When Bruce Smith of Ellisville, Mississippi, switched his internet to C Spire Fiber, he was amazed by the speed and reliability.

"Now that I have C Spire fiber, I get approximately 600MB-plus download speed left over after I've got all my devices running, and almost 980MB upload speed all the time. There's no comparison—we're talking more than a hundred times better."

When bad weather strikes, you’re likely to lose your internet, too.
