Frequently asked questions
What is a good download speed?
According to the FCC, download speeds of 100 Mbps qualify as high-speed broadband, with speeds above and below that considered basic and advanced, respectively.
Speeds up to 100 Mbps support essential internet needs, like browsing, checking email, and light streaming. Speeds above 100 Mbps are best for competitive gamers, constant streamers, and anyone else “chronically online”—especially if you share the house with others or multitask with several devices.

How does CenturyLink Fiber connect to the house?
Like all wired internet services, CenturyLink Fiber connects to the house via extended cables that stretch from the larger local network directly to your home. During installation, your CenturyLink technician will lay the fiber optics right up to your home’s exterior, set up a small device called an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), then drill a new hookup where you’ll plug in your WiFi gateway.
Is CenturyLink changing to fiber optic?
In many areas, yes, CenturyLink has replaced its legacy copper network with fiber-optic infrastructure for improved speeds, low lag, and overall reliability. The plan is to continue this effort throughout the country—check availability now to see if fiber has arrived in your area.
Is fiber optic better than WiFi?
Yes and no. Fiber optics send data faster than any other internet technology, including the wireless technology we now call WiFi. However, fiber and WiFi aren’t usually competing services. Usually, WiFi just refers to the personal wireless network your modem creates by converting signals from your provider’s core network.
When that core network is a fiber-optic one, you can expect the benefits of fiber to carry into your WiFi—including high speeds, low latency, and reliable signal fit for large households and heavy internet use.
