Advantages of A Fiber Optic Connection

In addition to being the fastest internet available, there are many other advantages to switching to fiber within your home or business including but not limited to the following:

More Bandwidth

Fiber optics possess more bandwidth than regular copper wires. This means fiber is able to carry more information at greater speeds than your average internet provider.

Go the Distance

Fiber optic connections have the ability to travel greater distances without breaking--making fiber optics ideal for rural areas.

Increasing Value

With fast internet comes an increase in home and neighborhood value. 

Weather Proof

Fiber optic cables are also more weatherproof than traditional wires and are resistant to lightning, which means little to no down time for your fiber optic internet connection.

Adaptable

As technology continues to progress, fiber optic cables stay the same, making them future proof. These cables are also durable and do not corrode like copper ones.
