Internet Made Simple

Different technologies reach different addresses. Here's what each one means in plain language.

Fiber Internet
Fiber-optic lines carry data as light, which generally supports high download and upload speeds where the network is built.

Cable Internet
Delivered over the same coaxial network used for cable TV, and one of the most widely built residential technologies.

5G Home Internet
Uses a wireless carrier's 5G network with an indoor gateway, so setup is often simple where coverage supports it.
Explore Options
Fixed Wireless
A signal is sent from a nearby tower to equipment at your property — often considered where wired service is limited.

Satellite Internet
Service delivered from orbit, which can reach rural and remote addresses where other technologies are unavailable.

Internet Built Around How You Live

Streaming
Watching in HD or 4K on more than one screen at a time generally benefits from a higher download tier. Actual needs vary by service.
Gaming
Online play tends to favor a stable, low-latency connection over raw speed alone. Large game downloads benefit from more bandwidth.
Work From Home
Video meetings and cloud file sharing use upload capacity, which is why upload speed is worth comparing, not just download.
Families
Several people online at once share the same connection, so households with many devices often look at higher tiers.
Smart Homes
Cameras, doorbells, speakers and sensors stay connected around the clock, which puts a premium on reliable coverage.
Businesses
Point-of-sale, guest Wi-Fi and cloud tools depend on consistent service, and some businesses add backup connectivity.
