Google Fiber coming to Shawnee, KS.

An agreement has been reached between Google and the city of Shawnee. There is a special city council meeting tonight to vote on the plan.

Per KC Star website

How long is it going to take to get Google Fiber to these cities once they announce the deals?

Does anyone actually have it yet?

I'm scheduled for a Summer install, but I honestly haven't heard a word from anyone actually using this yet.

This, why can't they get it every home in KC, KS before the move on............

Here's a story from the Star about some of the problems a few of the customers have had so far. Overall they are happy with it though.

I'm still pissed that KC beat out Topeka.

:clap::thumb:

Cool. We live in KC, but are real close to Raytown, and close to the current boundary for google fiber. Hopefully when they expand towards Raytown, they can get our neighborhood along the way!

yeah i'm in the same situation, in KC right next to Raytown but out of their current plans. I'll be watching their updated maps, but i doubt they'll include me since my area is sparsely populated.

Eta that this reaches Olathe? Been holding out getting a contract from Comcast

According to some interactive government map I saw, my area isn't getting gigabit internet for atleast 5 years. Damnit.

You can add Grandview to the list too.

bastard beat me to it




Google Fiber Expanding To Grandview, MO
By Daniel Perez on 05/08/2013


Google Fiber has been slowly, but surely, expanding itself as Google recently announced it expects to release the service in Provo, Utah in late 2013 and Austin, Texas by 2014. A new city is being announced today as Google Fiber will now expand to Grandview, Missouri.

At this time, Google has yet to reveal when exactly Grandview will begin to get Google Fiber, although in their announcement blog post, they did say “it will still be awhile.” Prior to its expansion into Grandview, Google says they need to “plan and engineer our network there first” which for the most part means the expansion is in its confirmation stages and is nowhere near its actual implementation phase.

The confirmation of Google Fiber’s expansion was solidified on Tuesday evening as the Board of Aldermen voted to bring the service to its community. This makes us wonder what our local town representatives are doing all day as they should be calling Google day and night to get us Fiber ASAP.
