Have you heard the news? High-speed 1 gigabit fiber optic communication is coming to Plainfield!
Evansville, Indiana-based Metronet is in the midst of installing its high speed fiber lines in the village, and service should be available to residential and business customers starting later this summer. Plainfield is the first town in Illinois to receive the Metronet service, and it appears as if Oswego may be next in line. Plainfield IT consultants BKS Systems is proud to announce that we are now a Metronet Authorized Partner, and we are ready to begin 1 gigabit fiber optic business installs.
What is fiber optic service?
Fiber optic communication lines use hair-thin strands of glass to transmit beams of light over great distances. The beams transmit massive amounts of data directly to homes and businesses. By comparison, top-tier service provided by cable or telecommunications companies operates at 75 Mbps. Gigabit service operates at up to 1,000 Mbps.
Another major difference between Metronet service and its competitors will be that each customer has their own dedicated line of service. Typically, today's residential and commercial customers share lines with neighbors, which slows service during high-usage times. Traditional service is also limited in expansion efforts by bandwidth.
Fiber optic gigabit service is slowly being introduced into population centers by companies like Google and Comcast. Metronet is unique in that they are offering the service in less populated areas of Indiana and Illinois. So, not only will this high speed service be a win for residential customers who are tired of having little competition in the marketplace, but local small to medium-sized businesses also stand to benefit.
Fiber optic for business
For businesses that put a huge premium on fast and reliable internet and phone service, fiber optic service can be a game-changer in terms of productivity. Because service is provided through a secure dedicated line that is not shared, speeds remain fast during peak times, making downloading and uploading large files seamless at any time of day. Businesses could expect the same kind of consistency in service through fiber optic telephone service and high definition television service.
