With 30+ years in journalism, Rebecca specializes in covering home services and tech. She’s moved 15+ times.

Moving into a new home comes with a surprisingly long checklist:

  • Transfer utilities.
  • Change your mailing address.
  • Find the box with your phone chargers.

And somewhere near the top of that list: set up your internet.

Because once the moving truck pulls away, you’ll want Wi-Fi working immediately. Whether it’s logging into work, streaming a movie after a long day of unpacking, or helping the kids survive the first night, fast internet is essential.

That’s where GFiber (formerly Google Fiber) stands out.

It combines ultra-fast fiber speeds with reliable performance and refreshingly simple pricing — three things that can make settling into a new home much smoother.

Why GFiber is a great value for your new home

Moving is expensive enough without surprise internet bills showing up later. Thankfully, GFiber doesn’t have surprise bills.

Simple, transparent pricing

GFiber offers clear, flat pricing that stays consistent. That makes budgeting for your new home a lot easier.

Other internet providers love promotional pricing. You know the kind: $49/month for a few months! — followed by a much less exciting $80 or $90 monthly bill once the promotion expires (this just happened to me). Or $49/month for the first year! - followed by a bill with all the extra charges, taking you way over $49. Or even “price for life!” - unless you sneeze, then the price for life is voided.

GFiber skips the whole bait-and-switch routine.

Current GFiber products include:

Core 1 GigUp to 1,000 Mbps (up and down)$70/month
Home 3 GigUp to 3,000 Mbps (up and down)$100/month
Edge 8 GigUp to 8,000 Mbps (up and down)$150/month

No contracts, hidden fees, or data caps

GFiber keeps pricing straightforward.

If you’ve ever signed up for internet with other providers, you’re probably familiar with the typical experience: contracts, equipment fees, activation fees, “gig internet” that is nowhere near a gig up and down, and maybe a data cap lurking somewhere in the fine print.

With GFiber, you get:

  • No annual contracts
  • No data caps
  • No early termination fees
  • Equipment included

GFiber’s month-to-month service gives you flexibility without penalties. That flexibility is especially helpful if you move frequently. If life changes — or you relocate again — you won’t be stuck in a long-term contract (which is one less thing to worry about during a move).

And since GFiber offers truly unlimited data, you don’t have to worry about extra charges if your household streams, games, or works online a lot.


Reliable fiber internet you can actually count on

Speed is important — but reliability might matter even more.

Nobody wants their internet cutting out during a Zoom meeting, buffering during their favorite movie scene, or lagging behind on an epic RPG.

That’s where fiber internet has a big advantage. New Wi-Fi technology, like GFiber’s Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 7 Router, is also specifically engineered to support high speeds when internet traffic is high.

Fiber technology all the way to your home helps keep you online

It sounds a little sci-fi, but the benefits are simple:

  • Faster speeds
  • Lower lag
  • More consistent performance
  • Less vulnerable to power and weather-related outages

With GFiber service, a house full of people with all their connected devices won't slow you down. If your household depends on the internet for work, school, or entertainment, that reliability goes a long way.

And unlike traditional or hybrid cable internet, which typically connects homes to the internet via coaxial lines, end-to-end fiber-optic connections use light to transmit data throughout the network and all the way to your home.

Symmetrical speeds make a big difference

GFiber offers symmetrical speeds, meaning uploads are as fast as downloads.

Most other providers advertise fast download speeds, but offer drastically slower upload speeds.

That might not matter if you only browse websites — but today’s households are constantly uploading data.

Think about:

  • Video calls
  • Sending work files
  • Uploading photos and videos
  • Online gaming
  • Cloud backups

GFiber’s symmetrical upload and download speeds provide the consistent, high-capacity bandwidth needed for demanding, upload-intensive tasks like video conferencing, cloud backups, and online gaming.

Built for homes with lots of devices

Let’s take a quick headcount of devices in the average home.

You probably have at least six devices:

  • A smart TV
  • Laptops or tablets
  • A few smartphones
  • Maybe a gaming console
  • A smart speaker or two
  • Smart home devices like thermostats or cameras

And that’s before visitors show up and ask for the Wi-Fi password.

GFiber’s high-speed products provide enough bandwidth to keep those devices connected without buffering or slowdowns.

So yes, someone can stream a movie while someone else is gaming and another person is on a video call — and everyone’s internet will still work.


Fast internet for every type of household

Not every home needs the same level of speed, which is why GFiber offers a range of products designed to fit into your life.

Core 1 Gig

Core 1 Gig is GFiber’s original internet, offering effortless reliability for fundamental needs.

With speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, it’s fast enough for:

  • Streaming TV and music
  • Browsing the internet
  • Sharing photos/short videos on social media

In other words, it’s perfect for people who want a “set it and forget it” internet that covers their foundational needs. 

Home 3 Gig

The Home 3 Gig product is built for multitasking homes, where work depends on great internet and life runs on it.

It’s great for:

  • Families
  • Working or school from home
  • Homes with lots of smart/IoT-connected devices
  • Casual gaming/VR

Basically, it’s dependable internet for the new normal, with everyone working, learning, and playing from home. To ensure every corner of the house stays connected, Home 3 Gig includes the GFiber Wi-Fi 7 Router and up to two mesh extenders at no extra cost. Customers also benefit from a special installation, where a professional technician tailors the network to the home’s specific layout, assesses the home’s wiring, and if eligible, can even hardwire up to two highest-use rooms, like a home office or gaming station, to the network for max speed and wired reliability there.

Edge 8 Gig

The Edge 8 Gig product is built for people who want boundary-defying internet for the no-limit experience — and maybe some bragging rights.

With speeds up to 8,000 Mbps, it’s one of the fastest residential internet options available.

It’s perfect for:

  • Tech enthusiasts
  • Content creators
  • Serious gamers
  • 3D Video conferencing
  • Creative professionals who move large CAD, video, and music files

It’s cutting-edge, future-proof, internet-powered for what you’re doing now and everything you’ll do next. To maximize speeds, Edge 8 Gig includes a professional-grade GFiber Wi-Fi 7 Router (including a 10 Gig port and three multi-gig ports) and up to two mesh extenders for expansive coverage. Like with Home 3 Gig, customers also benefit from a special installation, where a professional technician tailors the network to the home’s specific layout, assesses the home’s wiring, and, if eligible, can even hardwire up to two highest-use rooms, like a home office or gaming station, to the network for max speed and wired reliability there. In addition, Internet Battery Backup helps keep the connection live even when the power goes out for up to 2 hours.* Edge also includes an Uptime Guarantee for a 25% refund of your bill if the service goes down.**


Easy internet setup when you move in

One of the most stressful parts of moving is waiting around for utilities and internet service to get installed.

GFiber makes that process easier.

Professional installation included

GFiber includes professional installation to help get your connection set up the right way from the start, at no extra cost.

Also included for Home 3 Gig and Edge 8 Gig is a specialized installation service designed to ensure the internet works exactly where it's needed most. Rather than a standard one-size-fits-all setup, a GFiber professional technician works with the customer to identify the high-priority areas of their home — like a dedicated home office or a basement gaming den. The technician then customizes the Wi-Fi configuration and equipment placement to maximize performance in those specific spots, providing a tailored connection that stands up to the most demanding online activities.

That means a pro handles all the setup, so you can focus on unpacking (or finding the box with your coffee mugs).

Equipment included

Some internet providers charge monthly rental fees for routers or modems, which can quietly add up over time.

GFiber includes top-tier hardware and now offers custom-engineered Wi-Fi 7, so for the first time ever customers can get speeds of up to 3 Gigs over Wi-Fi. Everything you need is included with your product, helping keep your monthly bill simple and your multitasking home running at its best.

For larger homes, mesh Wi-Fi extenders can also help spread your connection throughout the house so you don’t lose signal in the back bedroom or basement. If needed, GFiber includes at least one mesh Wi-Fi extender with Core 1 Gig and up to two with Home and Edge.


Customers consistently rate GFiber highly

GFiber is consistently ranked among the nation's best ISPs by multiple sources.

Across surveys and reviews, customers often give GFiber high marks for:

And when you’re setting up service in a new home, it’s nice to know other people like you have had positive experiences.


Is GFiber available in your area?

GFiber currently serves many major cities across the United States and continues expanding into new locations.

If you’re moving soon, it’s worth checking whether GFiber is available at your new address.

Even if it’s not there yet, expansion projects are ongoing, and new neighborhoods are being added regularly.


The bottom line: GFiber is a smart choice for your new home

Setting up the internet may not be the most exciting part of moving — but choosing the right provider can make everyday life in your new home a lot easier.

GFiber offers a combination that's tough to beat:

  • Ultra-fast fiber speeds
  • Reliable performance
  • Straightforward pricing
  • No annual contracts or data caps
  • Free installation
  • Top-tier hardware included
  • Special installation experience for high-priority areas, if eligible
  • Internet Battery Backup for up to 2 hours of usage during a power outage, included with 8 Gig*
  • With 8 Gig: Uptime Guarantee for a 25% refund of your bill if the service goes down

Whether you’re working from home, streaming movies, gaming online, or running a house full of smart devices, GFiber delivers the speed and reliability to keep everything running smoothly.
