In short, fiber internet is fast — very fast. At Ziply Fiber, our fiber internet plans start at 50 Mbps download and upload speeds. Many customers also opt for our 2 gig & 5 gig plans, which offer symmetrical upload and download speeds.

Any speed over 1 Gig is likely significantly faster than what your cable or DSL internet provider can offer. Check out this comparison table, which shows how fiber internet makes a significant difference when browsing the web, streaming TV, and more.

Speeds will vary based on the content quality and number of streaming devices in use on your home network.

For quality, smooth video, here are the FCC’s minimum suggested speeds depending on the type of activity and number of devices (computers, phones, TVs) being used at the same time:

1 person using 1 device

  • Video streaming, video chats, online gaming: min 3 - 8 Mbps
  • HD movies and shows, multiparty video chats, online gaming: min 12-25 Mbps
  • HD gaming, 4K videos, multiple high-demand apps: min 25+ Mbps

2 devices in use at the same time

  • Basic videos and internet radio: min 3 - 8 Mbps
  • HD movies and shows, multiparty video chats, online gaming: min 12-25 Mbps
  • HD gaming, 4K videos, multiple high-demand apps: min 25+ Mbps

3 devices in use at the same time

  • Basic videos, internet radio, HD streaming, multiparty video chat, online gaming: min 12-25 Mbps

Yes! 

Yes. Several streaming providers offer live TV, and a few also include local TV stations. Some popular options are Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV Stream.

Streaming depends less on the age of your TV and has more to do with the types of connections the television has. If your TV has an available HDMI port, most streaming devices will work with it.

Many providers, like Netflix and Hulu, require a paid subscription for unlimited access to newer movies and tv shows.

Some ad-supported providers like Tubi TV and IMDB allow free on-demand streaming of movies and shows that include advertising.

There are also apps that provide on-demand movie rentals. Rather than a monthly subscription, you rent à la carte.

The best part about streaming is that you can pick and choose from all these streaming options to get exactly what you want, when you want it, without paying for bundled services you don’t want.
