Find Your Perfect Fit: Choosing a Fiber Internet Plan That Feels Like Home

The tangled web of Internet service options can feel daunting. You want fast, reliable Internet. But understanding all the lingo … that’s a different story. Don’t worry – we’re here to help! 

What is Fiber Internet and Why Does It Matter?

First things first: let’s talk about what fiber Internet really is. Unlike the Internet services of yesteryear, which relied on traditional copper lines (think old school telephone or cable lines), fiber-optic Internet uses tiny strands of glass to transmit information at the speed of light. Yes, you read that right. The. Speed. Of. Light.

What does this mean for you? Faster speeds, greater reliability, and smoother streaming, gaming, and video chatting. And when we say smoother, we mean “no more buffering symbols during your favorite movie or crucial work call” kind of smooth. It’s the future of Internet, and we’re thrilled to bring it straight to your home.

The Role of Internet in Our Lives

In today’s world, the Internet is more than just a tool; it’s an integral part of our lives. It supports us in nearly everything we do. That’s why choosing the right Internet plan matters more than ever. We’re here to help you make an informed decision that suits your needs and lifestyle, ensuring that your online experience is as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

Understanding Speeds and Plans

GoNetspeed offers various plans, starting from 300 Mbps for moderate users up to 1,000 Mbps for heavy users. Don’t get lost in the numbers, though! The key is to consider your specific needs. A small family with basic Internet usage might be perfectly content with our 300 Mbps plan, whereas a bustling household with multiple devices streaming, gaming, and working from home might need the oomph of our 1,000 Mbps plan. Here’s a quick check-in:

• For moderate Internet users, our plan offering speeds up to 300 Mbps may be just the ticket. It can support several devices streaming, browsing, and posting without breaking a sweat.
• If your household is a bit more tech-heavy, our advanced Internet plan with speeds up to 500 Mbps could be the perfect fit. You’ll have ample bandwidth to support the constant online presence of busy, connected households.
• For those households where Internet use is like a sport, where everyone is connected, streaming, gaming, and video chatting all at once, our heavy-use plan, which provides speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, is the unbeatable champion. Best value, unlimited devices.

Considering Reliability and Customer Service

Reliability and customer service are also critical factors to consider. No one likes being left in the dark when an issue arises. With GoNetspeed, you’re not just another number; you’re part of our community. We pride ourselves on providing super-smart, super-friendly customer service. Got a question or facing an issue?

By opting for a fiber Internet connection, you’re future-proofing your home. Whether you’re telecommuting, using healthcare services, or supporting your child’s online education, you can be confident your fiber Internet service will stand up to the challenge.

Fixed Wireless Access: Why it’s Winning Against Traditional Cable

Greetings, lovers of swift Internet access! As the world evolves, so do our choices for staying connected. Remember when cable was the cutting-edge way to experience the Internet? Those were the days! But as technology advances, new players are entering the field. If you’re pondering an upgrade to your Internet setup, let’s navigate this journey together as we compare Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) to traditional cable. 

First off, what exactly is FWA? Think of it as an upgraded, more sophisticated cousin to your standard cable connection. Instead of physically tethered copper wires, FWA uses wireless technologies to deliver data from the main access point to your home or business. Sounds a bit like science fiction, right? But rest assured, this is very much science fact, and it’s transforming the way we connect online. Let’s dive into the top 5 reasons why FWA leaves cable in the dust.

