What’s so special about fiber internet?

We’re glad you asked.

Your cable provider can’t keep up.

Cable was designed for voice and TV, not internet. Lumos is internet built for the future, with faster upload and download speeds, whole-home coverage and unlimited bandwidth for all your devices, all at the same time.

Fiber

Lumos is always fast,
in every direction.

We deliver equally fast speeds whether you stream, video conference or back up to the cloud—with no data caps or throttling.

Signal quality never
changes.

Made of thin glass strands, fiber cables provide a clear path for your signal to travel any distance for faster internet.

Lumos works in all
weather.

Fiber internet uses light signals to send data, so inclement weather like rain and lightning won’t slow down your connection.

Fiber is designed for
today’s digital life.

Fiber’s glass tubing provides more bandwidth than copper wiring—connect as many users and devices as you need.

Cable

Cable goes just as
fast…sometimes.

Cable companies often cap your speed without warning. Get used to buffering and frozen screens.

Dated cable lines can’t go the distance.

Copper cables contain electrical resistance. Longer cables mean more resistance for your signal to pass through (degrading its quality.)

Bad weather slows cable’s signals.

Electronics and rain don’t mix. Poor weather can impact cable’s electrical signals, leading to lag. Try putting your cable lines in rice!

Cable was built for yesterday’s bandwidth.

Copper cables providing your internet also supply your neighbors. Things may slow down when Mrs. Cleaver starts streaming.

Your fiber questions, answered.

It depends on your market and provider, but often, fiber and cable are close in price, and in some cases, fiber internet plans may be less expensive than cable plans. When you switch to Lumos, you can do so for as little as $40 per month⁴without a contract. And instead of your cable provider’s throttled speeds, data caps and limited bandwidth, you’ll experience the always-fast, whole-home coverage of Lumos Fiber Internet—the last internet upgrade you’ll ever need.

Many of your neighbors have already made the switch to Lumos Fiber Internet—and we’re growing! See if Lumos Fiber Internet is available in your neighborhood.

We will first bring the leading fiber network down one side of your street to provide access to you and your neighbors. When you schedule installation for your Lumos service, we’ll extend the fiber-optic line from the network on the road to the side of your home. The process may require some digging in your yard to bury the line. Once complete, everything will be repaired and re-seeded, if needed. Installation in your home usually takes between one and three hours.

A few words from our customers:

“Fast internet! Holy smokes, it is fast.”

“Speed and reliability… no more waiting because of insufficient bandwidth”

“Exceptional communication and service, start to finish!”

“I love that if there is a problem, they address it and their customer service is exceptional.”

“Excellent, friendly staff and the product has been exceptional.”
