Fiber Speed Internet
100 Mb Internet Service
Although 100 Mb Internet service is common in Korea and Japan, it’s still rare in the U.S. In Fairfield, LISCO intends to change that.
100 Megabits per second, both upload and download, will be our standard service.
By comparison, a typical residential cable modem service will download at a rate of 3 to 5 Mbps, and upload at speeds much slower than that.
Gigabit bandwidth
And LISCO’s fiber technology can deliver even more, up to a Gigabit (1000 Mb) of bandwidth to every home and business.
Today’s new computers and network routers come with Gigabit ethernet ports. Now local businesses will be able to connect together at these advanced speeds.
Having this capacity will make Fairfield truly ready to compete in the new global economy. Just add entrepreneurship.
Unlimited Choices
Recently we see an unprecedented growth in delivery of television, films, and other video products over the Internet. It seems every week we hear of new TV programs and films being offered for download over the Internet. These are typically very large files and only an infrastructure like LISCO Fiber-to-the-Home can provide the bandwidth needed to take full advantage of these new choices. The future of video is not just a hundred or so TV channels. The future of fiber will allow almost unlimited choice.
LISCO FTTH is Fast Both Ways
LISCO Fiber-to-the-Home Internet service offers its amazing speed both ways—both when sending and receiving data. DSL and cable modem systems typically give you their fastest speed only one way. That’s because they are a kludge, a forced fix of an older, pre-Internet infrastructure. Copper phone line technology dates back to 1876. Coax cable systems date back to 1948 and were originally designed to carry information one way only. Copper and cable Internet solutions attempt to push information through systems that were not designed for the job. FTTH has no such limitation.
Real World Internet Speeds
One-Hundred Megabits-per-second Interent speed refers to those portions of the Internet under LISCO’s control. Other factors, not under LISCO’s control, such as your computer, the network equipment in your house, the overhead of optical fiber transport, and the speed of the Internet itself will all affect your real-world speed. However, the limiting factor will not be your LISCO service.
