Benefits of Mid Century Fiber Internet

Why Mid Century Fiber Internet?

 

Fiber optic internet is the gold standard when it comes to broadband services.  Here are the top four reasons you should look into getting fiber internet in your home.

Bandwidth

Fiber provides more bandwidth to your home and has the ability to grow as your needs increase.  With fiber optic internet you can get speeds up to one gigabit per second in your home.  This means you can have multiple devices connected at the same time without bogging down your network.

Upload/Download

Fiber internet moves at the speed of light and it can provide synchronized speeds, meaning you get the same upload speed as your download.  If you have a 50 mbps download, then you will have a 50 mbps upload, whereas with a copper line if you had the same 50 mbps download speeds you would be lucky to get 15 mbps upload. With synchronous speeds you can send information as fast as you receive it. So, uploading pictures of your family trip will be faster, video calls with your grandkids won’t buffer, or parents at home won’t have to hear their children yelling that their games are lagging.

Distance

Fiber optic lines are made up of small strands of glass inside an insulated casing.  Fiber internet is transmitted through light and since light can travel at much longer distances without losing any signal strength it allows for much faster speeds at further distances.

Reliability

Since fiber optic internet is made of glass it is resistive to things like electromagnetic interference (EMI), temperature fluctuations, water damage, and others making It more reliable.  Meaning that you’ll have more time enjoying your devices and less time worrying about why the internet is slow.

 

Fiber is truly the holy grail of internet. Don’t just take our word for it, ask anyone on it and you’ll hear the same thing.  Fiber internet provides faster speeds at further distances allowing you to connect more devices to your home network than ever before.  With the growing popularity of streaming and smart homes, people are having anywhere from 15 to 50 devices connected in their homes and that number doesn’t seem to be slowing down.  Call the office at 309.778.8611 to see if Mid Century Fiber is available where you live and work.