1. Speed
   In our digital age, having a rapid and reliable Internet connection is not a luxury but a necessity. Enter FWA. FWA operates with impressive speed that significantly outpaces traditional cable, resulting in a fast, seamless online experience. This speed advantage becomes particularly noticeable when streaming high-definition content, video conferencing, or engaging in real-time gaming. Remember the frustration of watching that buffer symbol slowly rotating or dealing with glitchy video calls? With FWA, these could be a thing of the past. The speed of FWA can make your digital interactions smoother and more enjoyable, improving everything from your work productivity to your downtime Netflix binge.
2. Flexibility
   The Internet has become an integral part of our lives and setting it up should be as hassle-free as possible. FWA really shows its strength in its flexibility. Unlike cable, it doesn’t require disruptive groundwork or cables to be strewn across your property. The installation process is straightforward, usually involving the setup of a simple receiver. In many cases, this means you can have fully operational service within a single day.
3. Scalability
   Scalability in an Internet connection may not be something you’ve considered, but it’s critical to maintaining a steady and robust connection. With cable, as the number of users increases the available bandwidth often decreases, leading to slower speeds during peak times. However, FWA operates differently. It allocates a dedicated bandwidth to each user, ensuring your connection’s performance remains unaffected, even if everyone in your neighborhood decides to stream the latest popular series simultaneously. This scalability is particularly beneficial for families with multiple members using the Internet at the same time.
4. Coverage
   Internet access has become essential, and it’s crucial that everyone, everywhere, has reliable connectivity. Traditional cable can be restrictive, struggling to reach certain remote or difficult-to-access areas. Here’s where FWA steps up to the plate. It excels in delivering connectivity to locations that cable has traditionally found challenging to serve. Those frustration “dead zones” in your home or community? FWA can potentially breathe life into these Internet-starved areas, providing the same robust connectivity you expect in city centers.
5. Reliability
   In the realm of connectivity, consistency is king. And when your Internet connection is as unpredictable as a weather forecast, it’s not just annoying – it can hinder your digital activities. Not dependent on a physical network of cables, FWA is generally less susceptible to local cable failures or network congestion. Whether you’re closing a critical business deal, submitting an online exam, or chatting with a loved one, FWA offers the peace of mind that your connection will stay steady and secure.

This isn’t just a typical face-off between FWA and cable. This is about recognizing a shift in the technological landscape and making a decision that prepares you for the demands of the modern digital world. It’s about choosing a service that’s not just fast, but one that can keep up with your pace. It’s about valuing flexibility and ensuring reliability – because nothing puts a damper on your day like a sudden Internet outage just when you need it the most. And most importantly, it’s about future-proofing, because technology waits for no one.

But our conversation doesn’t end here. Got questions? Have some thoughts to share? Or are you just looking for more details? Don’t be a stranger — we welcome your curiosity.

The Bandwidth Boost Your Vacation Needs

Whether you’re setting out on a cross-country road trip or jetting off to a tropical paradise, one thing is certain — keeping the kids entertained is crucial. However, relying solely on in-flight or in-car entertainment or hoping for steady Internet in remote locations can be risky.

With high-speed fiber Internet, you can pre-download episodes of their favorite shows, movies, games, and e-books. Imagine the little ones engaged in the adventures of “Paw Patrol” on their tablets, teenagers glued to their “Stranger Things” marathon on a laptop, or you finally catching up with that book you downloaded on your reading app. It’s all possible in the car, at 30,000 feet, or while relaxing on a beach.

No more dealing with choppy video or the dreaded buffering symbol circling — just uninterrupted, high-quality entertainment. And remember, a busy kid on a long journey is a godsend for parents and fellow travelers alike!

• Pro Tip: Start downloading a couple of days before your journey. This will allow enough time to fill everyone’s content library, and you won’t be delayed by any last-minute technical glitches. (Don’t forget to make sure your devices are fully charged while you’re at it!)

Home Security While You’re Away

Leaving our homes unattended can be a source of stress, especially when we’re trying to relax on vacation. After all, who hasn’t felt that nagging worry about whether we locked the front door or whether the driveway security light is functioning correctly?

This means you can check your security camera feed in real-time, straight from your smartphone, even if you’re lounging by the pool in another country. You can receive immediate alerts if your alarm system detects any unusual activity. Or perhaps you’re returning from a trip and want to arrive at a comfortably cool home. Simply adjust your digital thermostat remotely and walk into an air-conditioned welcome after a tiring journey.

