The Google network will cover 89 percent of Kansas City, Kan. and central Kansas City, Mo.
“One gigabit connectivity will have an immediate impact on our users—the Web will be faster, TV will be clearer, and uploading and downloading will be super speedy,” the company said in its blog. “Not only that, but we fully expect that gigabit speeds will lead to a wave of online innovation, led by Kansas City.”
The first fiberhood to be connected will be Hanover Heights in Kansas City, Kan., which pre-registered the highest percentage of households. It will be turned up “in a few weeks,” Google said.
On the Missouri side, the first fiberhood to get service will be Crown Center, which pre-registered a “whopping number of apartment buildings and condos,” said Google. The company is still trenching fiber in Missouri, so installations in Missouri fiberhoods will start next spring.
