TDS provides a plethora of services including Internet, phone, and TV service to their residential and business customers. They mostly offer DSL, as well as cable and fiber.
DSL service is delivered through offices near customer addresses using copper phone lines.
Cable, on the other hand, is generally delivered via fiber until it reaches a “node” in local areas, at which point data is switched over to an existing TV cable coaxial network.
TDS fiber plans are delivered via 100% fiber optic cabling, usually Fiber to the Home, allowing download and upload speeds up to 1,000 Mbps under ideal circumstances. TDS Fiber is the fastest, followed by cable, with DSL being the slowest.
