Google has announced today that Kansas City, Kansas will be the first city to get the search giant's fiber optic network.
Kansas City has a population of around 145,000.
The network promises speeds of 500-1000 Mbps and is easily 100 times faster than what the average American has, currently.
Google's fiber network will be completed in 2012.
The company has promised it has no plans to become an ISP so the move is likely a way to get the ball rolling on improved networks in parts of the country where Internet is slow, and competition is non-existent.
