Google Fiber will not be bringing super-fast Internet service to metro Phoenix as hoped, at least for now, the company announced today.
Last year, the company announced the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tempe area was under consideration, along with several other metro areas where the company hoped to install fiber networks.
The service is about 100 times faster than basic broadband connections, and Google already is offering it in limited locations nationwide.
“We aren’t saying no to anyone,” said Kevin Lo, head of business operations for Google Fiber. “We continue to explore bringing Google Fiber to the remaining areas. We just want to make sure we get everything right.”
