JAKARTA - After testing for the high-speed internet last October, Google Fiber has finally started rolling out 5 Gig internet services in Kansas City, Des Moines, and all of Utah.

Based on its announcement, 5 Gig offers symmetric upload and download speeds with Wi-Fi 6 routers, up to two mesh extensions and professional installations, all for 125 US dollars (Rp) per foreigner.

"5 Gig will make it easier to upload and download simultaneously, regardless of the size of the file," Google said last October.

In addition, Head of Multi-gig and Commercial Product Nick Saporito said that 5 Gigs are designed to handle heavy internet user requests, for example, creative professionals, people who work in the cloud or with large data, households with large shared internet needs.

"5 Gig will make it easier to upload and download simultaneously, regardless of the file size, and will make streaming a dream even with many devices," continued Saporito.

Furthermore, Google claims that 5 Gig is a product that will make you fall in love quickly. The current launch is just the beginning. Google will launch it in more cities later this year. Unfortunately, it's not yet available in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Google is also planning to release internet service 8 Gig, which will ensure that everything you do online happens almost in real time. Although there is no definite time, Google revealed that 8 Gigs will be coming soon.

For information, Google Fiber launched internet service 1 Gig in 2010, then increased to 2 Gig in 2020, and 5 and 8 Gig in 2023.
