Connection types

Fiber vs Cable vs 5G vs DSL

Each connection type has its sweet spot. Here’s how they stack up at a glance.

Fiber

Fastest
Speed range
300 Mbps – 5 Gbps
Best for
Multi-person households, 4K streaming, gaming, work-from-home
  • Symmetrical upload + download
  • Lowest latency
  • Most consistent speeds
  • Future-proof for 10+ years
  • Limited availability outside metro areas
  • Highest price tier
What this means for you

Choose fiber if it reaches your address and you want the best long-term performance — it handles everything and won't feel slow in a few years.

Cable

Most Available
Speed range
100 Mbps – 1.2 Gbps
Best for
Mainstream households, streaming HD, video calls
  • Wide nationwide availability
  • Strong download speeds
  • Often bundled with TV
  • Slower upload than fiber
  • Speeds can dip during peak hours
What this means for you

Cable is the practical pick for most homes — widely available and fast enough for streaming, browsing and video calls without overpaying.

5G Wireless

Easiest Setup
Speed range
Up to 1 Gbps (typical 100–250 Mbps)
Best for
Renters, second homes, anyone tired of installer windows
  • Self-install in 15 minutes
  • No contracts
  • Flat predictable price
  • Speeds depend on tower distance
  • Variable performance
What this means for you

Great if you rent, move often, or just want to plug in a box and skip the installer — as long as there's solid signal at your address.

DSL / High-Speed

Rural Coverage
Speed range
10 – 100 Mbps
Best for
Rural addresses, light internet use, browsing + email
  • Available almost everywhere
  • Affordable entry-level pricing
  • Slower than fiber/cable
  • Distance from hub affects speed
What this means for you

Often the only wired option in rural areas. Fine for browsing, email and one or two HD streams — call to check what speed your line supports.

The right way to shop internet

What you'll actually get on a call.

How we shop

We check live availability for your exact address.

Online coverage maps lie all the time. The provider that sells fiber on one side of the street may only have DSL on the other. We pull live serviceability for the address you give us — not a guess based on the neighborhood.

  • Live address-level checks across providers
  • Confirm fiber, cable, 5G, DSL availability
  • Know what you can actually order before you commit
What we explain

Speed you actually need vs speed you're paying for.

Most households over-buy. If you stream HD with two people, 100 Mbps is plenty. We'll tell you what tier matches your usage — and where the next jump is genuinely worth the upgrade.

  • Speed sized to actual household usage
  • Upload requirements for video calls and gaming
  • When fiber is worth it vs when cable is enough
FAQ

Internet questions, answered.

Availability depends entirely on your service address — even neighbors on the same street can have different options. Call us with your address and we'll check what's actually serviceable for you in real time, including fiber, cable, 5G and DSL.
