Alphabet today announced today that its Google Fiber ISP division will no longer offer TV service to new customers and will instead market virtual pay TV platform fuboTV.
Google Fiber is also phasing out its 100 Mbps service and is only 1 Gbps products in the 18 regions it still operates.
As for fuboTV, it’s base-priced at $55 a month, offering over 100 channels, some of them with 4K, and 500 hours of virtual DVR storage.
Google Fiber also recently entered a deal with Google to sell virtual MVPD YouTube TV to customers when they sign up for broadband service.

Our partnership with fuboTV is in addition to one with YouTube TV, announced in December. Now, new Google Fiber customers have at least two options to choose how they want to get the live and on-demand programming they know and love. Of course, customers can always sign up for any of the many other streaming services on their own — we’ll provide the Internet!
