Thank CTOnews.com netizens Mengyu Qianyu for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, February 15 (Xinhua)-- after testing began in October last year, Google's Google Fiber 5Gbps Internet program finally began to be launched to a wide range of users.

The service initially covers only cities in Kansas City, West des Moines and Utah, but Google says the $125-a-month service will be extended to more regions later this year.

In other words, customers currently living in the metropolitan areas of Kansas City, West des Moines and Salt Lake City will be the first to enjoy the highest 5Gbps high-speed network. The new 5Gbps service includes an optional Wi-Fi 6 router, up to two mesh network extenders, and professional installation services for 10Gbps home networks.

According to reports, under the 5Gbps network, it only takes 11 minutes to get a good "Microsoft flight simulation". At present, Google is focusing on pervasive services and is committed to expanding its Google fiber optic network. In addition, Google added that it is developing a 8Gbps package, but that the service is still "about to be launched".

The service is designed to provide high-speed uploads and downloads for people who work with large files using cloud services, a leap-forward upgrade from Google's current 1-2.5 Gbps service.

In fact, Google started launching 5Gbps and 8Gbps fiber optic test packages for some users at the end of last year. At present, companies such as Frontier and Optimum in the United States have begun to provide 5Gbps services, but the price is higher ($155,180 per month, respectively).

Comcast, one of the largest Internet service providers in the United States, also said last year that it would launch "10Gbps" services in specific regional markets, and that it had completed the world's first field test of 10 Gigabit broadband, CTOnews.com reported.

Expanded reading: "US operator Comcast completes the world's first field test of 10 Gigabit broadband, uploading and downloading at speeds of up to several gigabytes."

Huawei: in the next decade, the broadband speed will reach 10Gbps per person, and the computing power and storage capacity will be increased by 100 times.
