Fiber Technology

• Capacity and Speed: Bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidth! It's all about the bandwidth. Fiber has the ability to deliver the most bandwidth of any current technology. Data is transferred at the speed-of-light. Fiber is the only technology that will be able to support the growing demand for high definition, full duplex bandwidth.
• Reliability and Manageability: Fiber has the ability to extend the distances that can be reached, compared to copper or wireless technologies. Because you can cover greater distances with fiber networks, less networking equipment is required. This lessens the amount of equipment needed and also reduces the number of points of failure.

Fiber is an inert glass media and therefore not affected by outside electrical interference, moisture, changes in temperature or other external influences that affect traditional copper network facilities or radio frequency based technologies. What that means for you is a much more reliable network you can depend on, compared with the greater problems faced by DSL and cable systems.

• Security: Critical data and private information are transported around the world via the Internet on a daily basis. In this era of rampant identity theft, security of your connection is paramount. Fiber has a tremendous advantage over DSL or standard cable because it is very difficult to tap into and penetrate a fiber cable without being detected. In order to splice into a fiber cable, one has to physically break the fiber cable and literally melt a glass splice point into the existing fiber connection. This makes splicing without being detected very difficult. This high level of security is why the US military and the major US security agencies use fiber networks almost exclusively for their own communications.

With SecureNet's fiber optic Internet service, your Internet connection will have maximum security to protect your private data.

• DSL and Cable are Outmoded & Satellite Has Too Many Problems: DSL, cable systems using cable modems, and satellite systems deliver their bandwidth in an asymmetrical fashion where download speeds are different from the upload speeds. Asymmetrical or uneven data communication severely slows down your actual download speeds, and is not ideally suitable for advanced applications such as HDTV, gaming, video conferencing or video-on-demand applications.

In contrast, SecureNet's fiber connection is symmetrical, giving you an unmatched minimum 10 mbps, burstable to 100 mbps download and upload speeds, ensuring you an incredible Internet, VoIP, and high definition television experience.

Even though DSL promises you "1.5-6 mb per second" and Cable promises you "4-8 mbps" download speeds, you actually only get a functional average of 768k per second!

The reason for this huge discrepancy is that when you are downloading large files to your computer via DSL or cable, your Internet provider's server is constantly "asking" your computer to verify that the data download is proceeding correctly. The server has to wait for the verification via the upload from your computer before it continues downloading data. Because DSL and cable have such SLOW upload speeds (384k per second), your download speed slows down DRAMATICALLY!

The "fast" download speeds promised you by DSL and cable providers are actually functioning closer to 768kps due to the asymmetry of the bandwidth. And you are the one who sits and waits at your computer! With SecureNet's fiber, you won't be suffering any longer, and you'll be able to download HUGE files in the blink of an eye because we give you a minimum 10mbps, burstable to 100mbps, upload and download!

In addition, DSL is "distance sensitive" meaning that the farther away you live from your provider's central office, the slower your Internet connection speed. Cable is a "shared bandwidth" system, which means that your Internet speed is greatly reduced by the number of neighbors who are also online!

Satellite is easily affected by weather conditions, disrupting or knocking out your Internet or television connection due to wind, rain, snow, etc.

SecureNet's fiber connection gives you Warp Speed Internet, crystal clear VoIP phone service, and stunning HDTV unaffected by distance, neighbors or weather! Our fiber connection to your home is in a class by itself.
