What is fiber internet?

Fiber is the gold standard in high-speed internet technology. Data moves as pulses of light over extremely thin strands of fiberglass, a fraction of the thickness of a strand of hair. This light-speed data transmission provides the upload speeds necessary for smooth video calls, lag-free gaming, seamless file sharing, and households with multiple, heavy internet users.

What's the difference between fiber and cable internet?

Cable internet typically relies on copper wires to deliver data. This technology was originally designed to bring TV to the home and is not capable of symmetrical upload and download speeds. Fiber internet uses bundles of fiberglass, each fiber thinner than a strand of hair, to transmit data at the speed of light. Fiber is the only internet technology capable of delivering the upload speeds you need for seamless video conferencing, large file sharing, gaming, and connecting your smart home.

What does it mean to have symmetrical internet speeds?

Symmetrical internet speeds mean your upload speeds are as fast as your download speeds. Most internet technologies have fast download speeds, which allow you to e-mail, surf the web, and stream your favorite shows. But it’s your upload speed that determines the amount of data that can be sent from your devices to the internet. Faster upload speeds mean it’s easier to share your videos, pictures, documents, and real-time gaming experiences. Fiber internet is the only technology able to deliver symmetrical speeds.
