Ready for the Future

When setting up your home Internet, you need a connection that’s fast, reliable, and ready for anything—whether it’s for work meetings, streaming, gaming, or managing smart devices. Do you prioritize fiber’s speed and reliability or settle for the portability of cellular or satellite despite their limitations? The answer is clear: fiber delivers faster speeds, greater reliability, and better value for everyday home and business use.

Faster Speeds

ITC fiber delivers speeds up to 1 GIG per second, with the potential for even faster speeds as our network grows. Unlike many Internet options, such as cellular and satellite, which often prioritize download speeds while significantly limiting uploads, ITC fiber offers symmetrical speeds—your uploads are just as fast as your downloads. This is a significant advantage for gaming, video calls, and sharing large files. Plus, fiber delivers stable and reliable performance, unaffected by factors like signal strength, distance from towers, weather, or physical obstructions such as trees or buildings, which can make cellular connections unpredictable.

Reliable

ITC fiber users rarely experience downtime, and when they do, it’s typically related to the Wi-Fi setup, not the fiber connection. These issues are not unique to fiber and are the same problems you encounter with any Internet service, including cellular or satellite. Common Wi-Fi issues across all platforms include interference from devices like microwaves or baby monitors or weak signals in areas far from the router, such as upstairs bedrooms or basements. Fortunately, these problems are often easy to resolve with simple adjustments, like repositioning your router, updating its firmware, or adding a Wi-Fi mesh extender. If you need help, our team is ready to troubleshoot, and we’ll even replace your ITC leased equipment free of charge.

Low Latency

Fiber offers a distinct advantage for gamers and streamers with ultra-low latency, typically under 10 milliseconds. In contrast, cellular connections often experience a latency between 20 and 50 milliseconds. Satellite connections can have a latency of 500-600 milliseconds, making some games virtually unplayable. That level of responsiveness can be the difference between winning and losing in an online match or enjoying smooth, uninterrupted video calls. To get the most out of your gaming experience, connecting your console directly to your router with an ethernet cable can further reduce lag and improve performance, especially in high-traffic environments. Fiber also excels at handling multiple devices simultaneously. Whether you’re managing smart home systems, streaming your favorite shows, or working remotely, fiber ensures everything runs smoothly without any slowdown. In contrast, 5G networks can become congested in busy areas and may be unavailable in rural areas, leading to frustrating drops in speed and performance.
