Google made the following announcement today:
“Today, we’re ready to start building our Google Fiber network in metro Atlanta. With the design of our Google Fiber network completed, you’ll see us around town digging and stringing fiber cables so that we can deliver Google Fiber’s superfast Internet to the city. As we lay thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable throughout Metro Atlanta, we’ll keep residents updated along the way.” — Fabiola Charles, Google Fiber Community Impact Manager, Metro Atlanta
Google has informed us that, while construction on the Google Fiber network will begin in Midtown Atlanta, the areas where construction starts first are not necessarily the first to get service. Construction work will start in the rest of the metro area, including Decatur, in the coming months. Decatur staff continue to work closely with Google to plan for a streamlined construction process. We will continue to keep the community informed and up-to-date on the latest developments in the Google Fiber construction process.
