Why Elevate
Benefits of Fiber Internet
Why fiber? There are too many reasons to list, but the one that counts the most is you. Elevate is the only 100% fiber internet provider in Montrose and Delta counties because we believe our communities deserve the very best.
Future proof
The fiber network we install today will be able to handle the increased demand for more bandwidth in the future. As that demand grows, only the network equipment would need to be upgraded over time, not the actual fiber cables.
Speed
Fiber optic cables send data up to 1,000 times faster than copper cables, meaning it is easier to connect with others, upload data, load websites, and stream. All other technologies on the market have lower upload speeds vs. download. With fiber, you get the same fast speed, upload and download.
Secure
We build a dedicated fiber line directly to your home or business, meaning you will get more consistent speeds. Plus, since fiber cables do not radiate a signal, it is extremely difficult to extract data from it—making it more secure.
Reliable
Fiber can better withstand different temperatures, water, and weather than other technologies. And since we build fiber lines directly to your home, you don’t have to worry about spotty signals from a satellite or tower.
The technology
Since fiber is made of glass, it transmits light instead of electricity. Other technologies that deliver internet include cable, copper, DSL, among others. These other technologies transmit with electricity and are shared lines (vs. dedicated like our fiber lines), meaning your experience will suffer based on the amount of people on the network.
Economic development
Fiber brings opportunity. Not just the opportunity for buffer-free streaming, but opportunity for businesses to expand and for our communities to attract new businesses. Our areas can also attract new residents, who may telecommute, and can only live here because the power of fiber.
