Why symmetrical matters
Uploads that keep up
Most cable plans upload at a fraction of their download speed. Here is how long common uploads take on Brightspeed Fiber compared with a typical cable upload.
| upload | Typical cable | 200 Mbps | 500 Mbps | 940 Mbps | 2 Gig | 8 Gig |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 photos (500MB) | 1.9 min | 20 sec | 8 sec | 4 sec | 2 sec | 1 sec |
| 4K video clip (10GB) | 38 min | 6.7 min | 2.7 min | 1.4 min | 40 sec | 10 sec |
| Full laptop backup (250GB) | 15 hr 52 min | 2 hr 47 min | 1 hr 7 min | 35 min | 17 min | 4.2 min |
Estimates at full plan speed over a wired connection. Typical cable column assumes a 35 Mbps upload speed for comparison. Real-world Wi-Fi times are longer.
Cloud backups
Photo and file backups finish in minutes instead of running overnight.
Video calls
Your camera feed stays sharp even when others in the home are streaming.
Content creation
Upload 4K video to YouTube or send large files to clients without waiting.
Security cameras
Several cameras can stream to the cloud at once without slowing the home.
Wi-Fi 7
A router built for multi-gig
Wi-Fi 7 router included
Every fiber plan comes with a Wi-Fi 7 enabled router built to carry multi-gig speeds to your devices.
Wider channels
320 MHz channels on the 6 GHz band move more data at once to new phones, laptops and consoles.
Steadier gaming and calls
Multi-link operation spreads traffic across bands, which helps keep latency low during busy evenings.
Built for smart homes
Cameras, thermostats, speakers and EV chargers can share the network without crowding out streaming.

FAQs
Brightspeed Fiber questions
What fiber speeds does Brightspeed offer?
Plans include 200 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gig (940 Mbps), 2 Gig, 5 Gig and 8 Gig. The 5 Gig and 8 Gig tiers are limited to select areas.
Why is 1 Gig listed as 940 Mbps?
Some capacity on a gigabit connection is used by network overhead, so 940 Mbps is the realistic maximum you will measure on a wired gigabit device.
What router comes with Brightspeed Fiber?
Fiber plans include a Wi-Fi 7 enabled router. Real Wi-Fi speeds depend on your devices, distance and walls, so wired connections test fastest.
Do I need 5 Gig or 8 Gig?
Most homes do not. Those tiers are for households with many heavy users, large file uploads or multi-gig wired devices. 1 Gig or 2 Gig covers nearly every family.
How much faster is fiber upload than cable?
Cable plans often upload at 20 to 50 Mbps. Brightspeed Fiber uploads at the same speed as it downloads, so even Fiber 200 uploads several times faster than typical cable.
Is there an installation fee for fiber?
Installation charges may apply depending on your address and plan. We confirm any fee and any active install promotion before you order.
Can I keep my own router?
Many customers can connect their own router behind Brightspeed's equipment, but the included Wi-Fi 7 router is the simplest way to get full multi-gig speeds.
Will my fiber price go up?
Brightspeed pricing is subject to change. We note whether your price is promotional and what it is expected to be later so you can plan ahead.
Which fiber plans include a prepaid card?
Fiber 1 Gig often includes a $150 card, while Fiber 2 Gig, 5 Gig and 8 Gig can include $250 at qualifying addresses. Fiber 200 and 500 focus on a lower monthly price.
How do I know if fiber is at my address?
Fiber availability can vary from one street to the next. Call us with your address and we will check the exact plans offered at your home.
