Here's why your cable internet is so slow.

Understanding the difference between modern fiber networks and outdated cable service.

While both fiber and cable provide broadband internet, the technology behind fiber allows for faster, more consistent performance with fewer slowdowns during peak usage hours.

Vero Fiber operates on a fiber-optic network that delivers data directly to each home, rather than relying on shared neighborhood bandwidth. This infrastructure allows Vero to provide stable speeds, symmetrical uploads and downloads, and reliable performance throughout the day. By contrast, cable internet relies on older copper networks that can become congested as more users come online at the same time.

Why is fiber internet from Vero considered better than cable?

Fiber internet uses light transmitted through fiber-optic lines, which allows data to travel faster and with less interference than cable networks. Because each connection receives dedicated bandwidth, fiber maintains consistent speeds even during evenings or peak usage periods, making it better suited for streaming, video calls, remote work, and households with multiple connected devices.

"My family are heavy tech users, so we require quality, reliable internet, and we know fiber is the way to get it."

Why does my cable internet slow down sometimes?

Cable internet networks share bandwidth among many homes in the same area. When multiple households are online at the same time, speeds can drop significantly. To compensate, customers are often encouraged to upgrade to higher-priced plans. Fiber networks avoid this congestion by providing dedicated connections that remain stable regardless of neighborhood usage.

Will switching from cable to fiber improve everyday internet use?

Switching from cable to fiber results in faster uploads, more reliable streaming, and fewer interruptions during video calls or online gaming. Fiber’s consistent performance reduces the need to upgrade plans simply to maintain acceptable speeds, improving both reliability and overall value.
