Is Cable Internet Holding You Back?

When the internet arrived 30 years ago, it changed our lives. As more visual websites and content were created, our old dial-up internet service providers couldn’t keep up, cable internet opened up a broader world at much faster speeds. But it’s been a long time since cable internet was introduced, and i just as dial-up couldn’t keep up with the demands of modern internet usage, cable’s aging infrastructure is likely holding you back. Broadband, powered by fiber optic networks, is opening up new frontiers of information and entertainment. The technology has the capacity to meet the demands of future internet needs, meaning it will be around a lot longer than dial-up and cable.

So why hang on to antiquated technology? Join the future right now.

If you’re undecided about switching over to fiber-powered broadband or are looking for more information, please consider the following:

Myths vs. Facts

Myth: “Cable is fast enough.”
Fact: Cable internet provides decent download speeds, but it can’t compete with the symmetrical speeds -- where upload and download speeds are equal-- of fiber. Symmetrical speeds are crucial to ensuring interruption-free video calls, reduced lag and superior overall performance—especially if multiple people in your household are working, streaming or attending classes remotely. Plus, fiber doesn’t slow down during peak hours, unlike cable, which suffers from network congestion.

Myth: “Fiber is more expensive.”
Fact: Fiber pricing is highly competitive with cable and often matches or even beats it. NH Broadband offers transparent pricing with no introductory gimmicks, so you won’t face surprise bills or sudden rate hikes.

Myth: “Switching is a hassle. Plus, I want my local news.”
Fact: NH Broadband makes switching easy with no installation or activation fees.
And if you’re cutting the cord from cable TV, you can still have your local news and cheer for your local teams – and so much more! Streaming services organize content by network name, and you can customize your guide to highlight your favorites, making navigation even simpler. Plus, with no contracts or cancellation fees, there’s no risk in giving it a try.
