After a few months of construction the first wave of Mesa residents will have gigabit Internet access through Google Fiber.

Mesa is the first city in Arizona to have the service, with plans for most of the city to be connected over the next three years, according to a release.

Google Fiber’s fiber optic connection is made of glass strands and uses lasers to transmit information at rates close to the speed of light. This means a reliable connection with faster upload and download speed across multiple devices, it states.

On March 30 Google Fiber hosted a community appreciation event at Renegade Coffee Co. 1242 W. University Drive in Mesa, welcoming future customers with an opportunity to come get all their questions about gigabit internet answered with coffee and breakfast provided by Google Fiber.
