our Help Center to learn more about Fiber Phone.
You can keep your current number, or pick a new one. If you want to keep your current number, just follow a simple transfer process during sign-up.
No. Like most Voice over Internet Protocol services, Fiber Phone requires an Internet connection and power. Service will be unavailable during a power outage unless you set up a battery backup or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in your home. If you do purchase a UPS, make sure your FIber Phone Box and all of the required equipment from your Internet provider are plugged into the UPS.
My address is not found on your website. What should I do? How do I sign up for Google Fiber? I have a landlord, how does the sign-up process work for me? Is the sign-up process different if I live in an apartment or condo? I’ve already chosen a plan, but I’d like to change the plan I selected. How do I do that?
Please double check to make sure you’ve entered the right street name, apartment number and ZIP code. If you still cannot find it you can submit a request to have your address reviewed by our team through the website or else give us a call at (844) 363-4237. You can also visit our Help Center to learn more about signing up for Google Fiber.
You can check your address for eligibility. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
It’s possible your landlord or property manager might need to sign an agreement with Google Fiber before we can bring you service. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
Yes. There are no deadlines for apartments and condos. Once we have an agreement with your property manager and have constructed the network in your building, you can sign up anytime. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
No problem. Just go back to google.com/fiber, sign in again, and choose a different plan. Learn more on our Help Center.
Why do you have to do so much construction in the first place? How long will you be constructing in my neighborhood/city? I didn’t sign up for Fiber - why are you on/near my property? What are easements and rights of way? My yard is torn up after you constructed in my area - when will you fix it? Why are you in my yard without my permission? Will you move my flowers/potted plants/etc before you build in my yard? Do you notify me before coming onto my property? Do you do construction on the weekends? I think my water/power went out because of work you guys did! What can I do? How can I talk to someone about issues related to the construction process?
Google Fiber is building an entirely new network to bring high-speed Internet and crystal-clear television to your community. Because we are a new provider, we have to install brand new, state-of-the-art fiber optic infrastructure. To learn more about what it takes to build this network, check out our behind-the-scenes blog post here.
We don’t have a specific timeframe to share, because the amount of time it will take to bring fiber to a particular area varies greatly, based on the size or the area, how we’re going to be bringing fiber there (aerial versus underground) and even the local soil type. Sometimes the timeline can also be a bit longer due to unforeseen issues (weather, access, equipment issues, etc.). However, we’re constantly striving to build more efficiently and quickly and hope to complete construction as soon as possible. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
In order to bring Google Fiber to a new city, a whole lot of heavy lifting has to happen. Our carefully-crafted design plans require infrastructure to be built in the entire community, which sometimes requires us to access rights of way or easements that could fall next to or across your property. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
Easements and rights of way are certain rights to access and use public and private property. Some state and local laws authorize utilities and other service providers, like Google Fiber, to use rights of way and easements. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
We know that construction can sometimes look very messy, but chances are the construction crews haven’t yet finished building in your neighborhood. Once construction is completed for your entire neighborhood, crews will come back through to restore your property. If construction work has been completed in your area and you notice that your property has yet to be restored, contact Google Fiber if you have a complaint or issue.
A lot of the network we build is placed within areas called easements or rights of way, which are often adjacent to or across private property. We work with the appropriate local authorities to obtain the rights to utilize these locations, just like other service providers (such as water and electric).
Unfortunately, we are unable to move or to care for plants that are in an area where we need to build. Before construction crews come into your neighborhood to build our network, however, we will be sure to leave door hangers so that you have time to move your plants into a safe spot. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
Yes! We will leave door hangers before construction crews come to your neighborhood. Those door hangers also include our contact information should you have any questions or concerns during the construction process. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
Building a network is a lot of work, so you may see or hear construction crews working on weekends. Different ordinances and permitting requirements apply to different neighborhoods, so our ability to work in some areas on weekends is based on those regulations. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
If you haven’t done so already, you should contact your power/water provider first to make sure your outage is addressed quickly. Please also give our construction support team a call at 877-454-6959. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
If you have any concerns whatsoever during the construction process, feel free to reach out to our construction support team at 877-454-6959. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
How do I schedule my installation? What will happen during installation? What will the wiring and equipment look like? If I need to change my appointment time, what do I do? Which devices will be installed with Google Fiber? What is included and what is additional? Can I build my own Google Fiber connection? How do I know if my home has an installed Fiber Jack? How do I select the self-installation option? Who is eligible for self installation? What do I need to prepare? How do I set up my Wi-Fi network when I’m self-installing?