This continuous connectivity and control over your home devices offer the peace of mind you need to truly relax and enjoy your vacation.

• Travel Tip: To avoid any surprises while you’re away, test your devices a few days before leaving. That way, you’ll be certain they’re functioning perfectly and can take are of any issues while you’re still at home.

Stay Connected Under the Sun: A Guide to Outdoor Mesh Extenders

Hey there, GoNetspeed family! We know how much you love your high-speed fiber Internet, and we’re here to help you take that connection to new heights – or rather, new spaces. Introducing outdoor mesh extenders: the perfect solution to extend your Wi-Fi coverage outdoors while enjoying the sun or movie night by the pool.

What are Mesh Extenders?

Mesh extenders are Wi-Fi devices designed to amplify and extend your wireless network’s range, making them perfect for larger homes or properties with outdoor spaces. They work by communicating with your existing router and rebroadcasting the Wi-Fi signal through multiple nodes, creating a mesh network that ensures your devices stay connected, whether you’re inside your home or out in the backyard. The result is more reliable and robust Wi-Fi coverage, reducing the risk of dead zones and signal drops that can interrupt your online activities. Additionally, mesh extenders can intelligently route traffic, providing faster and more stable connections for all your devices.

How do Mesh Extenders work?

A mesh network consists of multiple extenders that work together to create a seamless web of Wi-Fi coverage, providing a more efficient and effective way to distribute your Internet connection. By strategically placing these devices around your home, you’ll eliminate dead zones and improve overall signal strength, even in hard-to-reach areas like your garage or basement. The best part? The mesh system is self-configuring and self-healing, meaning it automatically adjusts and optimizes the signal path to ensure the best possible connection.

Take Your Streaming Services Outdoors

With GoNetspeed’s outdoor mesh extenders, you can enjoy your favorite streaming services anywhere on your property, which means endless possibilities for outdoor entertainment. Set up your laptop or tablet in the backyard and catch up on emails, watch YouTube videos, or stream your favorite shows while soaking in some vitamin D. Or keep the kids entertained with their favorite movies and online games while you fire up the grill for a family barbecue.

Imagine hosting movie nights by the pool – a big screen, comfy seats, and the convenience of streaming your favorite films without buffering or connection issues, all under a starlit sky. With mesh extenders, you’ll have the flexibility to create an outdoor entertainment space that rivals any indoor setup. And it doesn’t stop there – take advantage of your expanded Wi-Fi coverage to set up an outdoor office, perfect for working remotely in the fresh air, or create a dedicated gaming area for weekend tournaments with friends.

By extending your Wi-Fi coverage outdoors, you’re not just enhancing your entertainment options, but also creating new opportunities for work, relaxation, and socializing – all without compromising on connectivity or speed.

Perfect for Families Sharing Bandwidth

Post-COVID, we understand that many families are sharing bandwidth more than ever before, creating unique challenges when it comes to staying connected. Between remote work, virtual learning, online gaming, video calls, and streaming content, your home network is constantly put to the test. Mesh extenders help ensure everyone has a reliable connection, regardless of where they are in your home – or yard – by distributing the network load more evenly and efficiently.

With multiple devices connected simultaneously, traditional Wi-Fi networks may struggle to provide consistent speeds and stability. GoNetspeed’s mesh extenders are specifically designed to work seamlessly with our high-speed fiber Internet service, providing you with the best possible experience. By intelligently managing your bandwidth and prioritizing traffic, our mesh extenders ensure smooth online activities for every member of your family.

And should you ever need to expand your network further or troubleshoot any issues, our friendly, helpful team is always here to help you get the most out of your GoNetspeed connection. We’re committed to empowering you with the tools and support needed to navigate the digital world with ease and confidence.

