Google Fiber bringing internet service to Brookhaven

Brookhaven City Attorney Chris Balch.

“[Google has] already begun the engineering and work to put their broadband plans in place. This will actually allow us to start collecting revenues from their subscribers,” said Balch.

Google announced in October 2022 that high-speed internet service was coming to metro Atlanta markets including Buckhead and Brookhaven.

“We are excited to be expanding in the Atlanta metro area,” Google Head of Government and Community Affairs East Region Jess George said. Our team in Atlanta is overjoyed about the progress we’re making, and we’re thrilled to be in Brookhaven.”

Google Fiber is coming back to Brookhaven. A false start in 2015 is now a reality with the internet giant committing to serving the community.

Brookhaven City Council unanimously passed an ordinance in

January to establish an agreement with Google Fiber Georgia LLC for the installation of network facilities in the city’s right-of-way.

Brookhaven would be one of the first cities in Georgia to have a franchise agreement with Google to reinvigorate their broadband plan in the state, said

Residents will receive a door hanger with a hotline number 72 hours before construction begins. Google advised visiting www.google. com/fiber or calling 877454-6959, any time day or night.

The cost for Google fiber ranges from $70 to $100 per month for residential service, and $250 per month for small businesses. Plans include installation, equipment and repairs. The only thing that’s not included is a local tax or local fee.
