Google is currently in talks with three additional cities regarding fiber builds - as of now, Irvine, Calif., Louisville, Ky., and San Diego are the cities that will potentially get Google Fiber, according to Ars Technica.
Google Fiber is Google's fiber internet service that provides broadband internet and cable television to a select number of locations, although this number is currently growing. The cost is currently set at $70 per month for internet and at least $130 with the TV service.
"We'll work with Irvine, Louisville and San Diego to conduct a detailed study of factors that affect construction, such as local topography, housing density, and the condition of existing infrastructure," said Google. "Meanwhile, cities will complete a checklist of items - such as providing a map of utility lines - that will prepare them for a large-scale fiber build."
The internet service possesses a broadband speed of a gigabit per second (1,000 megabits), which is at least 20 times faster than conventional broadband speeds, according to The Courier-Journal.
Google is planning on continuing its expansion and has six more cities in its sights, according to Venture Beat.
"Every city is different and will move on a unique timeline, so we'll keep in touch with residents about our progress along the way," said Jill Szuchmacher, Google Fiber expansion director. "It's clear that Irvine, Louisville, and San Diego have strong leaders at city hall who are passionate about bringing fiber to their communities and making the Internet more accessible for everyone."
