    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Google is rolling out its 20-gig internet service offering to Fiber customers in select markets, with installations starting in Q1 2024.

    The new 20Gbps internet service, which comes through Google’s GFiber Labs, won’t come cheap: it’ll cost customers $250 per month.

    Google plans to offer the connection initially in Kansas City, North Carolina (Triangle Region), Arizona, and Iowa.

    The service availability coincides with last-mile infrastructure upgrades by Google that include the installation of new Nokia 25G PONs, or passive optical networks, that connect all the way to customers’ homes.

    Meanwhile, Google Fiber’s gigabit tier still costs the same $70 per month since it first became available in Kansas City in 2012.

    Google previously advertised that 5Gbps internet could make it easier to upload or download any size file simultaneously, while 8Gbps could handle internet in “near real-time.” But when it comes to the new 20Gbps tier, Google says to expect simultaneous multi-gig connections across multiple floors with Wi-Fi 7 hardware.
