TAMPA (CBSMiami/AP) — Two cities in Florida have been added to the growing list of communities being offered high-speed internet considered a hundred times faster than normal.
On Wednesday, tech giant Google announced they plan to bring their "Google Fiber" service to Jacksonville and Tampa, as long as city leaders approve.
Now part of the redesigned Alphabet, Inc., Google Fiber promises to not only deliver comparably priced online content at faster speeds than existing Internet service providers, but will also come with more than a hundred HD channels.
The service is currently up and running in select cities across the U.S. and is scheduled to launch in more than 20 others in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Utah, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.
Google Fiber is also considering cities in California, Arizona, Oregon and Kentucky.
