Why Upgrade To Fiber Internet?
With school, work, and just about every facet of life now being online, fast and reliable internet has become a necessity rather than luxury. Fiber internet is the newest internet upgrade that is quickly infiltrating households across America. In this article we will discuss what fiber internet is and how it can benefit you.
What is Fiber Internet?
Fiber internet is a broadband connection that transmits information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared light through optical fibers. This transmission can reach speeds of up to 940 Megabits per second (Mbps), about 70% the speed of light. The speed at which these fibers transit information makes Fiber internet one of the fastest and most reliable internet options available on the market today.
Reliability
Fiber internet is known to be more reliable than DSL or cable internet because of its structure and the way it processes data. While cable internet uses copper wires that can be easily bent, broken, or damaged during severe weather such as thunderstorms, fiber internet uses fiber-optic cables made of glass that can withstand severe weather conditions and won’t lose signal during the next rain shower. This means no more buffering in the middle of your movie, no more lag once you reach the last level of your video game, and NO more “unstable connection” during your next Zoom meeting.

To give you an idea of how fast fiber internet is, here’s a comparison of how long it would take different internet connections to download a 6.5GB media file:
Bandwidth
Bandwidth allows for the whole family to operate on the same internet system without interruption. If your internet has low bandwidth, the speed and reliability of your service will decrease as more people connect to it. However, fiber internet employs a higher bandwidth. This means the whole family can stream, game, work, upload files, download files, and back up data with no congestion or data delays.
Let’s say you live alone. Do you have a smart TV? Iphone? Smart speakers? Virtual assistants such as Alexa, Echo Dot, or Google Home? All of these things require a higher bandwidth in order to operate together efficiently.
Fiber Internet Options
How does fiber internet compare to other internet plans? Your Tampa internet provider can supply you with all the information you need regarding the switch to fiber internet. However, the cost of installation isn’t any different than most high-speed internet installations. If your household has a high device count and need for steady, reliable internet service- fiber internet can supply you with the priceless peace of mind only a fast and efficient internet connection can give.
