Why so fast? Because Gig Internet runs on a fiber-optic line, making it capable of much higher bandwidth than wireless carrier networks or those using traditional copper lines. Lucky households with Gig Internet experience dramatic benefits while enjoying online activities like these: • Streaming Video – All that bandwidth means lag-free streaming on Netflix (and other streaming services) even when family mem- bers are watching different shows on different devices simultaneously. But the real advantage with Gig Internet is that 4K streaming, which uses four to five times as much data as a 1080p stream, will be free from the frustrating load- ing and buffer times often experienced with standard Internet. • Online Gaming – Anybody who’s ever lost a match due to a laggy Internet connection will love the upgrade to Gig speeds. Since Gig Internet is symmetrical, meaning its upload and download speeds are the same, gamers don’t ever need to worry about slow ping rates and spotty connections. Faster upload speeds are also a benefit for activities such as stream- ing gameplay with services like Twitch. • Immersive Media – The super-fast upload and download speeds of Gig Internet make more immer- sive media, such as 360-degree video and virtual reality applications, more accessible. As higher data capacity goes mainstream in the years ahead, you can expect newmedia formats to take advantage of this opportunity, just as streaming video exploded when broadband became mainstream. Another major reason for busy households to choose Gig Internet is to provide an excellent online experience for many users and devices. For example, a family of six can each be doing their own thing —from watching 4K movies to streaming music to attending virtual classes or meetings—without an Internet hiccup.
