Highline Fiber Internet Vs. Cable Internet
For years, the best option for internet in Georgia has been cable. Local cable providers deliver internet using hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks—part fiber, part traditional copper cable. When it works, it can provide a decent connection, but it’s still limited by the older coaxial technology. That means it’s more prone to weather-related outages, slower upload speeds, and peak-hour slowdowns when everyone in your neighborhood is online at once.
Fortunately, something better is now available: 100% fiber internet from Highline.
So, what makes Highline Fiber different from your old cable provider? Let’s break it down—here are three reasons Georgia residents prefer Highline Fiber Internet.
1. Local Support and Service
We separate ourselves from cable companies right away by being a local service provider. Your neighbors are the ones installing the fiber lines, answering your calls, and helping you get connected. They’re part of this community, and they care about keeping it connected.
Our focus is on you, not shareholders in another state. That means:
- No contracts you don’t want.
- No upselling or pushing bundles you don’t need.
- Just fast, reliable internet and people who take pride in keeping it that way.
We understand how important dependable internet is to your family. Whether you’re working remotely, attending telehealth appointments, helping your children with online learning, or streaming your favorite shows without interruptions.
And when something goes wrong, you’ll get a quick local response!
2. The Freedom of Fiber
Cable internet relies on coax lines shared among households, which means your speeds can drop when everyone’s online. With Highline Fiber, your connection is dedicated and consistent, offering symmetrical upload and download speeds that cable technology can’t match.
That means:
- Uploading large files or hosting video calls feels effortless.
- Telehealth visits and remote work are smooth and reliable.
- You can cut the cord on cable TV and choose from countless streaming options that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Fiber doesn’t just improve your internet, it enhances the way you live, work, and connect.
3. Fiber Adds Real Value to Your Home
Choosing fiber internet isn’t just about speed; it’s a smart investment in your property. Studies show that homes with fiber internet access are more desirable and can sell for more. According to the Fiber Broadband Association, having fiber can increase a home’s value by up to 3.1%, which can translate to an average of $9,000 more on a $300,000 home.
In fact:
- A 2015 study by the University of Colorado and Carnegie Mellon University found that fiber access adds roughly the same boost to home value as adding a fireplace or half a bathroom.
- The National Association of Realtors reports that buyers rank high-speed internet as one of their top three must-have features in a new home.
So, when you choose Highline Fiber, you’re not only upgrading your internet, you’re increasing the long-term value and appeal of your home.
