Gigabit Squared to Launch in Some Seattle Neighborhoods in 2014

Gigabit Squared plans to launch service in some neighborhoods of Seattle in 2014, featuring free 5 Mbps service for five years, 100 Mbps download/100 Mbps upload for $45 per month or a gigabit for $80 a month.

The Gigabit Squared fiber network will initially be made available to neighborhoods located within the University of Washington West Campus District, First Hill, Capitol Hill and Central Area of Seattle as part of a program called Gigabit Seattle.

Installation charges will be waived for customers signing a one-year contract for 100 Mbps service or greater.  Otherwise, a $350 installation fee is required.

Plan A offers 5 Mbps download/1 Mbps upload at no charge for five years. After five years renters or owners can convert to a 10 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload service plan for $10 a month.

Plan B offers 100 Mbps download/100 Mbps upload for $45 per month, with no installation charge with one- year contract

Plan C is a symmetrical gigabit connection costing  $80 per month with no installation charge with one-year contract.

The Gigabit Squared plans show the Google Fiber model is spreading.
