Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) buildouts and the pursuit of multi-gigabit broadband is all the rage these days. That activity spans a wide range of use cases – from upgrades of old copper plant, overlays of existing hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks, “edge-outs” to adjacent areas, and relative greenfield areas that are lacking solid broadband connectivity or competition.

The internet is the heartbeat of the modern home. We’ve come to rely on it for work, education, entertainment, and shopping. Fiber is the best solution to provide internet because it is:
Symmetrical speeds are when upload and download speeds are equal. Older mediums like cable and DSL are asymmetrical, meaning you aren’t able to upload data as quickly as you can download it. When your speeds are symmetrical it means video calls work better, video games play faster, and your photos upload in an instant.
Fiber-optic networks are built to transmit data through a thin fiber glass strand using pulses of light. Because each strand is dedicated to each home, there is no sharing of bandwidth between neighbors. In addition, fiber-optic networks need very little electrical power to operate. The data is transmitted at the same speed to the home as it is away from the home with very little lag. Fiber-optic networks are the fastest and most reliable home internet technology available today.
5G is a form of wireless broadband delivered using nearby cell towers while fiber-optic internet is connected directly to your home. FTTH (fiber to the home) connections provide dedicated bandwidth while a 5G shares bandwidth with your neighbors. Though 5G wireless is great for mobile devices when you aren’t home, fiber-optic is much faster and more reliable to use for the many connected devices within your home.
Yes. In most cases you will be able to keep your existing services. However, once you move to our services, you’ll have enough speed and bandwidth to manage all your services over the internet. It’s also easy to move to a voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) service like Google Voice or Vonage where you can keep your phone number. You always have the option to remove your home phone altogether in favor of using your cell exclusively instead. Most national security monitoring companies offer “cut the cable cord” services with faster response times than a landline can offer.
