The Ups and Downs of Internet Speed

January 24, 2022

Don’t sacrifice speed when choosing a broadband package. Our fiber internet is symmetrical which means the upload and download speeds are the same!

Download Speed

Download speed describes how much capacity you’ll have to download things from the internet. The more download speed you have, the more things you can do like stream on Netflix, log onto a webinar for work, watch your teacher in a virtual class, and download music and movies.

Upload Speed

Upload speed describes how much capacity you’ll have to upload things from the internet. The more upload speed you have, the more you can do things like go live on social media, use telehealth services, facetime with family, or have your camera on for a Zoom meeting.

How much speed do I need?

If you’re only running a small number of devices on your connection, our lowest speed tier might fit your needs. But if your household enjoys streaming television, browsing on their phones, working from home, and more—all at the same time—you’ll need more speed to keep every device running smoothly.
