Recently, Dinni Jain, CEO of Google Optical, said that at present, the fastest downlink speed of Google Optical is 2Gig and the uplink speed is 1Gig, but the company will soon introduce more gigabit speed options.

Jain, a former executive of Time Warner Cable TV and Insight Communications, said that Google Optical will significantly expand its gigabit options in the next few months. However, Jain did not disclose the specific speed level and pricing. At present, the fastest speed of Google Optical — 2Gig downlink and 1Gig uplink — is $100 per month, and its symmetrical 1Gig service is $70 per month.

 

But Jain pointed out that the upcoming Multi Gig option of Google Optical Fiber is an important milestone on the company’s path to 100Gig symmetric Internet.

 

At the same time, Google Optical claimed that it had made some progress in testing. After the early laboratory test, Google Optical carried out a home test at the home of Nick Saporito, the business strategy director in Kansas City. The test results showed that the downstream transmission rate was 20.2Gbit/s.

 

Jain wrote: “For a long time, the differentiated service of Google Optical has been our goal, that is, the Internet should be measured in gigabytes rather than megabytes.”

 

Google Optical is introducing new and faster products, because the speed provided by major broadband providers in the United States has far exceeded 1Gig, and some of them provide 2Gig, 5Gig or even 10Gig symmetric services. At the same time, American cable TV operators, including Comcast, are already laying the foundation for the symmetrical multi gig service launched in specific markets using DOCSIS 4.0 next year.

 

Jain said: “We believe that many communities in the United States (if not the vast majority) will eventually be served by at least two fiber optic providers and one veteran coaxial cable supplier. We see this in the communities we plan to build, and we expect this industry investment to continue.”

 

In addition to speed and pricing, Google Optical did not indicate the launch schedule of the new Multi gig service, nor did it indicate which markets were first launched. Google Optical was asked to clarify whether the new Multi gig service will be limited to the company’s FTTP coverage or will also be applied to its fixed wireless platform Webpass.

 

But Jain promises to further introduce how Google Optical builds the network and how to maximize the speed in customers’ homes in the next few weeks.
