You wake up prepared to make the most of the day — but is your internet up to everything you throw at it?

As our lives become increasingly digital, our need for fast, reliable internet access at all times has become vital to winning the day. Well, high achievers, we have the cure. It’s called fiber internet.

Here are the top five activities where fiber internet truly shines, and why it’s essential for an optimal online experience.

Ultra-high def 4K and 8K video streaming
High-resolution streaming requires significant bandwidth, especially with platforms like Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ offering 4K and emerging 8K content supported by YouTube and Vimeo. Fiber internet’s high speeds ensure there’s no buffering, even when streaming on multiple devices simultaneously. Additionally, its reliability during peak hours guarantees uninterrupted viewing, making it ideal for movie nights or binge-watching sessions.

Online gaming
Competitive online gaming demands low latency and fast upload and download speeds (known as symmetrical speeds) to ensure smooth gameplay. Fiber internet’s minimal latency provides real-time responsiveness, which is crucial for the multiplayer gaming experience. Moreover, large game downloads and updates are completed faster, reducing downtime and keeping you in the game.

Remote work and video conferencing
With remote work becoming the norm, video conferencing and collaborative tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet are essential. Fiber’s symmetrical upload and download speeds ensure high-quality video calls without lags or interruptions. Whether you’re sharing screens, uploading large files, or participating in virtual meetings, fiber provides the stability and speed you need to stay productive.

Cloud computing and backups
Many of us use cloud-based applications and storage every day. But uploading large files to platforms like Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Dropbox or AWS can be time-consuming without a fast connection (downloading, too). Fiber’s high-speed and reliable performance makes these tasks efficient, though, so accessing those cloud backups is seamless and quick.

Smart homes and IoT devices
As we add more smart gadgets to our homes, all these connected devices — from security cameras and thermostats to voice assistants and smart appliances — put more demand on our internet signal. Fiber’s capacity to handle multiple devices simultaneously ensures your smart home ecosystem runs smoothly, while its reliability prevents interruptions. That keeps your automated routines and real-time monitoring systems functioning as intended.

Fiber internet is a game changer for activities that demand high-speed, low-latency and consistent performance.
