While people in Google’s home state are still waiting for the company to introduce Google Fiber in a California city, Texas is about to be the first state to have TWO cities with Google’s gigabit Internet service. Don’t hold your breath if you’re a San Antonio resident, however, as this Fiber expansion into a city of 1.4 million will be Google’s biggest yet, and it’s going to take a while to establish the necessary infrastructure.
Google Fiber is coming to San Antonio, a move that will make the company’s speedy 1Gbps internet available to the city’s 1.4 million residents. So far this is the largest market that Google is launching Fiber in, though not the first in Texas — service in Austin started up last December. San Antonio’s people are in for a tough wait; Google is only now nearing the design phase of a daunting project that calls for over 4,000 miles of fiber-optic cable. With San Antonio’s addition, here’s what the current Fiber map looks like — now and for the near future. In March, San Antonio city officials worked to clear the way for Google to enter town. So San Antonio has graduated from “potential Fiber city” into the real thing. But as Google freely admits, it’s going to be some time before residents can get the company’s TV and internet offerings and ditch whoever they’re paying now.
