Fiber Specs

You don’t have to know how fiber works to understand how it works for you.

But you still want to know. So here are the techy details.

DSL

What was once new is old again. DSL technology has quickly been replaced. While older homes have charm – old internet technology does not.

Cable

While cable is faster than DSL, it shares a line with your TV service. So when you share use with others, you all lose.

Fiber

What’s faster than the speed of light? Nothing. That’s what you get with fiber.

Net neutrality
+

We do not have data caps
We do not block or filter content
We do not sell customer data
We support reasonable network practices that are neither anticompetitive nor prejudicial
Latency, jitter and packet loss
+

On a scale of 1 to 10, you want latency to be a zero. When you click on something, how long does it take for the page to load? At USI we strive to keep that number (latency) as low as possible.

 

When gaming you do not want a case of the jitters. High congestion can cause a gap between packets (a packet is how data is carried over the internet) arriving at their destination. USI Fiber has the bandwidth to avoid this.

 

Packet loss is when data fails to reach its final destination. Which is no fun. We work to keep this number as low as possible.
