Google Fiber Will Light Up Tempe in 2026: Everything Residents & Businesses Should Know
Google Fiber began construction June 18 in Tempe’s Warner Ranch, installing 85,000 feet of fiber with first activations expected in 2026. Tempe is the fourth Phoenix-area city for GFiber, offering speeds up to 20 Gbps using Nokia’s 25G PON technology. The city’s 2024 agreement streamlines permits, and microtrenching is being used to speed installation. GFiber is also testing 50 Gbps service and pairing fiber with fixed-wireless Webpass.
