What Is Fiber Internet?

Fiber internet uses thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data as pulses of light — the same technology that powers the backbone of the internet. Unlike cable or DSL, which use copper wiring originally designed for TV or phone service, fiber was built from the ground up for high-speed data.

The result is the fastest, most reliable, and most future-proof internet connection available for homes today. Fiber plans now start around $50/mo and can reach speeds up to 5 Gbps — far more than any household needs, but that headroom means you'll never feel your connection slow down.
