GFiber 2 Gig Plan Overview
With 2 Gig, you can get downloads of up to 2 gigabits per second and uploads of up to 1 gigabit per second using a wired connection as long as your cables, ports, and device are capable of the speeds.
Here, we offer some tips about how to get fast internet over Wi-Fi.
- Typically, the closer to your router you are, the faster your speed.
- Remember that some building materials used to create walls and other obstacles can block the Wi-Fi signal emitted by your router. So if there’s, say, a cinder block wall between you and your router, you may get a better signal by moving to the other side of the wall.
- Your Wi-Fi connection can run into interference from signals being sent by microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, garage door openers and other devices. So, when possible, connect using your network's 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency, and turn off any devices that may be interfering when you want to go fast over Wi-Fi.
Some devices won’t be able to handle multi-gig speeds (like 2 Gig) even with a wired connection, simply because they’re not up-to-date. There are several things you can do to bridge those gaps, including updating your operating system and having a new network card installed. Here are some other variables that may affect your internet speeds.
