Fiber internet built for your business needs.

Keeping operations online has never been more critical to a business’s success and customer satisfaction. Lumos’ scalable internet and managed solutions deliver fast connections, dedicated support, efficient VPN access and much more to support your workforce’s productivity and operations.

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, business-wide Wi-Fi and unlimited bandwidth for all your devices, all at the same time. See how your current internet speeds measure up to ultra-fast fiber.

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.

VS

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 businesses down the street start massive file transfers.
