Fiber to the home (FTTH) is the delivery of a communications signal over optical fiber from the provider's switching equipment all the way to a home. Fiber to the home is a new and fast-growing method of providing more bandwidth to consumers, therefore providing the best video, internet, and voice services.
As cable modem and DSL providers are struggling to squeeze increments of higher bandwidth out of their technologies, ongoing improvements in fiber optic equipment are constantly increasing available bandwidth without having to change the fiber. That’s why fiber networks are said to be “future proof.”
Our FTTH internet service is competitively priced and the best value in our Carthage community. Pricing for fiber services can be found on our website!
We ask that all customers interested in Fiber optic internet fill out our interest form. After you fill out the interest form, you’ll be notified if your location is fiber-ready. If fiber is not available in your area yet, your address/neighborhood will be added to our fiber expansion list, and we will notify you when we’re ready to install in your area.
Cable & fiber are both reliable forms of internet, but fiber is better for delivering the fastest speeds, especially for upload bandwidth. It’s also less prone to high-traffic slowdowns and is more secure than cable.
Tapping into a fiber optic internet cable to intercept data transmissions is incredibly difficult in comparison to a copper cable that’s used for cable internet. Fiber optic internet is ultimately more reliable than cable internet for the main fact that it does not utilize copper cable, which can wear down over time and decrease effectiveness.
Fiber is the fastest, most reliable form of internet in today’s world, and we’re able to provide it right here in our Carthage community. CWEP Fiber is known for the local, reliable, friendly service that we’re able to provide to our friends and families, and having that local support and a friendly person to talk to helps ensure the best experience.
As with any utility, having the most capable and reliable infrastructure provides value to the community and its residents. Our fiber optic internet can help attract businesses that require large amounts of bandwidth for their operations. Residential users also benefit because customers are constantly needing and demanding higher amounts of bandwidth in their homes.
