In today’s digital age, high-speed internet is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Cleveland Utilities is proud to offer a 100% fiber network, giving customers cutting-edge connectivity that enhances the way you live, work, and communicate.
But what do we mean by “100% fiber network”?
We’re glad you asked!
A true 100% fiber network means that the entire infrastructure—from our central hub to your home—is entirely fiber optic. Unlike traditional networks that rely on copper or hybrid connections, a true fiber network made of 100% fiber optic cables, which is what makes it lightning fast and the highest speed available.
Also known as fiber-to-the-home, 100% fiber technology brings high-speed internet connection directly to your home, giving you an optimal online experience for streaming, gaming, learning, and more.
Our 100% fiber network provides symmetrical speeds, which means you get the same lightning-fast upload and download speeds, something competitors often can’t offer. Whether you're uploading large files, video conferencing, or gaming online, 100% fiber guarantees a lag-free connection. That means no more buffering during your favorite show or missing a hype play during the big game.
True fiber networks are less susceptible to bad weather conditions, electromagnetic interference, and weakened signals over a distance. Why? Fiber optic cables use light to transmit data rather than electrical signals.
Since fiber optics transmit data as pulses of light within glass strands, this makes fiber a more reliable and stable option for internet connectivity.
This means fewer outages and a more dependable, consistent connection for you.
Beyond just internet and phone services, fiber plays a crucial role in modernizing Cleveland’s electric grid. Through distribution automation, our fiber network enables a self-healing grid that can detect faults, isolate outages, and reroute power efficiently—minimizing downtime and improving reliability for CU electric customers.
Our robust fiber network does more than provide fast internet—it lays the foundation for a more connected community. From improving municipal services to attracting businesses and supporting education, Cleveland Utilities’ fiber infrastructure is an investment in the future of the entire community.
