Should you switch to GFiber? The complete guide to upgrading your internet experience
Switching your internet service shouldn’t feel like a chore. GFiber is built to just work, with multi-gig speeds designed to keep up with your life, and we make switching easy.
How does GFiber compare to other providers?
Where other providers may charge surprise fees, GFiber includes equipment and professional installation at no extra cost. GFiber has a price that hasn’t changed since 2012 and is the most-awarded internet in the US for speed, reliability, and service that people love. On average, we answer phone calls within 9 seconds,*
and 98% of our in-home service visits are rated 5 stars.**
Is GFiber available where I live?
GFiber is currently available across 19 states.*** We are actively expanding our 100% fiber network to bring symmetrical speeds to more communities in all of our metros.
The best way to see if your home is eligible for service is to check your address at https://gfiber.com/ . If we aren’t in your neighborhood yet, you can follow our City News blog to stay updated on the latest construction and market launches.
What does symmetrical speed actually mean?
Symmetrical speed means your upload and download speeds are equal. This is a critical advantage for upload-intensive tasks like gaming, video calls, and cloud backups. GFiber offers symmetrical speeds, where most cable providers offer fast downloads but significantly slower uploads.
