Core 1 Gig Overview

Core 1 Gig is designed for people who use the internet for the everyday — like browsing and streaming — in an apartment or smaller home. Core 1 Gig serves up a premium experience for internet users who value no-fuss, reliable Wi-Fi that they can “set and forget”.

If you’re looking to do more with your internet, Home 3 Gig or Edge 8 Gig might be a better fit.

What is the price of Core 1 Gig? 

Core 1 Gig is $70, the same price as our original 1 Gig launch back in 2012.

What are the benefits?

  • Symmetrical 1 gig speeds: that means 1 gig upload and download speeds. (upload speed is the rate that online data is transferred from your Router to the Internet, while download speed refers to the rate that digital data is transferred from the Internet to your Router)
  • Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 6E Router and a Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Extender
  • Ethernet connections
  • Simplicity, reliability, and a seamless experience 

Speed specifics

You get symmetrical download and upload speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second with Core 1 Gig. Whether you’re using a wired or wireless connection, you’ll be able to enjoy the maximum speed of your internet with the GFiber Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 6E Router, which is included when you purchase Core 1 Gig. Check out this article for more information about the maximum speeds you can get with your GFiber devices.

Hardware specifics

Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 6E Router is included in your plan and a Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Extender is available in your new plan based on your home layout and Wi-Fi needs. You can purchase more extenders by logging in to your account or by contacting us

You can also use your own compatible multi-gig router instead of the one provided by GFiber.
