Frequently asked questions
How fast is Gigabit internet?
Gig* internet is an internet connection up to 940 megabits per second (Mbps)*.
Can I get faster than 1 Gig speeds?
Yes, Astound Broadband delivers speeds up to 1200 Mbps, however, it is not available in all areas. 1200 Mbps is only available to new customers. Current customers can visit astound.com/1200/ to be contacted when 1200 Mbps speeds are available in your area.
How does Gigabit internet work?
Gigabit service can be transmitted over traditional cable wiring or fiber connection running to your house. Gigabit internet, which uses the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, can download data up to 1 Gbps, and upload data at 20 Mbps. Gigabit internet service transmits data up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) — or 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). If you or your family loves to stream movies and TV while playing bandwidth-hungry games and downloading the latest apps on your smartphone — all at the same time — Gigabit service could provide a major improvement in network speed and reliability.
Will I get 1 full Gigabit delivered to my home?
If you have Gigabit service (1,000Mbps),Gigabit is being delivered to your home. However, your modem has a Gigabit port and a small amount of bandwidth is used to connect you to the internet. Gigabit speeds are up to 940 Mbps because a small amount of bandwidth is used to make sure data is transmitted properly. This is expected and normal for residential gig service.
Do I need Gigabit internet?
Today the average household has multiple devices tied to one Internet connection in the home. These devices can be smart home TVs, laptops, smartphones, tablets, printers, home security systems, appliances or game consoles. Higher Internet speeds will offer you an online experience that fits your lifestyle and needs. For the same reason you’d want the latest gadgets – you want the best experience for you and your family.
Is Gigabit internet service available in my area?
We provide Gig internet service up to 1200 Mbps* in all of our serviceable areas. Check to see if services are available in your area.
When do I need Gig internet?
The internet speed you need depends on your home’s connectivity and the devices you use. Using your internet connection for things like Netflix streaming, gaming, or to support a myriad of the best smart home devices, faster internet connections with more data may be right for your home. Higher speeds provide better performance for homes with many connected devices, streaming, video conferencing, gaming and multiple smart devices.
What internet equipment is needed for fiber internet?
Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.1 modems allow for much higher speed than previous modems. DOCSIS 3.1 modems offer the best in speed and massive improvements in reliability.
Make sure you have a Gigabit WiFi router, which uses the protocol called 802.11ac (and can support speeds up 940 Mbps). We recommend using our best in class router for Gig internet (up to 940 Mbps*) which is capable of supporting these high speeds. Our Whole Home WiFi, powered by eero delivers excellent WiFi coverage in your home (available for an additional monthly fee). However, if you’re in love with your current router, it will work, but we cannot guarantee Gig internet will work with your current router.
