Google Fi Launches a Super Network Combining Two 5G Networks and Millions of Wi-Fi Hotspots

Google Fi Wireless has launched a new super network that automatically switches between two of America's fastest 5G networks and millions of premium Wi-Fi networks, giving every plan the fastest speeds and most expansive coverage in the nation, according to Google.

The network switching is rolling out starting today on Pixel 9 and newer phones, and every Google Fi plan includes access to both 5G networks. Unlike other major carriers, Google says, Fi switches between the networks in real time, and if a primary connection drops it moves to a secondary data connection so customers stay on a strong signal with fewer dead zones.

In crowded indoor spaces such as airports and malls, Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ now connects to high-quality Wi-Fi in millions more locations without going into settings or logging in, and secures the connection with automatic encryption. The feature is available on Pixel devices and is rolling out to select Samsung and Motorola phones.

The super network also works internationally, with network switching and Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ available abroad. It is included in the Unlimited Premium and Flexible plans at no extra cost.

Google has also added Ask Fi, a support agent powered by Google AI, directly in the Fi app for instant account help and troubleshooting.

For new subscribers, Google is offering $500 off instantly and $599 back over 24 monthly credits when buying the new Google Pixel 11 Pro, plus a $10 per month service credit for two years with the Unlimited Premium plan. That offer ends November 18, 2026. Customers who already have a Pixel but do not use Google Fi can get 50% off select unlimited plans for 12 months, an offer that ends December 1, 2026. Terms apply.
