                  Symmetrical speed is when your download and upload speeds are the same. This is important for many online activities that require uploading such as live-streaming, video chat, or have cloud-based technology like wireless smart home security cameras. If you’ve ever tried to sit through a class or business meeting and been met with a glitchy, pixelated experience, or had to wait for a batch of files and pictures to be uploaded to social media, your upload speed was likely to blame.                Pay attention to the next cable internet advertisement you see, unlike fiber, you’ll notice that they usually advertise only the download speed, which is for receiving data, not sending. That number may look appealing, but it’s only half of the story. Their upload speed is likely a tiny fraction of their download (around 10%), which will impact your customer exper...

  Wintertime presents technical challenges to fiber installation, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still get fast, reliable internet so you can spend more time streaming, working from home, or catching up on social media all while getting away from traditional cable and satellite internet providers. Temporary drops, or “temp drops” for short are a solution  we can use while we wait for better weather condition. What is a temporary drop? During the year the ground may be frozen or too wet to bury a fiber line in the ground. During the winter months the soil is frozen, making it too hard to dig, and generally will take consistently moderate temperatures several weeks to thaw out, one or two “good” days just isn’t enough. The thawing of the ground presents its own challenges, as snow and ice melt or several days of rain contribute to an over saturation of water in the ground that limits our ability to bury a fiber line safely and effectively.
