Business use case evaluation
Remote work has transformed the way households think about internet service. If your job depends on a reliable connection, fiber isn't a luxury — it's a business tool.
Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet are bandwidth-intensive. A single 1080p video call needs 3–5 Mbps up and down. When you're on calls for 4–6 hours per day, any network instability causes dropped frames, audio cutting out, and connection failures. Fiber's consistency eliminates these issues.
Uploading presentations, sharing screen recordings, pushing code commits, transferring large files to cloud storage — all of these are upload-intensive. Cable's 15–30 Mbps upload means a 2 GB file takes 10–20 minutes. Fiber's 500 Mbps upload sends it in under 30 seconds.
Many remote workers connect to corporate VPNs that tunnel all traffic through company servers. This effectively halves your usable speed. Starting with 500 Mbps fiber means even with a VPN overhead, you're left with 250+ Mbps — still excellent. Starting with 100 Mbps cable and VPN overhead leaves you feeling constrained.
Modern remote workers often run a personal laptop, a work laptop, a tablet, and a phone simultaneously. Add family members also working from home or in school, and the bandwidth demand is substantial. Fiber handles this comfortably.
If your billable rate is $50–$100/hour, losing just 30 minutes per day to internet issues costs you $500–$1,000 per month in lost productivity. The difference in monthly cost between cable and fiber ($10–$30) is negligible compared to the productivity gain.
