New Year, New Internet Choice for Provo Residents
Wednesday, January 22, 2014
Starting today, Provo residents who live along the former iProvo network can start
signing up for Google Fiber
. You’ll be able to choose from three different options for your Fiber service:
The
Gigabit Internet plan
will give you an Internet connection that’s up to 100 times faster than basic broadband for $70/month.
The
Gigabit Internet + TV plan
will give you access to hundreds of TV channels, a storage box that can record up to 8 shows at once and hold up to 500 hours of HD content, plus an ultrafast Internet connection, for $120/month.
The
Free Internet plan
will give you basic broadband speeds (up to 5Mbps download, 1 Mbps upload) for a one-time, $30 installation fee, then no monthly costs for at least 7 years.
After you choose your plan, we’ll need to bring a brand new fiber-optic cable directly into your home. We can’t install fiber to everyone in Provo all at once, so we’re going to work in waves, starting with the North Park area next month and finishing in the Foothills area hopefully by the end of this year.
When you go to our website, enter your address and find out which of the following “fiberhoods” your home is in. Then, sign up for Fiber before your area’s deadline. We don't have current plans to re-open fiberhood sign ups, so make sure you don't miss your deadline if you want Fiber. If you’re in one of our first three fiberhoods, make sure you put your area’s deadline on your calendar:
North Park
- Thursday, February 20
Downtown Provo
- Thursday, March 6
Pioneer/West Provo
- Thursday, March 27
Grandview
- Spring 2014
North Provo
- Summer 2014
Southeast Provo
- Summer 2014
Foothills
- Summer 2014
If you’re in the Grandview, North Provo, Southeast Provo or the Foothills fiberhoods, we’re planning to bring Fiber to your area later this spring and summer and we’ll post your deadlines on this blog as we get closer to them. If you're in Provo, you can also
sign up to get email updates
— plus a Google Fiber mug.
For those of you who are still customers of Veracity Networks and missed your early-access opportunity to get Fiber, you can go to our website now and sign up, too. Your deadline to choose your Google Fiber plan is February 28.
Have questions? You can always call us up or get in touch with us online — but starting this Friday (Jan. 24th), you can also come see us in-person at our brand-new Fiber Space in the Shops at Riverwoods. The Fiber Space has several demo stations set up where you’ll be able to see just how fast Google Fiber is in-person, plus play around with our TV service and test out the different devices that will come with Fiber. We’d love to answer any of your questions or help you sign-up for Google Fiber!
