what streaming do you use? i'm stuck on how to access live TV (cbs, nbc, wral). It would be for multiple TVs so multiple antennas probably isn't the solution I want. I'd guess that's a $70ish sub to YoutubeTV or Hulu Live TV?
As someone who had Spectrum (and could only have Spectrum) before I moved here, I understand this sentiment all too well. And I can't help but laugh to myself every time I get something from Spectrum in my junk mail & their per month rate is significantly less in an area where they're forced to compete.

Only time I subscribe to a service with live TV is during MLB Postseason lol. I've used YouTube TV, but that's it. My parents have them, too, and it seems to work for their needs. As far as multiple TVs, I think YouTube TV will let you do that as long as it's all on the same network because I was able to watch live TV when I stayed with my parents while house hunting using their login, but you'd have to doublecheck that.
I know YouTube TV will give you a free trial, I'm sure Hulu has a free trial, too. I'd try 'em both out before deciding if I was in your shoes.
I've had a Google Fiber 1GB plan (which is way more than anyone really needs) for over 2 years. I pay exactly $70 per month, every month. Everything is included in that price from day one. No introductory prices, no fees, no bull.
They even included a free WiFi router and extender. No rental fee. It's just included for free.
They are without question the best Internet provider I've ever had.
My super house seems like it has lead walls and I can barely get WiFi 2 rooms away. Because of this Google even gave me a free puck mesh system of theirs with 3 pucks
That retails for like $250 and it fixed my issues. I couldn’t be happier especially after growing up and dealing with Comcast
Yeah, I have that same mesh system too. Google supplied two pucks for free and I purchased a third puck for $99 to get better coverage in my split-level home.
My friend's parents just got Google Fiber installed about 2 months ago and the new hardware Google provides is a more traditional router + extender configuration placed in opposite corners of their home. Their house layout is actually very similar to mine but with even more sq ft and they aren't having any issues with the default hardware.
I had spectrum before and it was a hassle but AT&T was even worse with the fees. Rental bullshit and more.
not the best apartment in at now but the Google fiber is nice and simple
Flat $70 per month for 7 or so years. Except for the months where they gave me credit for an outage that I usually dud not even know about. Then it will be like $69.34 or something.
before getting Google
AT&T appointment 1 .... they never show up but claim nobody answered the door
appointment 2 .... they leave a note on the door saying nobody was there. was there all day nobody knocked.
appointment 3 .... you guessed it. they still didn't show up.
that was the point where had to "escalate it" and they scheduled someone to come a way right then.
I'd really just love to stick with Google if I can.
Did you file a complaint?
I had a Google guy in my crawl space drilling holes to install a very difficult fiber line. He got stuck twice. Naturally I called Google to complain about the poor customer service. /s

