Google Fiber is available in Nashville, Tennessee, its fifth metro area, but for now is only installed in four apartment and condominium buildings, The Tennessean reported yesterday.

"The milestone comes 15 months after Google Fiber announced Nashville as a new market," the paper said. "In the meantime, existing providers AT&T and Comcast have upped their own fiber rollout in Middle Tennessee and have begun offering the ultra-fast connection to area homes and apartments."

A Google Fiber official said it intends to "connect the lion's share of Nashville," including single-family homes, multi-dwelling units, and small businesses, but it's not clear when that will happen. A list of the four buildings where Google Fiber is already installed can be found here, along with a list of many more buildings where "fiber is coming." The four Nashville buildings where Fiber is installed have a little more than 1,110 housing units combined.
