Q: What is Fiber Technology?

A: Fiber technology refers to the use of fiber optic cables to carry digital information directly to homes and businesses. These cables are made up of hundreds or thousands of fibers, which are long thin strands of pure glass about the diameter of a human hair.

Fiber technology replaces the copper and coaxial cables telephone and cable companies previously installed in neighborhoods.

Fiber is faster; it provides the fastest Internet connection speeds due to its higher bandwidth capacity. Plus it is superior in reliability and quality. Fiber offers the most reliable Internet service - no dropped connections or losing speed at peak hours like cable. It also offers the clearest phone calls - no dropped calls or static to disrupt conversations like other phone services.

FiberNet, our newest phone and high speed Internet service, uses this advanced fiber technology.

Q: Why is Granite State Communications investing in FiberNet?

A: We're excited to bring you this next generation of communications technology. It is all part of our commitment to provide exceptional service. FiberNet offers many advantages to residential customers and businesses alike, and prepares everyone to enjoy an even greater selection of communications options in the future.

Q: What are the benefits of FiberNet?

A:

More Bandwidth Fiber offers virtually unlimited bandwidth for ultra-fast Internet connections. Stream entire movies on your desktop, play interactive games, download or upload large photos in seconds - without the lag of cable Internet service.

Greater Reliability Fiber optic cables are even less susceptible to glitches than traditional copper wires and can even better withstand the shock and vibration from inclement weather.

Future Flexibility Fiber technology is considered "future proof" and offers the flexibility to deliver additional services such as video or TV and more in the years to come.

A: We began the process of installing fiber optic cable to homes and businesses in select new developments in Weare, Chester, and Sandown in 2007. Service activation is occurring in phases as homes and businesses are constructed.

We are now working aggressively on a broad rollout to the rest of our service area. Network construction will happen in phases with a goal to have all customers using the fiber network over the next several years.