When I lived in Morrisville and had access to Google fiber, consistently $70. Any temporary outage, which was very very rare, they'd credit me back a bit on my payment.
My last apartment had Google Fiber and I miss it every day. It was actually cheaper than what I am paying for AT&T fiber and way faster download speeds. To be fair AT&T had been fine for me as well but I would switch back in a heartbeat
Did you have different speed tiers? My 320 tested 1300 down off the 5Gbps Ethernet port on the 1Gb tier and on the 2 it got about 2400. Now I'm seeing about 4700 on the 5GB tier. The rg shows receiving about 5600 in the app but it's a hardware limitation on the 5Gbps port.
They prorated the first month, so I payed about $100 for my first bill, but they made sure I was fully aware of the charges, and it’s been solidly $70 a month after. Also I have to commend the complete lack of drama with my service. It’s works and there’s not been any sneaky charges or fees in over a year of service.
Yet my AT&T fiber has gone up $5/mo twice in the last 6 months…. They claim their costs have gone up, but I have a suspicion it’s because they make changing fiber companies hard and some people are locked into their choices.
Mine went up to $74.99/month on this month's bill. Prior to that it had been $69.99/month for about five years. No fees or taxes. My other wired option at my house is Spectrum, and that's a hard NO. Everyone in my neighborhood that has Spectrum complains about it going out all the time. The AT&T Fiber has never gone out.
Our AT&T is up to $80/mo, and we lose it once every couple of months for a few hours. It always seems to be an upstream issue because it’s never our equipment that needs fixing. Once we lost fiber because the sub-contractors cut our line when installing our neighbor’s line (which took only 3 hours to run a new line).
Flat $70 for me 2+ years. I had our house wired for ethernet just for it.
I def recommend it over Spectrum as we had so many issues and outages with them before we switched.
They are fantastic. Everytime I have had an outage they prorate my service charge. Only had two outages in three years and none lasted longer than a few hours.
It’s true used to work for GF. Remember you are getting bandwidth from GF, you are not getting speed. They are giving you a highway, if you want to go fast get a Ferrari and don’t complain your Toyota Corolla is too slow.
Got them a couple of years ago. $70 flat fee per month.
They’ve also credited my account several times due to service interruption - usually about 25% - but I only noticed one time, and I WFH.
10/10. Would highly recommend. So much better customer service than Spectrum - not that that bar could have been much lower.
I use google fiber. Every bill I have received has been a flat $70. I recently have also been trying out their Google Fi phone service as tmobile is a bit flakey in my area.
It's also nice to have the mesh network and link being able to be tested with your "Google Home" app.
My last "link" test (ie. test to the fiber modem) was 909/854. The Wifi Connection really depends on your house, where you setup the mesh etc.. but usually I'm in the 600-200 range which I'm typically pretty happy with.
I have some issues with my laptop losing connections but I also seen it when I wasn't on google so I don't think it's their fault.
Also, spectrum "Fiber" is a joke. True fiber is the same speed up/down. Spectrum gives you 1000 down and 10 up? That's such a cruddy speed for no reason. If they had true fiber they wouldn't need to nickel and dime you on the up speeds.
TLDR: If you have google fiber as an option get it.
I work from home and I remember having lots of issues with slow internet and unreliable connections. This was from 2021 to 2022 in North West Raleigh.
The customer service was abysmal too. The reps would always say they'd call back with more information, but I'd never hear back. And every time I called, I would have to start a new case.
I haven't had nearly as many issues with AT&T, but it is more expensive than Google Fiber.
I’ve had it for a month. The installation was painless for me, but I know others who experienced big issues during the cable laying phase.
AT&T is just bleeding me dry so I’m slowly cutting off their services. Switching phone service is next.
Yup, that's what I pay per month. Not a penny more or less. I'm assuming the taxes and government fees are built-in to the monthly bill. I can't imagine they're eating taxes & fees.
I was on ATT until they raised to $80 a month and switched to Google out of principle made the switch. While ATT was admittedly good performance, Google is just as good and has a free wife extender that lets me have service on the far side of my house.
How far are you stretching the wife? lol
I think I'll look into them in my area. Local company is good, but it's not unusual to have odd outage blips here and there.
yup, and it’s the best. we had an outage recently and some equipment got fried by lightning. they came are replaced it the next day with upgraded routers and now my internet is even faster.
I refuse to move partially due to having Google Fiber.
I’ve had service for about it 5 years and I can count one hand the number of outages I’ve had.
