Are you tired of sluggish internet speeds and unreliable connections? Fibre internet may be the solution you've been searching for. With its rapid expansion across the country, fibre internet is becoming increasingly accessible.
Here are four reasons to consider making the switch.
Faster speeds
Fibre internet offers speeds up to 8Gbps, outpacing cable and 5G providers. AT&T Fibre, Frontier, and GFibre already provide multi-gig speeds in various cities. While cable companies are upgrading their networks, fibre remains the faster choice.
Symmetrical upload and download speeds
Unlike cable, fibre typically provides symmetrical speeds, ensuring seamless online gaming, streaming, and large downloads. A gigabit fibre plan can deliver around 940Mbps down and up.
No pricey modem rentals
Fibre simplifies equipment needs with an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and an off-the-shelf Wi-Fi router. Many providers offer the ONT free of charge, giving you the freedom to upgrade your router.

Additionally, fibre provides lower latency, reliability, and consistency, which has been increasing internet demands and enhancing online performance. Fibre also improves streaming quality, making it perfect for streamers and remote workers.
If you're tied to your cable provider for TV, consider alternatives. Streaming services like YouTube TV, Sling, and Fubo offer flexible, cost-effective options. You can access services on devices like smart TVs, tablets, phones, and game consoles without needing specific hardware.