Outdoor mesh extenders offer a great opportunity to enhance your home network and make the most of your outdoor spaces. Our goal at GoNetspeed is to help you enjoy a seamless high-speed fiber Internet experience, whether you’re indoors or outdoors. Contact one of our friendly team members, who will be happy to answer your questions and guide you through the process. Let’s unlock the full potential of your GoNetspeed connection this summer and create a perfect outdoor entertainment oasis!

How GoNetspeed Brings Fiber Internet to Your Community

Want to know how we connect your neighborhood to better, faster Internet? Here’s a step-by-step guide to our permitting, construction, and installation process.

You may have heard that GoNetspeed is coming to your neighborhood. We hope you’re excited!

We may be a little biased, but who wouldn’t want to replace their clunky, expensive, and unreliable cable Internet with a state-of-the-art, lightning-fast fiber Internet connection? 

• Faster downloads 
• Seamless streaming 
• Lag-free gaming 
• Better customer service 

What’s not to love?

But you may also have questions – and we’re here to help. We’ve outlined the basics of network construction from route selection to installation. So when you see us in your neighborhood, you’ll know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it means for you.

One question we hear a lot from people goes something like this: “We saw your trucks on our street a few days ago, but now there’s no sign of you – are you still coming to our neighborhood?” 

The short answer: Yes! 

Now here’s the slightly longer one: Before we start, we need to dot our i’s and cross our t’s. That means surveying your neighborhood to understand what resources we need to get the job done.

That may involve:

• Planning an appropriate route to lay the fiber. You may see our engineers physically walking your neighborhood and examining telephone poles.
  
• Creating a plan that adheres to all laws and regulations. We work with community representatives to communicate our plans and get feedback.
  
• Applying for local permits: This can be a time-consuming process – in some areas, it can take several months to get permitting in place.
  
• Coordinating with existing utility companies. If we use local telephone poles, we will work with other local utility providers to ensure we’re all on the same page. 

CONSTRUCTION TIME: LIGHTING UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD*

First comes what we call “make-ready work.” This step is where we lay the groundwork for the construction of the fiber network, and you will see activity in your neighborhood. 

It may involve marking utility lines and landmarks with spray paint or trimming trees so our teams can stay safe and avoid any interruptions for utilities. Since our fiber is installed on power and telephone poles, we also work with local utilities to make space on existing poles or replace old ones. You may see us marking out for utility anchor locations, if your home is located along a route in which we plan to build that requires work in the public right of way, we will be placing a door knocker with information regarding the dig safe process on your front door.

A common question we hear during this phase is “Do you really have to trim the trees?” We only trim them if safety regulations and guidelines mandate it. Overgrown branches can threaten utility connections and create a safety hazard for our construction teams, so we ensure branches are trimmed according to local guidelines. 

You probably want to know how long all this will take. 

Well, that depends on a lot of factors outside our control such as permitting. Other factors like the amount of make-ready work and even the weather can slow the process, which makes it difficult to provide an exact timeline. 

Keep in mind, when we bring fiber internet to a neighborhood, our team may need to access poles that are between properties. This may require us to enter people’s backyards. When our team does, they will do their best to not disrupt anything and complete their work in a timely manner. This is part of the process to bring a new internet option to your community!

The good news is that once the make-ready work is completed, we start installing the fiber to individual utility cabinets in your neighborhood. Then, we “pre-light” the fiber so it’s ready to be split and brought to your house.

*Please note that the process may vary slightly from neighborhood to neighborhood. Our team follows all local, state, and federal utility construction requirements.

When you’re ready, connecting your home to our high-speed fiber network is a simple process. You may be surprised to learn that it only takes 1-2 hours to get your home connected.

By following these steps and working with a team of our expert technicians, you’ll be able to enjoy super-fast and reliable Internet speeds in no time. 

Here’s what you can expect during installation:

1. Set up the appointment. During the sign-up process, you’ll schedule an installation appointment. To get started, visit our website to check availability at your address.

2. Prepare your home. Before your scheduled installation appointment, please make sure to clear any clutter to provide easy access to the areas where the fiber optic cables will be installed. This will help make our job a breeze and help the process go more smoothly.

