Satellite internet may come from the sky, but your internet connection doesn’t need to travel to space to get you online. With fiber internet, your connection stays right here on the ground, using a direct fiber-optic network to deliver fast, reliable service to your home.

While satellite internet can be a helpful option in hard-to-reach areas, it comes with some limitations. Data traveling between your home and a satellite thousands of miles above Earth can create higher latency, which may affect activities like video calls, online gaming, streaming, and other applications that need a quick response.

Fiber takes a different approach. Fiber-optic cables transmit data using light, providing fast speeds, low latency, and a reliable connection. And because the connection comes directly through a physical fiber network, you’re not relying on a satellite orbiting above you.
