Google Fiber has made gigabit Internet speeds seem tantalizingly within reach of so many Americans… unfortunately, it’s just not available to most of us.

But Internet service providers in various cities are promising gigabit fiber to the home with increasing frequency. Just this week, regional mobile ISP C Spire announced a competition to select a Mississippi community for gigabit service. Last week, an ISP in Chattanooga, Tennessee dropped its gigabit prices to $70 a month.

So just where do you have to live to get gigabit speeds? Let’s take a look at (mostly US) cities and regions that provide gigabit service to residents or have it in the works. Note that gigabit service isn’t necessarily available to all or even most of the homes in these cities. If we missed any, let us know.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