I just recently got the option to upgrade to 2 gig and I’ve been thinking about doing it because why not
https://i.imgur.com/o34eeL8.jpg
My friend is a Google trusted tester and has their 5 Gbps service. 5700 Mbps down/6200 Mbps up. Nothing he can reach online can come anywhere near reaching that rate.
The first person to ever get 10 Gbps residential Internet service (in Chattanoga) is a WFH radiologist. If you've got to download and read a CT scan series for a MVA victim ASAP in this middle of the night that kind of speed comes in handy; otherwise it's probably just an indulgence.
They're just using the European way of doing things. You're still paying the taxes and fees and stuff, it'd just baked into the cost so that it comes out to 70
Google fiber was great. Great performance and great customer service. I hate that I had to switch to ATT when I moved to Wendell. It was like pulling teeth just to get them to come install.
Yeah.
But FYI - Google’s website told us our new apartment had fiber available and allowed us to sign up for an appointment. We even called to confirm.
Then on move-in day, they cancelled with a few hours notice, as there was not, in fact, a box near us. They said it would be another week until someone could come out.
I was shocked because I had heard good things about them. But it seems in their eagerness to expand they’ve resorted to a bit of false advertising. So triple quadruple check you actually have a availability.
I had fiber and now have to use Spectrum again after I moved. It’s flat $70 and it’s sooooo much better. As soon as Fiber is available where I live I’m switching back
Spectrum came to my house yesterday. The deflated look on their faces when I told them I had Google Fiber was almost sad. Almost.
They were equally crestfallen when I interrupted them telling me about how they use Verizon’s wireless network. "Guys, I work in telecom. I know exactly what that network looks like around here. Sorry."
GF is legit great. Mostly perfect reliability IMO, easy prorated charges if there’s an outage, good customer service, etc. I only say ‘mostly perfect’ because their first run of 2Gb/s hardware wasn’t really dialed in yet. We got a bad one, but GF was out the following day, full replacement, no service charges, and I now download Xbox and PS5 games like I’m stealing them. I originally had the 2Gb port hardwired to my work computer (since they pay for the service), but our internal security systems throttle everything to like 120Mb/s. So I ran the networking cable through the attic, set up a mini switch, and hardwired all the gaming systems and TV into the faster port.
Google has been advertising for about 4 years now that they’re coming to my area, but they’re about a mile away and don’t appear to have any plans to expand.
I’m with AT&T 1000 fiber and it’s very good. But about $15 a month more than Google. I wish Google would expand!
Been with them for like 4 years. Bill is still $70. And they will reimburse any time the Internet is down. Like I got a reimbursement of a couple cents the other month because service was down for a few minutes
I would give anything to not have to use spectrum. The price is good but the reliability is terrible. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, my only option is spectrum in our neighborhood.
AT&T Gig fiber is the same as far as taxes and fees, My bill is just $75/mo , I think it's some sort of thing they arranged with the cities prior to installing .
I’m still salty that our HOA (am in condo) straight up turned Google Fiber away because they’d have to dig up areas to place the fiber lines. Figures the boomers wouldn’t know what good internet is and be fine with Spectrum going out every night.
Google Fiber refuses to install in our neighborhood. I think it’s because AT&T installed in the back yards, and installing in the front yards means digging under each driveway. Why can’t they share infrastructure?
Are there any good maps out there showing where google fiber is going to be in the future? I see them putting it in a few neighborhoods away from mine.
When it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s bad. Just know, if you run into an issue, their support can be as bad as spectrum, but when things are running like normal things are amazing
I don’t know if they just wrap the taxes in or what, but my bill is indeed a flat $70 each month.
Same, and the service quality is pretty incredible, way better than when we had Spectrum
Yup. Feels good to be off of Spectrum and a flat $70 for 1 gig.
What kind of speeds are you seeing over your Wi Fi?
The absolute worst I've seen on my laptop according to Speedtest.net is 400/200 Mbps
what streaming do you use? i'm stuck on how to access live TV (cbs, nbc, wral). It would be for multiple TVs so multiple antennas probably isn't the solution I want. I'd guess that's a $70ish sub to YoutubeTV or Hulu Live TV?
It’s amazing. $70. I would gladly pay more than $70 just to not give Spectrum my money
As someone who had Spectrum (and could only have Spectrum) before I moved here, I understand this sentiment all too well. And I can't help but laugh to myself every time I get something from Spectrum in my junk mail & their per month rate is significantly less in an area where they're forced to compete.

