Google WiFi for Starbucks cafes in US

Google on Wednesday said it has been signed on to provide free high-speed wireless Internet service at all Starbucks cafes in the United States.

Google will roll out WiFi service to the coffee giant’s 7,000 US cafes in the coming 18 months, replacing telecom titan AT&T as Internet provider. “When your local Starbucks WiFi network goes Google, you’ll be able to surf the web at speeds up to 10x faster than before,” Google Access general manager Kevin Lo said in a blog post.

“If you’re in a Google Fiber city, we’re hoping to get you a connection that’s up to 100x faster.”

Google in April announced that the Utah city of Provo will be the third US city to get its experimental high-speed Fiber Internet service that promises to move data at a gigabyte-per-second.

The Google Internet service is spreading to Austin, Texas, after a successful pilot in Kansas City.
