It has also been difficult for Fiber to shake rumors that it’s anything more than an experiment . Having a presence in only two cities doesn’t help, and Google has made no promises of expanding the service anytime in the near future. For now, it continues to sit pretty in Kansas City, while the rest of the country pines away for it.

Worth an investment?
While Google is being fickle about Fiber, it bears repeating that this company is, well, Google. Regardless of its reputation as a cable company, Google doesn’t just dominate search — it’s synonymous with the concept. Expanding its already recognizable brand into the world of cable would be an expansion into new territory, but even if the company doesn’t follow through with it, its 71% increase in revenue since 2010, and 21% net profit, prove it is still a solid staple for a stock portfolio.
