Brightspeed Internet Speeds

Brightspeed offers DSL, fixed wireless, and fiber-optic internet, which all have different properties unique to their internet types. Brightspeed’s wireless internet offerings combine its fiber-optic network with wireless technology to transmit radio signals from signal towers to receivers adjacent to its location. While it’s not nearly as fast as wired internet connections, at just a minimum of 10 Mbps, it’s one of the cheapest internet types available.

Brightspeed Fiber Internet, on the other hand, travels through bundled fibers through a glass tube via light pulses. Because light travels faster than radio waves, fiber-optic connections provide internet speeds that are much faster than those offered by fixed wireless and DSL, albeit for a much higher price. Brightspeed Fiber Internet is capable of gigabit speeds, though it falls a little short with symmetrical speeds up to 940 Mbps.