We’ll reach out by email when it’s time to schedule your installation appointment, so be sure to regularly check the email address associated with your Fiber account. Please note if you live in a single family home, it may take time before we can schedule your installation appointment. This is because we’ll first need to lay our fiber all the way to the outside of your home. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
At first, we'll be working out in the street to connect the Fiber network to the outside of your home. Google Fiber-certified installers will either string fiber cables on utility poles or bury them in the ground. We will arrive at your home and knock to let you know we're working on your property, but we'll still install the fiber drop even if you're not home.
Next, we’ll contact you to schedule your installation. When we return on your installation day, we’ll bring fiber into your home. The Fiber Jack, which is about the size of a deck of cards, is an Internet converter that connects to your Wi-Fi router. Our installers will work with you to find the ideal placement of the Fiber Jack and cabling inside your home. We may be able to route the fiber cable around the exterior of your home, or through attics and walls into a room that makes sense for you. Your installer will help you set up any devices that you ordered, show you how to use them, and make sure everything is working smoothly. To learn more about bringing Fiber to your home, please visit our Help Center.
If your appointment is two days or more away, you can change your appointment online by signing into your account on the Fiber website. If your appointment is within the next two days, please give us a call at (844) 363-4237 and we can help you reschedule.
Google Fiber Internet plans include:
• A Fiber Jack, which will bring the fiber connection into your home
• A network device, which will provide wired and wireless connectivity to devices throughout your home.
No, but it may be an option in the future.
If you’ve been invited to self-install it’s because a Fiber Jack was installed at your address. A Fiber Jack is a small white box attached to your wall, which brings the fiber cable into your home. You can see an image of the Fiber Jack on this Help Center page. If you’re not sure, you can contact us to verify our records.
If you’re eligible for self-installation, please sign in to the Fiber website and select “Send me a Self-Installation Kit.” You will then have the option to have the kit mailed to you or you can pick it up from your local Fiber Space. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
Self-installation is available for Internet only customers who live in homes or apartments that already have a Fiber Jack. It requires no tools and minimal technical skills. Detailed instructions and all of the necessary equipment are included in the Self-Installation Kit. You’ll see a step-by-step guide to connecting your Network Box and setting up your Wi-Fi network. To learn more about self-installation, please visit our Help Center.
First, use the instructions included in your Self-Installation Kit to set up your Network Box. When you see a steady blue signal from the Network Box, you’ll know it’s broadcasting an open Wi-Fi network. Within the next hour, on your computer or mobile device, find the list of available Wi-Fi networks and connect to the network that begins with "GFiberSetup" followed by your house or apartment number. Once you’ve successfully connected to the network, open a browser and visit wifisetup.googlefiber.net. Follow the step-by-step instructions on the screen to create your private Wi-Fi network. Please note that if you don’t connect within hour of turning on your Network Box, you will need to turn it on and off before repeating these steps.

Please contact us and we’ll help you out.
If multiple plans are available in your area, you can sign in to your account on the Fiber website at any time to change your plan. You can change your plan by clicking on the Account tab and then selecting “Change plan” underneath your current service plan.
At the beginning of each month, you’ll receive your monthly Google Fiber bill in your email inbox. Ten days later, your credit card or debit card (depending on which payment method you’ve selected) will be automatically charged for that month’s service.
To pay your Fiber bill, we accept credit and debit cards with a Visa®, American Express®, Discover®, or MasterCard® logo, or automatic bank account withdrawal. We do not accept cash or checks.
No. We will email you an electronic copy of your bill at the beginning of each month.
We have the credit card on file that you used to sign up and will bill that credit card by default. You may update or change your payment method at any time by signing into your account on the Fiber website.
To cancel, please contact customer support by email, chat or phone.
You can use any email address you’d like. We suggest using an email address you regularly check since you will receive your monthly bills and all important communications at the email address tied to your Google Fiber account.
Helpful tip: Make sure you don’t use an email address that will be cancelled if you switch service providers.
The applicable taxes are dependent on your local and state sales tax, as well as the Fiber service plan and additional packages you select. The exact amount will be listed on your monthly bill and is available for you to view at any by signing into your account on the Fiber website.
This depends on which Google Fiber package you choose. When you sign-up for your plan, you’ll be able to see a full summary of your costs. These plans are subject to taxes and fees, which will vary based on your state and county.
You will receive an email indicating your payment was declined. Your account will become delinquent, and your service may be suspended if you do not pay your outstanding balance within 40 days.
Your service may be suspended if you do not pay your outstanding balance within 40 days.
Fiber Phone customers will see charges for their phone service on their Fiber bill. You’ll pay a flat $10/month rate (plus taxes and fees) at the beginning of the month for that month’s service. You may also generate charges for international calls, which will appear on your next monthly bill.
