Google Fiber is coming to Austin, Texas, after a short delay to the service rollout. This will be Google Fiber's third city and should be the biggest in terms of population.

Like the Kansas City business model, Google will offer three separate residential options. Google will also be working on more fiberhoods for education and public facilities.

The three options will include:

• 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload speed for free, after customer pays $300 installation fee.
  

• 1Gbps fiber Internet for $70 per month.
  

• 1Gbps fiber internet, access to 150 channels and 1TB of cloud storage for $130 per month.
  

The first option is for anyone who is not too bothered about speeds and wants some free Internet. This could be good for rental properties, allowing tenants who want fiber optic Internet to instantly pick a new package available from Google.

The second and third option are for all who want 1Gbps fiber optic broadband. Google Fiber is currently one of the only Internet service providers offering this sort of speed - Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon all offer under 300Mbps and in most areas - less than 50Mbps.

AT&T has been trying to promote new fiber optic investments, recently upgrading lines in Austin to 300Mbps, and afterwards 1Gbps. The company has drawn criticism for only upgrading the networks when competition enters the region.

The investment stopped last week, when CEO of AT&T Randall Stephenson said the company would not invest in fiber optic infrastructure until the FCC cleared the net neutrality deal, leading the FCC to question AT&T's current acquisition terms with DirecTV.

Austin, Texas is one of the not-so-well-known "Silicon Valley" type cities. Several are dotted around the U.S. and are full of young tech startups and Austin has a large amount of media companies, involved in both traditional TV and new businesses like YouTube.

Google has not announced any business programs yet for Fiber in Austin, the rollout should be a lot quicker than it was in Kansas City, due to previous infrastructure in the city. The search giant did not give a set time when Fiber would be available, simply allowing customers to sign-up for December.
