Frequently Asked Questions about Fiber Optic Services
Why fiber? Speed - Fiber signals are sent at the speed of light, therefore we've only begun to scratch the surface on download/upload speeds. Fiber optic service is the future of communications and entertainment. Gaming - Fiber optic internet is much more efficient for online game. We are able to control the latency (if you're not a gamer, you've never heard this term) more effectively when on a fiber network. New (undeveloped) Applications - Could you ever have imagined paying all your bills online, buying music online, shopping online, downloading movies online, and video conferencing on a single DSL connection? A fiber optic internet will allow for a lot more innovation. As the old saying goes, 'If you build it, he will come'. We think the 'he' is the new generation of internet applications. Things will be faster, more detailed, and more interactive. Low power - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less, lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires. Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer networks and television ............................................................................................................................................................. Does fiber optic service have a hidden bandwidth cap? At the present time, RTC does not impose any hidden bandwidth caps, etc. However, the RTC usage policy stills stands. (Click here for Terms) As you may very well know, viruses, etc. that infect your machine can cause more damage "behind the scenes", which can in result use your net traffic for malicious content and acts. If you believe there's any type of security (virus, spyware, etc) intrusion on your computer(s), it's recommended your machine receive the proper care from a technician.
