Speed Specifics: What is Core 1 Gig?

What are symmetrical speeds? Download speed is the rate digital data travels from the internet to your device. Upload speed is the rate data travels from your router back to the internet. Symmetrical plans give you equal speed for both, ensuring lag-free video calls and fast file sharing.

The Core 1 Gig plan provides a highly reliable, premium internet baseline. It features a symmetrical connection, meaning your upload and download capabilities are perfectly balanced:

Maximum Download Speed: Up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) through a wired connection.
Maximum Upload Speed: Up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) through a wired connection.

Hardware Specifics & Wi-Fi Coverage

To deliver these speeds efficiently throughout your space, your Core 1 Gig plan includes state-of-the-art networking equipment tailored to your home's layout.

Included Router: A premium Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 6E Router comes standard with your plan to maximize both wired and wireless performance.
Mesh Coverage: A Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Extender is available depending on your home layout to seamlessly eliminate dead zones in larger configurations or apartments with thick walls.
Custom Hardware: If you prefer, you can use your own compatible multi-gig router instead of the provided GFiber equipment.

Plan Details & Managing Your Account

Core 1 Gig is priced at $70 per month (plus applicable taxes), maintaining the same simple pricing footprint established during our original 1 Gig launch.

Account Upgrades & Policy Guidelines

Upgrading Your Plan: You can easily step up to Home 3 Gig or Edge 8 Gig via your online web portal or the GFiber mobile app. Note that if you upgrade to a newer lifestyle product, you cannot downgrade back to original or retired plan structures (1 Gig, 2 Gig, 5 Gig, or 8 Gig).
Downgrades & Equipment Retention: Customers downgrading plans can generally keep their existing hardware placement. However, specialized hardware additions like the Internet Battery Backup must be returned upon service downgrade to avoid recurring fees.
Service Cancellation Policy: If you choose to cancel your GFiber service entirely, all hardware must be returned within 60 days of cancellation to avoid a standard equipment replacement fee and applicable taxes.