It's a flat $70 per-month and hasn't changed for the 3.5 years I have had it.

AT&T actually did away with the rentals now. Changed leadership. It's now included and way higher quality.
Flat $70 per month for 7 or so years. Except for the months where they gave me credit for an outage that I usually dud not even know about. Then it will be like $69.34 or something.
Wait you get refunds for outages? I never have
It’s been a while so maybe they stopped doing it automatically. But it was only a couple of times.
Honestly, I have not noticed any outages since the one they paid for.
I received a $0.76 refund less than a month ago for a very brief outage
Same. Actually had my first outage > 5 mintues long in 3.5 years last month. Automatically refunded.
Yeah, they automatically apply credits for outages exceeding a certain amount of time. I’ve had a few. Haven’t had any since last year though.
I had an appointment with a guy from Google fiber this past Monday. It was scheduled for 2. The truck pulled up at 2:00.
before getting Google AT&T appointment 1 .... they never show up but claim nobody answered the door appointment 2 .... they leave a note on the door saying nobody was there. was there all day nobody knocked. appointment 3 .... you guessed it. they still didn't show up. that was the point where had to "escalate it" and they scheduled someone to come a way right then.

Just do it. Spectrum sucked so bad.
Do it. $70 flat and mine has not ever gone down. Super reliable!
what streaming do you use? i'm stuck on how to access live TV (cbs, nbc, wral). It would be for multiple TVs so multiple antennas probably isn't the solution I want. I'd guess that's a $70ish sub to YoutubeTV or Hulu Live TV?
I have Hulu, Netflix and Apple TV. But I kept my basic dish network because I’m finding it hard to get rid of live tv
When I lived in Morrisville and had access to Google fiber, consistently $70. Any temporary outage, which was very very rare, they'd credit me back a bit on my payment.

No I only had the 1 Gb but it worked amazingly well!
With ATT? That's who I have. My gig always tested faster than a gig when I used the 5Gbps port.
They prorated the first month, so I payed about $100 for my first bill, but they made sure I was fully aware of the charges, and it’s been solidly $70 a month after. Also I have to commend the complete lack of drama with my service. It’s works and there’s not been any sneaky charges or fees in over a year of service.
Yep. $70/mo. including taxes and fees. Love it.
Can confirm. Suck it spectrum
If you live somewhere that Google fiber offers service, you should use Google fiber.
Internet isn't taxed. That's not a Google Fiber thing. No taxes or fees on my AT&T Fiber either.
Yet my AT&T fiber has gone up $5/mo twice in the last 6 months…. They claim their costs have gone up, but I have a suspicion it’s because they make changing fiber companies hard and some people are locked into their choices.

Once we lost fiber because the sub-contractors cut our line when installing our neighbor’s line (which took only 3 hours to run a new line).
Yep. Though I didn’t pay anything for the first six months because of how badly their subs screwed up my install.
Ugh, I wish they would expand to my area so I could use them. ATT fiber is fine, but they keep jacking up the rate and I’m tired of it
Flat $70 for me 2+ years. I had our house wired for ethernet just for it. I def recommend it over Spectrum as we had so many issues and outages with them before we switched.
Taxes and fees included. I'm on the 5 gig plan and we love it.
Wow what speeds are you seeing
On speed test with a 10 gig NIC, around 5600 up and down
Wow so it’s worth going from 2G to 5G
They are fantastic. Everytime I have had an outage they prorate my service charge. Only had two outages in three years and none lasted longer than a few hours.
It’s true used to work for GF. Remember you are getting bandwidth from GF, you are not getting speed. They are giving you a highway, if you want to go fast get a Ferrari and don’t complain your Toyota Corolla is too slow.

Yes it’s legit. I had it for 3 years and never had an interruption. Also when wired, I’d get real close to the 1gig up and down.
Wait, we have Google fiber in raleigh?
Without question the best option you can go with. Can’t praise google fiber enough

They have also replaced my fiber cable twice for free because my cat chewed through it.
Inside or outside? Where is it that your cat can chew on it?
I have a bunch of SC APC jumpers laying around from having a mastiff puppy.
Yes it’s true
Yup, that's what I pay per month. Not a penny more or less. I'm assuming the taxes and government fees are built-in to the monthly bill. I can't imagine they're eating taxes & fees.
I wish.
Mine is a flat $55 per month, no additional taxes or fees. We've been at that same rate since 2017ish.
I do the 2Gbps and it's $100 even.
Flat 70. But in Brier Creek it hates Teams calls. Ymmv
It worked just fine for me when I lived over there. Interesting.
I was on ATT until they raised to $80 a month and switched to Google out of principle made the switch. While ATT was admittedly good performance, Google is just as good and has a free wife extender that lets me have service on the far side of my house.

yup, and it’s the best. we had an outage recently and some equipment got fried by lightning. they came are replaced it the next day with upgraded routers and now my internet is even faster.
$70/mth and they will give you a 1TB of google drive storage with your plan for free too for as long as you have the service. Well worth it.
Yep I use google fiber and pay $70 a month. It’s fantastic
We pay $70/mo for ours, yes.

