A Fiber Optic Internet connection is one of the most reliable internet choices available. This is because it consists of either underground cables or cables installed on a telephone pole. Once it is installed, you shouldn’t have any downtime (or at least very little) for your high-speed connection. Fiber Optic is similar in price to other connection types. Most providers offer monthly options and per-megabyte options. Monthly subscriptions are often less expensive but will potentially limit you from having fast speeds one hundred percent of the time. Another advantage of fiber is that it is more secure than DSL or cable since the cables are not exposed to the elements. Using Fiber Optic Internet with VoIP is a great way to support your Business Phone System.
Installation
If the networking cabling is already in place, installation is very easy. Your provider simply provides you with a Wi-Fi network for you to use. If you don’t have the cabling, however, you will need to get that installed before a technician can come. It simply depends on where your business is located.
How Does it Work?
Once your modem is installed and your cabling is all set, then your technician simply has to connect you with the service provider of your choice. Many businesses just go for a wireless connection through Wi-Fi, but you can also plug in directly. Oftentimes, wired connections are more reliable, even if Wi-Fi is more convenient.
How Fast is Fiber?
Fiber Optic Internet can provide up to 1,000 times faster internet than DSL. In today’s business world, this is often crucial. It provides a much smoother internet experience and often makes your employees more efficient and productive. The quicker your employees can work, the happier your customers will be.
