Your internet provider isn’t delivering on its promise of a fast, reliable connection, and that seems to be the norm with most of the internet providers in your area. The thought of switching to a new provider is exhausting. It’s never smooth, and it's never stress-free. If this scenario sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone. We hear it all the time when people switch to C Spire Fiber. But you don’t have to be stuck with poor service, lagging internet and no hope for improvement.

But still, many internet users would rather stay with their current providers than change. In fact, [43 percent of them](https://www.fcc.gov/news-events/blog/2010/12/06/internet-service-would-you-switch-and-why) avoid switching for the hassle alone. That means nearly half of internet users could be missing out on broadband innovations like fiber internet, which has the bandwidth and speed to power dozens of connected devices and transform households. And it shouldn’t be that way.

The freedom of being able to move around your home while still connected to the internet sure was nice, even with that baller 56k modem. You’ve moved on, though. DSL happened, then cable internet came onto the scene. Now you’re hearing about Gigabit fiber internet, and you can’t believe how fast it is—only, there’s something that could hold you back from REALLY experiencing the velocity of 1,000 Mbps.
