A new standard for lightning-fast internet speeds?
Google Fiber, the internet service provider operated by Alphabet, is introducing a new 20-gig internet speed tier, and it is offering select volunteer testers the chance to try it out for free.
The aim? To test the full capabilities of this ultra-fast internet service and see just how far it can go.
As we learned in a recent blog post, the company is seeking out businesses, nonprofits, and educational institutions in four areas across the US to participate in this trial run.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City has already been testing Google Fiber, and it has been used to test datasets with the School of Science and Engineering. Your organization could be next!
Incredible Internet Speeds!
This new speed tier represents a massive leap in internet speed, with the current fastest option available to customers being the 2-gig plan. That is a huge jump!
Google's Trusted Tester program, which will include eight lucky organizations, will provide feedback to the company about the performance of the new speed tier. And what's even better? Participants in the program will not be charged for their involvement.
CNET tells us that Google Fiber is known for its high-speed internet with no data caps, equipment fees, or contract requirements, and it is expanding its services to Logan, Utah, in 2024. The company currently offers its services in cities including Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Kansas City, Nashville, and Salt Lake City.
If your organization is lucky enough to be chosen as a Trusted Tester, get ready for an internet experience like no other!
How to join?
Google Fiber is looking for individuals or companies who require high-speed internet for tasks such as downloading or uploading large datasets, carrying out research that demands significant bandwidth, or working on cutting-edge technologies that require ultra-fast internet.
If you are one of those lucky chosen few, you can expect a substantial improvement in the speed and efficiency of these tasks.

To deliver this incredible speed, Google Fiber's new service will use point-to-point wireless technology, providing a direct connection to its fiber-optic network.
Booming Business for Google Fiber
Despite being priced higher than basic internet services, CNET says Google Fiber's pricing is competitive for the speed it delivers. With no data caps, equipment fees, and contract requirements, it is no wonder many customers find it a compelling option.
As the demand for ultra-fast internet continues to rise, other companies like AT&T and Verizon have started to offer fiber internet in larger markets. Last year, after a brief pause, Google Fiber resumed offering its services in new markets. Moreover, the company launched the cheapest 5-gig plan earlier this year.
Now, Google has taken another giant step with its new 20-gig internet speed tier, a significant advancement in the world of internet speeds.
