Google Fiber says it will continue wiring Salt Lake City and giving customers lightning-fast internet speeds — in spite of news last week that the company is abandoning a partly finished fiber-optic network in Kentucky due to technical problems.
A spokesman for the Mountain View, Calif.-based company said its operations in Utah’s capital city and in Provo would not be affected. That doesn’t mean Google Fiber’s build out here has gone as quickly as originally advertised, with some neighborhoods waiting years for the service to come online while the company has not offered a timeline for its completion.
