Asymmetrical vs Symmetrical Internet

Seamless connections after school

"After school can get a little chaotic as  the kids come home, they jump on their devices, whether it's to do homework or to unwind. And on days I'm working from home, I haven't noticed any fall off in connection or Internet speed when they jump onto the network." 


- The Sullivans, a Fioptics Family

"Our kids use technology differently during the school months. They don't study in one spot of the home. They take their laptop or iPad and can do their schoolwork and function anywhere in the house. Having reliable, fast internet is crucial."

Fiber elevates everything

Fiber cables are capable of carrying exponentially more bandwidth than traditional metallic cables, which enables faster upload/download speeds. altafiber currently offers download and upload speeds up to 2 Gig.
