So. You have fiber available.
What would be Google's prime reason to add to your choices? It likely wouldn't add to their bottom line in any material extent.
I am highly unlikely to consider a 20gb service at $250/month, but initiating that service is probably more cost effective and opportune for Google than pushing more fiber out.
I won't do business with AT&T and finally dumped Spectrum about a year ago for T-Mobile 5G wireless. T-Mobile continues to push development enhancements of their 5G network infrastructure.
T-Mobile Revs Up Millimeter Wave with 5G Standalone
December 06, 2023
T-Mobile worked with Ericsson and Qualcomm to pull off another 5G first, testing 5G standalone millimeter wave on its production network, delivering speeds topping 4.3 Gbps

I have been a long time customer of TMobile Wireless and tried their home Internet service for a few months. When it worked, it worked OK (50Mb+). When it didn't work so well, it was horrible, often less than 1Mb, which unfortunately occurred during prime time. I worked with Tech Support for a few weeks, but finally gave up. I get 500Mb from Spectrum for about the same price as with TMobile Internet.

T-Mobile now has new gateway modems that support an external antenna for customers who need to boost their signal levels. Unfortunately only new customers can get the new gateway and existing customers can't swap out their equipment except in very rare exceptions. Initially this was because of limited inventory availability constraints so I'm not sure if things have changed. I had Spectrum for many years but they wouldn't budge on price reductions and when T-Mobile offered me a $25/month price lock I jumped on it and haven't looked back. Now Spectrum wants me back and is offering special deals but that ship has sailed.
To be clear, these tests are not under real-world conditions.
Once upon a time Verizon was top dog, but T-Mobile is clearly showing that they're not willing to play follow the leader when it comes to 5G and are pushing the bleeding edge of new development.
T-Mobile doesn't develop anything. Neither do AT&T and Verizon. They buy equipment from Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, Huawei, NEC, and ZTE who supply all the mobile operators worldwide. With some additional players (e.g. Apple, Qualcomm, LG), these suppliers hash out the details of the 5G and 6G standards and develop the technologies to realize the products.
T-Mobile has prototype equipment from those suppliers in their labs, of course. But the main things a mobile operator worries about are spectrum, finances, tower and rooftop access, and consumer marketing. That's how they engage in oneupmanship.
I really like that shirt. Wearing it right now in fact, under something heavier.
