CHICAGO — Google wants to bring "Fiber," its super-fast Internet service, to Chicago — a high-speed, high-tech offering that would compete directly with existing providers like Comcast.

The tech giant — which just opened a new office in the West Loop — announced Tuesday morning that it will "explore" bringing Google Fiber to Los Angeles and Chicago.

The two cities would be the largest to date eyed by Google, which previously launched the service it calls "faster than a Cheetah" in places like Provo, Utah and Kansas City.

"With the help of gigabit Internet, Chicago and L.A. can boost their creative cultures with Internet speed to match their size," Google wrote in a blog post announcing the move.
