If you’ve ever walked from one room to another and watched your WiFi signal drop midstream, you’ve experienced the limits of traditional WiFi.

While older generations of WiFi were based around a single router in one corner of the house, mesh WiFi technology combines multiple, overlapping access points to blanket every room, so your video call in the kitchen is just as smooth as your streaming movie in the bedroom.

The internet connection running into your house is only as good as the signal you get once it’s inside. That last step — from fiber-optic cable to all your connected devices via WiFi — is often where speed gives way to dead zones and dropped calls.

But Connect WiFi, C Spire’s new managed home network service powered by the Amazon eero system, is closing the gap for good.

By the time you’ve found your freshman dorm or apartment, dragged your mini-fridge up three flights of stairs, and met the roommate whose sleep schedule opposes yours in every way, you’ll already be playing catch-up — syllabi are flying, Canvas is blinking with due dates, and your group chat for Intro to Psych is asking where the quiz link went.

Now imagine doing all that on a sketchy connection that buckles when the WiFi gets crowded.

Technology is as essential to moving as boxes and tape. In fact, planning a successful move can take place entirely online. Even the smallest moving companies now have their own apps for estimating, scheduling and communicating with you.

Fiber internet isn’t just fast, it’s crazy reliable. That makes it perfect for anything you can’t afford to have crash, lag or slow down. Fiber’s rock-solid performance keeps everything running like it should.

Getting reliable, high-speed internet service to rural and underserved areas is one of the great connectivity challenges of the day.

While some out-of-the-way locations may have access to outdated internet technologies like DSL and cable, and possibly even earlier 4G LTE fixed wireless, new 5G-powered fixed wireless solutions (like C Spire 5G Home Internet) have changed the game.
