Internet plan questions
Home internet questions, answered.
Compare connection types, equipment and household needs with clearer expectations.
How much internet speed does my household need?+
It depends on simultaneous use, not just the number of people. Streaming, cloud backups, video calls and gaming can overlap, so compare plans around your busiest normal period.
What is the difference between internet speed and Wi-Fi coverage?+
Internet speed is the service delivered to the home. Wi-Fi coverage is how well the router distributes that connection inside the home. A strong plan can still feel weak in rooms with poor Wi-Fi coverage.
Should I choose fiber whenever it is available?+
Fiber can be attractive for performance, especially uploads, but compare price, installation, reliability, equipment and current availability before deciding.
Can I use my own router?+
Some providers allow compatible customer-owned equipment while others require or recommend their gateway. Confirm compatibility, support and any fee changes before purchase.
