Google Fiber Adds More Nashville Neighborhoods

NASHVILLE, TN — Google Fiber is now available in a larger swath of Nashville, as the company expanded access to its high-speed internet service to neighborhoods stretching from East Nashville to West End.

Single-family homes in East Nashville, Edgehill, Midtown, Music Row, Hillsboro Village, Acklen Park, Sylvan Height and West End/Vanderbilt can now sign-up for the service, which was already available in certain apartment complexes and condominiums downtown and in The Gulch, Germantown, Midtown and East Nashville, as well as single-family homes in Sylvan Park and Charlotte Park.

After a months-long kerfuffle involving utility poles and pavement-ripping, traffic-slowing installation of the fiber, news on Google's Nashville expansion had gone relatively quiet until this week's announcement, leading many to speculate whether the internet giant intended to complete its promised Metro-wide roll out.

Google will not be the first gigabit speed service in many neighborhoods — Comcast and AT&T already have their high-speed service rolled out to a significant portion of the county. Google is continuing to offer its TV service in Nashville, despite axing it elsewhere.
