I used to rail against articles like this, but like your real dad who always promises to show up for your birthdays and never does, gfiber just isn’t there.

I no longer trust google to have a long enough attention span for anything. They’ve proven time and time again that they’ll cut any service they get bored with or that doesn’t take off immediately. Their abandoning of good projects has become a bitter joke in the tech world.

I'm not going to hold my breath but I'd say count them down but not out. They're always up to something and in this case specifically may switch to wireless or hybrid like fi.

I admit I am a bit biased as I've been burned by Comcast, ATT and Time Warner and G fiber has been a godsend.

I just got service last month, too! First bill payment in a few days. So they haven't completely stopped.

Happy Fiber customer here.

When they rolled out in our area Time Warner/Spectrum immediately bumped everyone’s bandwidth bigly at no extra cost. AT&T rolled out a competing fiber service that beat Google to many parts of our area.

So I know it’s fallen short, but in my market it spurred competition and has been a solid product in its own right. I’m not mad about it.

This. I live in a market that has Google fiber but don't have it available in my area yet. Both spectrum and AT&T have upgraded their bandwidth. I now have gigabit fiber from AT&T which was NOT available before Google came to this market.
