If you’ve seen internet plans advertised in “gig” speeds and wondered what that actually means, here’s the simple answer — along with how it translates into real-world performance for your home.
Gigabit, Defined
A gigabit (Gbps) is a standard measurement of internet speed and capacity. One gigabit per second equals 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps) — a useful reference point when comparing internet plans, since most providers list speeds in Mbps.
GoNetspeed's 1 Gig Plan
GoNetspeed’s 1 gig plan is built to keep everyone in the home connected at once, whether you’re streaming movies, gaming online, or working from home. It delivers symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps for both uploads and downloads, along with no data caps to slow you down — so performance stays smooth and reliable no matter what you’re doing online.
GoNetspeed's 2 Gig Plan
For power users and future-focused households, GoNetspeed’s 2 gig plan delivers even more headroom. It’s designed to handle 4K streaming, online gaming, video calls, and large file transfers all happening at the same time, without interruption. Like the 1 gig plan, it offers symmetrical speeds — up to 2 Gbps for both uploads and downloads.
Which Gig Plan Is Right for You?
If your household streams, games, works from home, and connects multiple devices at once, a 1 gig plan is likely more than enough. If you regularly transfer large files, stream in 4K across several rooms, or want extra speed for whatever comes next, the 2 gig plan gives you more room to grow.
