Those in North Carolina may soon have a new option for internet service: Google Fiber.

The Web giant is reportedly gearing up to launch its super-fast gigabit internet service in Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham as early as next week. According to a report from the Charlotte Observer, Google has already sent out invitations for an event Wednesday evening in Charlotte, promising "more details to come." A separate report from Raleigh's News & Observer indicates Google is planning to hold a similar event in the Raleigh-Durham area.

The news comes almost a year after Google picked Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham as two of the 34 cities where it was considering a rollout of Fiber, which offers Internet speeds up to 100 times faster than today's average broadband. Google was scheduled to make a decision on its next Fiber cities by the end of 2014, but in December, it pushed that announcement until this year.

Google's invite doesn't give too much away, but the list of recipients hints that Fiber is on the horizon. In Charlotte, invitees include City Manger Ron Carlee, County Manager Dena Diorio, and representatives from Charlotte Hearts Gigabit, a nonprofit that supports high-speed Internet deployment in the area.

Google Fiber is already available in Kansas City and some surrounding suburbs, as well as Provo, Utah, and Austin, Texas. Users can shell out $70 for super-fast Web speeds, up to 1,000 Mbps upload and download speeds, and 1TB of Google cloud storage. Those looking for the full Fiber experience can sign up for gigabit-plus-TV service for $130 per month. Subscribers get the same perks listed above, with the addition of 150-plus channels and the ability to record up to eight shows at once.

In June, AT&T announced a deal with Raleigh to bring its super-fast U-verse with GigaPower to residents and businesses in the area. That rollout began in December, according to the News & Observer, though AT&T has since "paused" its gigabit Internet rollout amidst the uncertainty surrounding net neutrality.
