Why Choose GTel Fiber?

Fiber direct to your home

Unlike other companies who only use fiber to your neighborhood, we install a fiber optic connection directly to your home to provide the fastest, most reliable connection possible.

Fastest speeds available

Fiber optic technology can provide speeds in excess of 1 gigabit, that’s 1000 megabits per second (mbps). As Internet usage increases, higher speeds are necessary to avoid slowdowns and buffering. In addition, all GTel Fiber packages have fully symmetrical speeds, meaning your upload is just as fast as your download.

Future-proof connectivity

Fiber optics are the fastest medium available to connect to the Internet because they use light to transmit data. Fiber will be able to grow and adapt to Internet usage for years to come. As needs increase, we’ll be right here, advancing and improving our networks to keep you connected.

You get the speeds you pay for and the small town service you expect

GTel always provides you with the service you are paying for and will match you with the right speed to fit your needs. And it’s all backed by our local staff right here in Germantown and our 24/7 technical support

 F.A.Q.

What is GTel Fiber?

Fiber-to-the-home is the delivery of information, communication, and entertainment services over optical fiber directly into the homes and businesses that fall within a specific coverage area. The fiber will replace all copper twisted pair (traditional telephone wires) and coaxial cables. The same services you enjoy today will be provided via a single fiber with higher bandwidth for increased data flow.

Is Fiber more reliable than DSL?

Fiber cables, unlike copper cables, are not as easily affected by bad weather conditions. This means no more static on your phone lines or snowy pictures on your TV during rain storms.

Is bandwidth limited on Fiber like it is on DSL?

No, unlike DSL where distance from our equipment to your home can affect the maximum bandwidth you can get, Fiber uses light to transmit data over much greater distances through glass cables. This technology allows us to provide all of our Fiber speed packages to all Fiber customers

What are symmetrical speeds and how do they benefit me?

Symmetrical speed refers to the download and upload speeds of your Internet connection. In the past, Internet packages were largely sold with an upload speed that was significantly slower than the download speed, for example, 6Mbps/1Mbps (this is called asymmetrical speed). The reasoning for this is that many people did not utilize upload as much as they did download, and higher upload speed was more difficult to provide over copper cabling. These days, with more and more upload being used for social media, communications, and cloud file backup and storage, upload speeds need to be higher as well to provide the best Internet experience. Some companies still sell asymmetrical speeds, but we know that’s not going to provide you with the best experience. So we’re raising the bar (and our upload speeds) to make sure you can have the best technology available that is ready for the Internet usage requirements of tomorrow.

Why should I run speed tests on a hard-wired connection?

Speed testing is a method of checking how fast your Internet speed is, usually done through a website such as speedgtel.net. With slower Internet speeds, speed tests can be performed over a hard-wired or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection and usually give back accurate results. However, at higher speeds, such as our 500/500 and 1000/1000 packages, Wi-Fi technology is less likely to be able to transmit the full speed between your device and the Internet. This is due to a variety of factors including: signal strength, age of devices, Wi-Fi standard in use by the device(s), number of devices currently on your network, and even the materials used in your home’s walls and floors. Because of these often uncontrollable factors, it is unlikely that a wireless speed test performed over Wi-Fi will return an accurate reading of your Internet speed. This is why we recommend performing all speed tests over a hard-wired connection to a desktop or laptop to create ideal conditions for the test. If you have questions about your network or the speeds you are experiencing, please contact our Business Office for further support.

Can I use my own router with GTel Fiber?

Absolutely! If you choose to supply your own router and you’re on GTel Fiber, the process is very simple. The router you select must support a network authentication protocol called PPPoE. At GTel, we use PPPoE to securely authenticate routers so they can access the Internet. Most modern routers support the PPPoE protocol but be sure to check with the manufactuer’s documentation before choosing a router. A few router solutions that we know support the PPPoE protocol and work on GTel Fiber include: Amplifi, Google Nest Wifi, Linksys Velop, and Netgear Orbi*.

*GTel technical support is not able to troubleshoot issues with these or other customer owned routers or equipment.

What can I expect during construction and installation of my fiber services?

A lot happens between the moment you sign up for GTel Fiber service and when you are finally connecting to the Internet on your new high speed network. If you want to know more about the process, see our What To Expect page for your installation below!
