Understanding Your Internet Speed
Your internet speed can vary depending on what you're using to connect to the internet. Think of fiber optic internet like a superhighway. It uses light pulses to transmit data, offering incredibly fast and reliable speeds. In our higher packages, we advertise speeds "up to 2.5 gigabits per second" (Gbps). This is the maximum potential throughput delivered directly through the fiber optic cable.
For the most consistent and reliable speeds, we highly recommend using an ethernet cable. An ethernet cable creates a direct connection between your device and the router, bypassing the limitations of Wi-Fi altogether. This will ensure you get the closest performance to the advertised fiber optic speed.
Our routers are Wi-Fi 6 standard as they are faster and provide higher speeds and connection rather than older Wi-Fi standards. Wi-Fi 6 is a fantastic wireless standard, but it acts like an on-ramp to the fiber optic highway. While Wi-Fi 6 boasts impressive speeds, it can't quite match the raw power of the fiber itself. Here's what to expect:
Your Wi-Fi speed can be affected by:
Here's a general idea of the speeds you might get with different types of Wi-Fi:
For the best experience with our plans, we recommend a combination of Wi-Fi 6 or higher standard for everyday wireless use and ethernet for devices that require the absolute fastest and most stable connection.
