While the formal announcement may not come until next week at the earliest, anonymous industry sources reportedly told WRAL TechWire that Google Fiber will begin constructing in the Triangle as early as April to bring ultra-high-speed Internet to the Raleigh-Durham area. Google states that its Google Fiber service is up to 100 times faster than basic broadband speeds and operates at up to 1,000 megabits per second. Google Fiber was first constructed in Kansas City, and it later announced expansion plans in Provo, Utah, and Austin, Texas. Google announced last year that it was considering nine additional metro areas, including Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte, where it could potentially construct its high-speed Internet service.
