Back in 2021, Google Fiber got a new logo after using just a wordmark for the past decade. The latest branding change has Google Fiber increasingly leverage “GFiber.”

“Google” not as much of a selling point anymore? Or are they gonna sell it off?

Google has been using just "G" as a prefix for product names almost as long as it has existed. Remember Gmail?

Yo, it's G cause it's from the streets.

But didn’t it start as gmail? Gsuite started like that, idk what else there is. But transitioning from Google X to GX I don’t think is something they’ve done much if at all.

Gsuite started as Google Apps for your domain

Itll be in the dust bin 2 years down the road so yeah no one trusts google products to be long term.

To be entirely honest I thought it had been already until just recently when I saw they wanted to expand to 10G networking. They’ve almost entirely stopped rolling out to new areas from what I can tell

They just rolled out millions in new fiber lines in my area. I had them for internet since 2018, moved out of their area, and now I am in their area getting their service again.

You are incorrect about that stagnation. Google has breathed new life into fiber offerings.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can I assume that you like their service?

[–] sudoshakes@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes. The free cloud storage doesn’t hurt either

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How much are they giving you?

[–] sudoshakes@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Back when I had it, it was a free 2 TB of google cloud storage with the fiber account.