To start your move process, contact our customer support team. Learn more at fiber.google.com/move.
Should I use an existing Google Account to sign up for Google Fiber, or create a new Google Account? Can I run a server from my home? What information does Google collect from Google Fiber users? Will information about what happens over my Google Fiber Internet connection be associated with my Google Account? How can I control the personal account information I share with Google? What does Google do to protect my information and keep it safe? Does Google share my personal information with third-parties? What do I do with my equipment if I cancel service? What happens if I want to cancel my Google Fiber service? Do I own this equipment? Do I need to return it if I cancel service? How long will you support the equipment provided by Google Fiber? What should I do if it breaks?
It’s entirely up to you whether you use an existing Google Account or create a new one. If you use an existing Google Account, you may someday see things like Google Search suggestions or relevant ads when you’re logged in to other Google services like Gmail, YouTube or Google Search, based in part on things like which Fiber programming you or your household members and guests viewed. This could make it easier to keep up with your favorite teams or shows. Your activity on other Google services while logged in to the same Google Account might also impact your suggested programming or TV guide search results on Fiber TV.
If you’d prefer not to have Fiber usage impact your existing Google Account, you might consider creating a new Google Account to use for Google Fiber. If you create a new Google Account to use Fiber, it will remain separate from your other Google Accounts—Google does not link your Google Accounts in any way, and Google will not combine or share information between your Google Accounts, unless you chose to. Our goal is simple—to enable you to decide what information we use to make your Google experience even better and more useful for you.
Please contact us if you signed up for Google Fiber using a Google Account which you would now like to change.
Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server for commercial purposes. However, personal, non-commercial usage of servers that complies with our Acceptable Use Policy is acceptable, including using virtual private networks (VPN) to access services in your home, and using hardware or applications that include server capabilities for uses like multi-player gaming, video-conferencing, and home security.
Google will collect the personal and account information you provide when you sign up for Google Fiber. You will have easy access to the personal details you provide, such as your street address, which can be seen on our website at fiber.google.com. If you become a Google Fiber TV subscriber, Google may collect information that users of your subscription provide, such as clicks on a Google Fiber TV remote to change the channel or search program listings.
In addition to the information collected from users, Google will also collect technical information, such as Fiber device uptime, data transfer speeds, packet loss and other diagnostic information for Fiber TV and Internet. This helps Google provide you with the best possible experience over time.
You can read more about the information Google may collect from users or from the use of Google services, in the Google Fiber Privacy Notice and Google Privacy Policy.
If you choose Google Fiber Internet as your service provider, information from Google Fiber Internet usage (like the URLs of non-Google websites visited or the content of emails sent using a non-Google email account) may be accessible to Google Fiber. This kind of Google Fiber Internet usage information won’t be associated with your Google Account or accessed by Google unless we have your consent to do so or if an applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request requires us to do so.
There is certain technical information—to help manage or maintain your Fiber connection and keep it secure—that may be associated with your Google Account. This includes things like how often and how long the service is used or the amount of bandwidth used. As explained in the Google Fiber Privacy Notice, we will get your consent before using information that is associated with your Google Account in other Google properties.
When you use Google products (like Gmail or Search) while connected to Google Fiber Internet, your information will be treated as usual.
At Google, we are committed to providing you with easy-to-use tools to make sure you are in control of your personal information. You can see and manage personal information that you have provided to Google by logging into your Google Account and going to the Google Account Settings page. You can also use Google’s Ads Preferences Manager to see what data is collected across Google services and manage the way it is used.
Once you’ve signed up, you will be able to see the information that you provided to sign up—such as billing address and contact info—on your Account page. Your Account page will allow you to update your account preferences, review your current and recent invoices, revise your billing and payment information, change or cancel your service and manage your network settings.
At Google, one of our goals is to provide users with the strongest security, privacy policies and tools in the world. Any information that you provide to Google, or that Google collects, will be safely stored and protected by our tried and tested security tools and experts who work around the clock to protect your information. When you sign in to your Google Account, we turn on SSL encryption for you by default to protect your information from being snooped on by others. At Google, we know that part of keeping your data safe is making sure it is always available to you when you want it. We work hard to make Google the best service you can rely on, with security and privacy features that are on 24-7 and working for you.
Google will not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Google, except in the situations described in the Google Privacy Policy. Google Fiber may share non-personally identifiable information with third parties outside of Google, such as content providers or connected sites. This information may be used to promote Fiber, partner services and programs, or be used in other ways, such as for product or content lineup improvements. For example, Google might share aggregate viewing statistics with a content provider so they can tell how popular a particular show is.
If you cancel service, please leave the Fiber Jack in place and return your equipment to the Fiber Space. See the Fee Schedule for more details. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call at (844) 363-4237.
