Fast Internet for Your Home—No Data Caps, No Contracts

Fiber internet offers significantly faster speeds, greater reliability, and lower latency compared to cable internet. Unlike cable, which uses copper wiring that can slow down during peak hours, fiber-optic technology transmits data through light signals, ensuring consistent performance and symmetrical speeds (equal upload and download rates). This makes it ideal for activities like video conferencing, gaming, and streaming in high definition.

FTC offers a range of fiber internet speeds to fit different needs, including:

• 100 Mbps: Ideal for browsing and basic streaming.
• 200 Mbps: Suitable for households with multiple users and devices.
• 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps): Perfect for heavy usage, such as gaming, 4K streaming, and remote work.

Availability may vary based on your location. Contact us to check speeds in your area.

Fiber internet installation involves running fiber-optic cables directly to your home or business. A technician will install an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) inside your property, which converts fiber signals into internet service that can be connected to your router. The process typically takes a few hours, and minimal disruption is expected.

While fiber internet may have a slightly higher upfront cost compared to cable, it often provides better value in the long run due to faster speeds, higher reliability, and lower maintenance requirements. Many fiber providers offer competitive pricing with no hidden fees or data caps.

Yes, fiber internet is ideal for streaming 4K content without buffering or interruptions. With speeds starting at 100 Mbps and going up to 1 Gbps or more, you can enjoy ultra-high-definition content on multiple devices simultaneously.

No, unlike traditional cable or DSL internet, fiber-optic cables are not affected by weather conditions such as rain, snow, or electrical interference. The cables are made of glass and transmit data using light, making them more resistant to environmental factors.

To use fiber internet, you’ll need:

• An Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which is provided by the ISP during installation.
• A compatible Wi-Fi router to distribute the connection throughout your home.
• Optional equipment such as mesh systems for larger coverage areas.
