Time Warner Inc (TWX), CenturyLink, Inc. (CTL): When Will Google Inc (GOOG) Fiber Come to Your Town?

As a reminder, here are Google Fiber’s most recent prices:

1). $70 per month for Gigabit upload and download Internet speeds.

2). $120 for both Gigabit Internet and TV services.

3). Free 5 Mbps Internet for anyone willing to either fork out a one-time $300 setup fee, or pay $25 per month for 12 months (remember, Google still makes money through increased advertising by driving more traffic to its site).

The multibillion-dollar question

And so the question, with enormous financial implications for everyone involved, is this: When will Google Fiber arrive in your town?

That’s entirely up to the folks at Google, who’ve understandably decided not to publicly outline their plans for domestic broadband domination.

In fact, now it’s harder than ever to determine when and where Google Fiber will pop up. A few months ago, after Kansas City and Austin were named, it would’ve been easy to say cities with the largest metropolitan populations would be next in line. That way, Google would have no problem simply spreading out in the surrounding areas until they permeated the largest segments of the U.S. population.

But then Provo was named, making it clear that Google is more than willing to use its deep pockets to buy out existing infrastructure if it means that bringing Fiber to a community — even a relatively small one — could happen more quickly.

Even so, if Google has made one thing clear, it’s that it intends to continue expanding Google Fiber for the foreseeable future.

As a result, while we can’t know exactly when Google Fiber will arrive in your neighborhood, that’s why I’m convinced you can sleep easy knowing it will ultimately happen.