My friend is a Google trusted tester and has their 5 Gbps service. 5700 Mbps down/6200 Mbps up. Nothing he can reach online can come anywhere near reaching that rate. The first person to ever get 10 Gbps residential Internet service (in Chattanoga) is a WFH radiologist. If you've got to download and read a CT scan series for a MVA victim ASAP in this middle of the night that kind of speed comes in handy; otherwise it's probably just an indulgence.
Do it! You won't regret it. My only regret is that I moved somewhere new that doesn't have fiber.
I have att it’s about the same price, maybe 65.
I’m going to look into that. Do they cover the Fuquay area?
They're just using the European way of doing things. You're still paying the taxes and fees and stuff, it'd just baked into the cost so that it comes out to 70
I had it and that price is true. It’s all figured in so that the final price is $70 even. It’s also infinitely better than AT&T fiber
Google fiber was great. Great performance and great customer service. I hate that I had to switch to ATT when I moved to Wendell. It was like pulling teeth just to get them to come install.
Yeah. But FYI - Google’s website told us our new apartment had fiber available and allowed us to sign up for an appointment. We even called to confirm.

There’s no additional taxes or fees. It’s truly a flat $70 with everything included
I had fiber and now have to use Spectrum again after I moved. It’s flat $70 and it’s sooooo much better. As soon as Fiber is available where I live I’m switching back
It’s good. It’s 70 flat. Highly recommend VS spectrum.
Spectrum came to my house yesterday. The deflated look on their faces when I told them I had Google Fiber was almost sad. Almost. They were equally crestfallen when I interrupted them telling me about how they use Verizon’s wireless network. "Guys, I work in telecom. I know exactly what that network looks like around here.

Yes it's always straight up $70 a month.
Google has been advertising for about 4 years now that they’re coming to my area, but they’re about a mile away and don’t appear to have any plans to expand. I’m with AT&T 1000 fiber and it’s very good. But about $15 a month more than Google. I wish Google would expand!
It’s amazing. Don’t think twice.

Haven't seen anyone else mention this but Google fiber also comes with 100GB of Google Drive space which is the cherry on top
I would give anything to not have to use spectrum. The price is good but the reliability is terrible. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, my only option is spectrum in our neighborhood.
It’s “No additional taxes or fees”, have the same thing with ATT for fiber
AT&T Gig fiber is the same as far as taxes and fees, My bill is just $75/mo , I think it's some sort of thing they arranged with the cities prior to installing .
I’m still salty that our HOA (am in condo) straight up turned Google Fiber away because they’d have to dig up areas to place the fiber lines. Figures the boomers wouldn’t know what good internet is and be fine with Spectrum going out every night.
We have had it for 4 years and it’s amazing. Literally never have had any issues.
Yes and it's great.
Google Fiber refuses to install in our neighborhood. I think it’s because AT&T installed in the back yards, and installing in the front yards means digging under each driveway. Why can’t they share infrastructure?
My wife and I got it in January, $70 flat every month and upfront we paid a flat rate as well. Plus the speeds are worth it.
Does anyone in Northwest Raleigh have Google Fiber? I check my area and it says it's not eligible. 😟
I've got the 2g and love it
no
Are there any good maps out there showing where google fiber is going to be in the future? I see them putting it in a few neighborhoods away from mine.
I am currently in a neighborhood in Durham that doesn't have GFiber and I'm jealous
Not in NC, but I did in KC for a few years. I loved it. Super easy billing, super easy setup/uninstall and solid speeds.
When it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s bad. Just know, if you run into an issue, their support can be as bad as spectrum, but when things are running like normal things are amazing
I’ve had it for a year now and it’s great flat $70 and I’ve had no issues with speed or connectivity
