You shouldn't have to think about your internet. You just need it to work fast, reliably, and with zero surprise charges on your bill. Core 1 Gig has been doing exactly that since 2012—the same product, the same price, and the same commitment to value, without compromise. Here’s a closer look at the internet that just works.

What is GFiber Core 1 Gig? 

Core 1 Gig is where the GFiber story began. It’s our foundational, no-nonsense internet product that delivers symmetrical 1 Gbps speeds (that’s 1,000 Mbps upload and download). All for $70 a month. That includes everything you need—free installation, free Wi-Fi, unlimited data, free  repair—and nothing you don’t. No annual contracts, and absolutely no hidden fees. It’s the original price—and we haven't changed it in over a decade.

What's included with Core 1 Gig? 

Core comes with a GFiber Wi-Fi 6E router and up to one mesh extender for wall-to-wall coverage across your home included. Prefer to set things up yourself? If you already have GFiber connected to your home, you can use our app to get up and running without scheduling an appointment with a technician.

Who is Core 1 Gig for? 

If you're an individual, a couple, or a smaller household looking for premium internet performance without paying a premium price tag, this is the plan for you.

What do people actually think of GFiber? 

We prefer to let our consistency speak for itself. Just ask our customers, like @Valteria_KC, who noted: “I’ve had Google Fiber for like 7 years and the price has always been 70 bucks a month. Hasn’t changed one time.”

That’s the kind of reliability that has earned us top honors for customer satisfaction from J.D. Power three times and "Reader’s Choice" from PCMag four times. CNET even called us "the best value you’ll find from any major ISP." We’re proud of the recognition, but we’re even prouder that our customers don’t have to think about us.

Is Core 1 Gig right for my home? 

If you want fast, dependable internet at a price that's been fair for over a decade, Core 1 Gig is right for you. We’re reimagining the internet experience. No hidden fees, no fine print to worry about. Just internet that works.
