No matter what their door-to-door salesmen tell you, their “fiber” turns out to be regular wireless internet. Wireless is simply not as good as fiber—never has been, never will be.
Don’t be fooled! Direct Communications is the ONLY Fiber Optic Network in Eagle Mountain. Choose real fiber service from Directcom—the fastest, most reliable connection in Eagle Mountain.

Fiber Versus Wireless Comparison

We should definitely make a special mention of latency or ping times here. Light over fiber travels at…well, the speed of light, and connects directly back to the national Fiber Internet backbone, with no medium changes between you and the cloud. This results in the fastest ping times of any service. Wireless networks have very slow ping times because the signal is bouncing back and forth over the air between neighbors, hub homes and wireless antennas all the way across the valley back to the main office, and only after multiple handoffs does it hit a fiber line. All that switching takes time, so if you are a gamer and server reaction times are important to you, wireless is not your best option.

Why will you have a better streaming video experience with Directcom than with any wireless ISP in Eagle Mountain?

1. We don’t put a cap on how much you are allowed to download or watch each month.
2. Our network is state-of-the-art fiber optic cable, specifically designed to stream high-definition video.
3. We offer unmatched speeds up to 1 Gig (1000 Mbps).
4. We are the only wired network in town. Wireless internet equipment simply wasn’t built to handle constant high-demand applications like high-definition video very well.
5. We don’t throttle your speeds if you stream too much.
6. Our speeds are consistent, and we typically provide the speed we advertise, not some “burstable” mythical speed that you can only get for a few seconds.
7. Unlike wireless providers, your bandwidth is not shared with your neighbors, so you can all stream video at the same time and not be affected by your neighbors’ usage.
8. Our fiber-optic cable connects you directly to the national fiber backbone, with no wireless links inbetween.
9. We are a Netflix SuperHD partner, and Netflix has co-located within our Network to bring you faster access, quicker browsing, and higher resolution video.
10. With us, you can watch multiple HD streams at the same time on different devices in your home without ever running out of bandwidth.
