Google Fiber is the latest project from Google that works on
an attempt to provide broadband internet that can give bandwidth speeds of
1Gbps i.e., 1 Gigabit per second. With such speed, a movie can be downloaded in
only 10-15 seconds. Over
1,100 communities applied to be the first receiver of the technology. In March of 2011, it was announced that Kansas City, Kansas will be the first
community where the new network would be installed.
The Google Fiber service
will provide 3 services. 1st an internet connection with bandwidth
of 1Gbps for $70 per month and it’s another version worth $120 with a TV
service. The internet service will include 1TB of Google Cloud storage and the
Google TV service will include a 2TB DVR recorder summed up to the Google Drive
Space. 8 television shows can be recorded simultaneously by the DVR recorder. A
Nexus 7 tablet is also included in the TV service that will act as a remote of
that service. Summing up to that, the television service will also stream live
program content on iPad and Android tablet
computers.
After Google
made the infrastructure for the network, its pricing was announced. The
construction fee costs about $300 while the 1Gbps plans start from $70 which
provides 1TB Google drive while its next plan costs about $120 with the TV
service and 2 TB DVR Storage along
with the 1TB Google drive storage.
