Google Fiber heads to Shawnee, Kansas

The high-speed Internet service may not arrive all that quickly. Google says it still has "a lot of planning and engineering work" to complete before bringing Fiber to the city.

Google Fiber is making its way to another part of Kansas.

The search giant on Thursday announced that Shawnee, located just outside of Kansas City, has voted to bring Google Fiber to its residents. Google Fiber is already available in Kansas City, the first location to get the Google high-speed Internet service.

Google Fiber has started to slowly expand its footprint across the U.S., with the company recently announcing that it'll be made available to Austin, Texas, residents. Provo, Utah will also receive Fiber service.

Google on Thursday did not say when its service will be available to Shawnee residents, since it still has "a lot of planning and engineering work" to complete before bringing Fiber to the city.
