Support Fiber Internet What is the benefit of a multi-gig internet connection?

A multi-gigabit (multi-gig) internet connection runs at speeds of more than 1 Gbps. This means it can power large households with multiple simultaneously connected devices, as well as those with creators or gamers who need the high bandwidth for large file transfers. Our 2 and 5 Gig plans are built for the heaviest of internet users, whether they’re downloading a full HD movie in seconds or playing games online with responsive action.