3. Meet the installation team. When the team arrives at your house, they’ll introduce themselves and get started running the fiber optic cables from the street to your house. You may even see our team doing some pre-work outside your home before your scheduled appointment just to make sure everything is ready.

4. We install the modem and router. Once the fiber optic cables have been run from the street to your house, the techs will install your FREE modem and router. The modem translates the data coming through the fiber optic cables into a form your devices can use, while the router distributes the internet connection to all your devices.

5. Test the connection. Once everything is installed, the team will test the connection to make sure it’s working properly. If there are any issues, they’ll work to troubleshoot and resolve them. 

6. Finishing touches. Once the installation is complete, the team will tidy up any loose cables or equipment and give you instructions on how to use your new fiber Internet connection. This might include info on how to connect devices, access the router’s settings, and troubleshoot potential issues.

5 Reasons High-Speed Fiber Beats Cable Internet…Hands Down

So you’re thinking about upgrading your Internet connection? Smart move! The Internet is amazing, and the faster it is, the better it gets. But with so many options out there, it can be tough to figure out what’s best for you. Don’t worry – we’re here to help. Read on to learn why fiber Internet is a better choice than traditional cable Internet.

What is fiber Internet, exactly? Well, it’s like cable, but way better. Instead of using copper wires to transmit data, fiber uses fiber-optic cables. These cables are made of really thin strands of glass or plastic that can send data super-fast over long distances. And because fiber doesn’t get messed up by other electronic devices, it’s way more reliable than cable. That means less time waiting for stuff to load and more time doing what you love online. But that’s just the beginning. Here are the top 5 ways that fiber outperforms cable:

1. Speed: Fiber Internet is fast. Really fast. Like, “blink and you’ll miss it” fast. With speeds up to 1 Gbps (gigabit per second) or higher, fiber can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Want to stream high-definition videos? No problem. Want to play online games with less lag and fewer interruptions? You got it. Want to download a bunch of files in a hurry? Easy-peasy. With fiber, the sky’s the limit.
2. Reliability: Fiber Internet is more reliable than cable. Period. Because fiber-optic cables aren’t subject to interference from other electronic devices, you’re less likely to experience dropped connections, slowdowns, or other annoying issues. That means you can do whatever you need to do online with confidence. After all, you’ll have a stable connection!
3. Scalability: Fiber Internet is more scalable than cable. What does that mean? It means that as more people sign up for fiber in your area, the available bandwidth is shared among all users without sacrificing performance. With cable, more users means less bandwidth for everyone, which can lead to slower speeds and a less reliable connection. So if you live in an area with high demand for Internet connectivity, fiber is absolutely the way to go.
4. Distance: Fiber Internet can transmit data over longer distances than cable. Why does that matter?  If you live in a rural or remote area, you may have limited options for Internet connectivity. But with fiber Internet, you can get fast and reliable Internet no matter where you live. 
5. Security: Finally, fiber Internet is more secure than cable. Because fiber-optic cables transmit data using light instead of electricity, it’s much harder for hackers to intercept or tamper with your data. That means greater peace of mind when you surf the web!

But wait, there’s more! Not only is fiber a better option than cable for the five reasons above, it’s also future-proof. Fiber-optic cables are capable of transmitting data at much higher speeds than the copper wires used in cable, and they also have a much greater bandwidth capacity, which means they can handle more data at once. As the demand for faster and more data-intensive applications continues to grow, fiber’s superior speed and capacity make it better equipped to meet the needs of the future compared to cable. With fiber Internet, you’ll be ready for whatever the future brings. And isn’t that a great feeling?

So there you have it: the case for fiber Internet. We hope we’ve shown you it’s the better choice for anyone who wants a fast, reliable, and future-proof Internet connection. If you have any questions or want to learn more, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re always here to help you get the most out of your Internet connection. Thanks for reading, and happy surfing!
