Faster internet is always better, but how much speed does your household actually need?
Fiber optics are the key to unlocking your home network’s full potential, and the most common tiers now available are tailored for different types of usage. Here is a look at what you can expect from each level of fiber internet.
Tier I: Up to 300 Mbps
With the number of connected devices now in our homes, internet speed and bandwidth (yes, they’re different — but closely related) are more important than ever. However, if you are a one-person household, or if you have a small household and light streaming needs, this entry tier will cover your needs.
Tier II: Up to 500 Mbps
Small but growing families can experience the speeds and bandwidth they need to meet their home internet requirements here. Streaming media, connected devices and other typical applications will be smooth and steady as your household begins to grow.
Tier III: Up to 1 Gbps
Gigabit internet has become the gold standard for most users, and it’s no mystery why. For a majority of households, a Gigabit connection hits the sweet spot of speed and bandwidth, giving users plenty of both without compromising either. Thanks to low latency, this is where bedroom online gamers turn pro and online collaboration truly takes off.
Tier IV: Up to 2 Gbps
At this level, you’re consuming high volumes of internet data every day from multiple media streams on connected devices all throughout your home. Smart gadgets and high-definition video security systems don’t even break a sweat. Files are uploaded and downloaded before you can snap your fingers. There isn’t much this amount of home-internet power can’t accomplish.
Tier V: Up to 8 Gbps
Ever thought about running a connected supercomputer from your home? Piece of cake. With internet speeds up to 8 Gigabits per second and the maximum amount of bandwidth, you’ll be at the far-leading edge of home internet capabilities. This tier is especially beneficial for large households with very high internet demands.
