Bandwidth is one of the most misunderstood aspects of home internet. So, we’re going to step through what it really means and how it affects your internet experience.

Wireless internet routers enabled us to free ourselves from ethernet and coax cables long ago. But as our need for more internet bandwidth has grown with each new convenience, our home networks have gotten more congested.

When you add up all the mobile phones, tablets and laptops floating around your home, then consider the cord-cutting streaming TV services and smart home IoT devices, it’s not hard to see why. Currently in the U.S., there are an average of 22 networked, or smart, devices in every household.

Long, thin strands of pure glass about the size of a human hair are the foundation of the world’s fastest internet, capable of connection speeds many times faster than coaxial cable. When bundled together, these strands create a cable that allows information to travel through them in a beam of light over long distances.

Having Gigabit fiber internet means your entire household has the bandwidth to stream movies, play games online, video conference and much more, all at once—plus, you get the symmetrical speeds that keep you in real time, all the time. 

Long, thin strands of pure glass about the size of a human hair are the foundation of the world’s fastest internet, capable of connection speeds up to 40 times faster than typical internet speeds. When bundled together, these strands create a cable that allows information to travel through them in a beam of light over long distances.
