The Premier Choice for Connectivity

The Unmatched Benefits of Fiber Internet

By Jacky Ham / Published July 2024

In the digital age, communities demand fast, reliable, and future-proof internet. While various options exist, fiber internet stands out as the superior choice, offering unparalleled benefits over 5G fixed wireless and coaxial cable. As a leading fiber company, we’re here to illuminate why fiber internet is the unequivocal solution for homeowners’ and condominium associations seeking to elevate their connectivity experience.

Unrivaled Speed and Bandwidth

     Fiber-optic technology delivers the fastest available internet speeds, reaching up to 10 gbps. Unlike coaxial cable and even the emerging 5G fixed wireless, fiber offers symmetrical upload and download speeds, ensuring seamless streaming, gaming, and video conferencing for every resident without compromise.

Consistent Performance

     Fiber internet’s capability to handle simultaneous high-demand applications stands unmatched. Where coaxial cable and 5G fixed wireless might falter under heavy usage, fiber maintains high performance, ensuring every resident’s connectivity needs are met, even during peak times.

Supreme Reliability

     Fiber-optic cables are impervious to the types of interference that can plague coaxial cable and wireless connections. With its resilience to weather conditions and electrical interference, fiber provides an incredibly reliable internet service, minimizing downtime and ensuring your community stays connected when it matters most.

Future-Proof Infrastructure

     Investing in fiber internet is an investment in the future. As digital demands continue escalating, fiber’s scalability means it can handle increased bandwidth needs without needing costly and disruptive infrastructure upgrades. This is a stark contrast to coaxial cable, which is limited by its aging infrastructure, and 5G fixed wireless, which may require additional equipment or upgrades as technology advances.

Low Latency for Real-Time Applications

     Fiber internet significantly reduces latency compared to both 5G fixed wireless and coaxial cable. This means smoother real-time interactions for applications such as online gaming, video conferencing, and telemedicine services—a crucial consideration for communities prioritizing modern communication and entertainment solutions.

Economical Long-Term Investment

     While the initial setup for fiber internet might appear higher than continuing with existing coaxial infrastructure or adopting 5G fixed wireless, the long-term benefits and cost savings are substantial. Fiber’s durability and minimal maintenance requirements reduce ongoing costs, while its ability to accommodate future technology ensures your community won’t need an overhaul as digital demands evolve. Most service providers will also install the entire network at their cost with a community agreement. As another added benefit, the value of homes with fiber internet available is, on average, three to five percent higher than homes without fiber broadband services available. 

Environmental and Aesthetic Advantages

     Fiber cables are much thinner and lighter than coaxial cables, requiring less raw material and energy to produce and install. Additionally, fiber infrastructure can often be integrated with existing utilities, minimizing the visual impact on your community compared to the more obtrusive equipment needed for 5G fixed wireless.

Making the Clear Choice

     As we navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape, the superiority of fiber internet against 5G fixed wireless and coaxial cable is evident. It’s not just about meeting the current needs of homeowners and condominium associations; it’s about anticipating the needs of tomorrow and ensuring that our communities remain vibrant, connected, and technologically ahead. Choosing fiber is choosing a future where every resident enjoys the best of the digital world without compromise.
