What is fiber internet?
Fiber optic internet is a type of broadband internet service that uses fiber-optic cables to transmit data via beams of light up to 1,000 times faster than traditional copper cables.
Faster data speeds mean speedier upload and download speeds, shorter loading time on websites, and streaming without lagging. Plus, fiber cables are tougher to extract data from it, making it more secure and can also better withstand the elements .

A. The biggest difference between broadband and fiber Internet is how data is transmitted.

Fiber Internet transmits data as light through strands of glass over a private connection, offering faster speeds of up to 10 Gbps, more security and guaranteed reliability.

A. No. If you live in our growing Fiber service area, you’ll automatically be given Fiber Internet.
Q. Do I need special equipment if I am given Fiber or will I have to pay more than traditional cable internet?
A. No to both. Our Fiber Internet pricing is the same as our traditional cable internet. There’s no equipment charges and installation is as easy and quick as our traditional cable internet. We’ve kept the installation process as easy as it has always been so you won’t notice a difference.
Q. How fast is Business Fiber Internet?
