Curious if fiber internet slows down with more users? Find out all about the power of fiber connectivity.
The superhero of the digital age, fiber internet, is known for its amazing speed and bandwidth capabilities. It doesn't send data through traditional copper cables but instead uses beams of light sent through super-thin glass fibers. This technology is more advanced than broadband connections like DSL or cable.
So does fiber internet really slow down with more users? The simple answer is no, it doesn't. Fiber internet has the capability to handle multiple users at the same time without any slowdowns.
Fiber is the ideal internet choice
Light-speed internet
Fiber internet is known for its lightning-fast speeds. Streaming, gaming and video conferencing at the same time? Rest assured that fiber internet has the bandwidth to support it all at once.
Symmetrical speeds
When you get upload speeds that are as fast as download speeds, you experience smooth video calls and fast file transfers. Ting’s fiber internet provides these symmetrical speeds, so you can get a seamless internet experience all day, every day
High bandwidth
Fiber internet comes with ample bandwidth, allowing it to handle 20+ devices at the same time. It’s like having an all-you-can-eat buffet of bandwidth. So whether you're watching 4K cat videos, playing online games or hanging out virtually with friends, fiber has your back.
It’s all in the numbers
Let's look at some stats to paint the picture. We surveyed 1,500 families across the United States to analyze their current usage of internet-connected devices at home. On average, families said they had eight internet-connected devices. After being presented with a detailed list of options, however, that number jumped to 13 after they added those they had missed. That means the average American family’s home has 68% more connected devices than they realize.
As we move into the future, the amount of bandwidth needed will only continue to increase as we add more and more internet-connected devices to our households. With Ting's fiber internet, you can comfortably meet these data requirements no matter how many devices are connected at the same time
