FAQs
-
Is fiber-optic internet better than satellite for TV service?
- That depends on where you live and what you want in a TV provider. While satellite can be a viable solution when another type of connection isn’t available, a fiber-optic network typically delivers TV service with higher bandwidth, faster speeds and better reliability than satellite. Also, fiber-optic internet is not subject to the line-of-sight issues that can sometimes occur with satellite service.

- You be the judge. Fios ranks higher in customer satisfaction versus other providers in major studies that have compared TV (and internet) service satisfaction. And it’s delivered over a 100% fiber-optic network with 99.9% reliability. That’s not something that satellite providers typically provide.
