Google Fiber making fast progress in Round Rock

Published on July 18, 2024 under RRnews

Google Fiber is making lightning fast progress with the first Round Rock residents expected to have access to GFiber, and the ability to “go live” with the service this August.

Microtrenching construction to lay fiber lines will continue throughout the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, with service becoming available to more Round Rock residents as portions of the network are completed in their area.

To date more than 300,000 linear feet of microtrenching has been completed in Round Rock, which is approximately 10% of the total 3.3 million linear feet required to service the entire community.

City staff are working closely with Google Fiber and associated construction crews to mitigate impacts as the network is installed. Flyers and doorhangers will be placed in neighborhoods to alert residents when construction is near being active in their area.

Residents with questions or concerns during active microtrenching can call 877-454-6959 to access the GFiber hotline for additional information.
