Bring Google’s Fiber Experiment to Topeka!

Google has announced plans to build out high speed fiber networks in a few test communities across the country as part of their initiative to make high speed internet faster, and cheaper to deploy.

We can help make Topeka one of their test communities by voicing our opinions about high speed internet access in our community!

Topeka’s internet services are limited to two major carriers, who don’t compete directly (DSL vs Cable). AT&T’s Fiber Service (U-Verse) is slow to deploy, and only offered in certain parts of town. Cox offers fiber connectivity, but the up front costs are beyond what an individual can afford.

To nominate Topeka all you have to do is visit this URL and answer a few questions!
