Fiber Service Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fiber?

Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology allows telecommunications services to be transported over fiber optic cables—the best technology available for Internet, television, and voice services. Other providers may have fiber in some parts of their network, but no other provider is bringing fiber to your home.

The average home has 17 connected devices (businesses have even more), all of which need sufficient bandwidth to connect to the Internet. Fiber has virtually unlimited capacity to bring telephone, Internet, digital television, and other services to your home or business with very high quality, speed, and reliability.

How Do I Get Fiber Service?

Fiber to the Home (FTTH) service is available to about 100% of the HomeTel service area. To see if HomeTel Fiber is available at your address, check out our service availability tool.
