Gigabit Internet will be available for $70 a month and 100Mbps will cost $50 a month. Gigabit Internet with TV service is $140 a month. There are no data caps on any of the tiers. Phone service can be added for $10.
The initial deployment “will cover roughly 112 blocks from 100 South to 800 South between 400 West and 1300 East,” The Salt Lake Tribune reported today. Assuming demand is high, installations “could take a week or more after customers apply.” Google Fiber said that other parts of the city will get the service within months but offered no more specific timeline.
