What is fiber, and what’s so special about it?

Fiber optic systems are tiny strands of glass that carry data (the internet) using light waves, resulting in much faster speeds than traditional copper lines. Most internet providers use fiber in their systems, but use copper lines for the final connections to the home, resulting in slower speeds. East MS Connect will bring fiber all the way into your home, giving you access to download and upload speeds up to 1 gigabit.

Fiber is more reliable than other types of networks and less prone to interference and complications from lightning and other natural elements.
