By now, you are probably aware that fiber-optic internet is the faster, more reliable, future-proof internet technology. Even the lowest fiber internet speed tiers provide symmetrical upload and downloads, meaning faster and smoother connectivity.
But how much speed do you need? For most people, 1 Gig is more than enough speed and bandwidth for the connected needs of modern life. Remote work, school, streaming, gaming and entertainment can all be supported by one gigabit of speed.
You can get even higher speeds, though. Ziply Fiber offers 2 Gig and 5 Gig speeds -- and all the way up to 50 Gig for very serious internet users.
Do you need such high speeds?
In this blog, we'll talk about the benefits of 2 Gig internet, specifically for content creators and the types of people who need robust connectivity.
The creator's need for speed
Have you had the experience of being stuck trying to upload large files, waiting for hours or days for the upload to complete? This is something that a multi-gig fiber-optic internet plan can speed up to a matter of seconds. Watch 4k or 8k footage upload instantaneously, stream without buffering and enjoy constant livestreaming without connection-related disruptions. A big benefit of 2 Gig is that it gives you the capacity to work alongside others on the same connection without slowdown.
2 Gig fiber internet offers:
- Symmetrical uploads and downloads up to 2,000 Mbps (take note that wireless speeds will always be slower than wired).
- Congestion-free streaming and high-capacity online tasks -- minimal lag or buffering, even if others are working online at the same time and place as you.
- Instantaneous uploads, even of large videos and files.
- Smooth, glitch-free video calls, conferences or live-streams.
- Ultra-low ping for gaming and real-time collaboration.
- Ease of cloud syncing with less risk of losing files due to connection failure.
- Dedication home connections, so you're never sharing your bandwidth with anyone else.
- No throttling, no data caps -- use as much internet as you need!
Why 2 Gig fiber internet is the sweet spot for content creators
If you're a serious internet user, but not sure how much speed and bandwidth you need, starting with 2 Gig is a good way to gauge what you need.
One gig of fiber internet speed may be sufficient. But increasingly, one gig is the go-to for general users, like busy households with multiple devices, streaming services and remote work plans. Bumping up to 2 Gig provides all those benefits while adding even more speed for those tasks that go above and beyond the average user's needs.
You may be happier still with 5 Gig, which takes speeds to an even higher level. But starting with 2 Gig can give you a sense of your needs.
