Fiber internet uses fiber-optic cables made of glass or plastic strands to transmit data as light signals, allowing for much faster and more reliable internet than copper-based connections like cable or DSL. Unlike cable, it doesn’t slow down during peak hours, and unlike DSL, it delivers significantly higher speeds and better overall performance.
Fiber internet speeds range from 100 mbps to multi gig. Upload and download speeds are symmetrical. Symmetrical speeds mean your upload speed is the same as your download speed. For example, 500 Mbps down and 500 Mbps up—ideal for video calls, cloud backups, gaming, and content creation.
Fiber is highly reliable and less affected by weather, electrical interference, or distance. It also experiences fewer outages compared to traditional copper networks.
During installation, we typically install aGigaspire U6 Wi-Fi 6 router to provide fast, reliable internet throughout your home. If additional coverage is needed, Gigaspire U4M mesh extenders can be added to expand Wi-Fi range. Customers who want the latest performance and features may also upgrade to the Gigaspire GS7 Wi-Fi 7 which is included in the Signature package or can be added to any package for $10 per month, offering enhanced speeds, capacity, and future-ready technology.
Our fiber internet plans includeunlimited data, so you don’t have to worry about data caps, overage charges, or throttling. You can stream, game, work, and connect multiple devices with confidence, knowing your internet usage is never limited.
Fiber internet is considered one of the most secure types of internet connections available. Unlike traditional copper lines, fiber-optic cables transmit data as light signals rather than electrical signals, making them extremely difficult to tap into without detection.