You may cancel your Google Fiber service at any time. If your plan included a construction or installation fee at the time of sign-up, and you've cancelled service before that fee was paid or waived, please note that you may be required to pay the outstanding balance as of the date of such cancellation. If you cancel service, please leave the Fiber Jack in place and return your equipment to the Fiber Space. If your services included free or paid-for subscriptions to services other than those provided by Google Fiber (for example, Google Drive), Google Fiber will stop covering the costs of those services at the time your account is cancelled or suspended. It will be up to you to work with the provider of those services to determine whether you wish to continue subscribing to those services and how you will pay for them. See the Fee Schedule for more details. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call: (866) 777-7550.
If you cancel service, please leave the Fiber Jack in place and return your equipment to the Fiber Space. See the Fee Schedule for more details. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call at (866) 777-7550.

Does Google Fiber have a small business product? What is Google Fiber offering? Are there any data caps on my Internet connection? Are there any service contracts? Do I need to keep my plan for a certain amount of time? How can super fast Internet help my business? Can my business sign up for Google Fiber? My address currently cannot get Fiber.

When am I going to get installed? I’d like to sign up, but I feel I need help to get the most out of Google Fiber. Do you offer managed IT services?
Yes, Google Fiber offers three super fast Internet plans for small businesses in all its Fiber cities.
Google Fiber is offering three super fast Internet plans for small businesses with connection speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
You’ll get the same fast speeds both when you are uploading and downloading. Plus, no matter which plan you choose, there are no appointment windows, and no installation fees.
No way! We want you to get the most from your Internet connection. There are no caps or limits to the amount of data you can send or receive.
There are no service contracts. You can change your plan at any time at no cost. After all, if your needs change you should be able to have your service change with it.
Internet speeds up to 1000 Mbps can help businesses in many ways. Imagine super fast uploads and downloads, HD video conferencing, and quick access to the cloud. Faster Internet speeds mean less time waiting and more time getting things done.
To see if your business can sign up for Fiber, check your commerical address at google.com/fiber/smallbusiness/. Please note that a site survey may be needed to determine whether we can bring Fiber to your location.
We’re just getting started, but we’re opening to new areas on an ongoing basis. To stay updated on our progress, be sure to check your business address at google.com/fiber/smallbusiness/.
Getting Fiber may be a little different depending on whether your business is in a single unit or a multi-tenant building. For more details, please visit our Help Center.
Although we would hate to see you go, you can cancel your service at any time by giving us a call at (855) 418-8326. You will need to return your equipment to your local Fiber Space. There are no cancellation fees.
To pay your Fiber bill, we accept credit and debit cards with a Visa®, American Express®, Discover®, or MasterCard® logo, or automatic bank account withdrawal. We do not accept cash or checks.
Your invoice will be emailed to you at the beginning of each month and you will be automatically billed 10 days later using the payment method in your account. To learn more, visit our Help Center.
Yes. If you’re using your own router, please make sure that it fits these recommended specifications. Please note that the Google Fiber support team will not be able to support routers manufactured by third parties. If you choose to add 5 or 13 static IPs to your service, you must use your own router. If you choose to add 1 or no static IPs, you can choose to use your own router, but it is not necessary. Your plan already includes a Network Box that can serve as your router. For more information, please visit our our Help Center.
Yes, as long as it follows our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy. Please note that your plan does not include a built-in feature for creating a guest network. This article in our Help Center will give you more information.
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number assigned to every device on a network. Just as a street address determines where a letter should be delivered, an IP address identifies computers on the Internet. Network devices such as web servers use this address to send the information you requested back to your device. In the case of static IPs if your machine is a web server the static IP is what identifies it to the rest of the internet. A device can have a static IP address, which means it stays the same over time, or a dynamic IP address, which means the address can change over time.
When you sign up for Google Fiber for Small Business, you can choose to have no static IP addresses (that is, dynamic IPs), 1 static IP, 5 static IP addresses or 13 static IP addresses. If you sign up for 1, 5, or 13 static IP addresses, your confirmation email will include the IP addresses assigned to your account. To figure out what type of IP address is best for your business and how many you need, take a look at this article on our Help Center.
We’re working as quickly as possible to bring Google Fiber to your business. We’re still evaluating the results of the site survey but we don’t yet have a specific timeframe for your installation.
You can find a Google Fiber Tech Partner for your business. Tech Partners can assist with everything from data security to cloud computing to setting up Internet and Wi-Fi networks. They are knowledgeable about Fiber products and services and can help small businesses make the most of their super fast Internet connection. Visit google.com/fiber/techpartner to learn more.
