HFN Download: Fiber Network’s Response to Increasing Data Needs

By July 23, 2024HFN

How modern life is driving the need for faster connections.

At Highlands Fiber Network (HFN), we understand just how crucial the internet has become in our daily lives. Our homes are now packed with technology that keeps us connected and entertained — from smartphones and laptops to smart TVs and gaming consoles.

According to Parks Associates, a leading market research firm, the average American home now has about 17 devices connected to the internet. Smartphones play a big role in this shift, often used alongside other devices like laptops and smart TVs, especially during busy times like mornings and evenings.

With the number of connected devices continuing to grow, having a reliable and fast internet connection is more important than ever. While some struggle with slowdowns, we’re committed to keeping your connection smooth and uninterrupted.

To meet this growing demand, HFN is building a new fiber network that’s faster and better than ever before. This upgrade will increase speeds by 2.5 times, all at the same price. With more devices in every household, this upgrade ensures that everyone can enjoy seamless connectivity.

But that’s not all. This summer, we’re excited to introduce our new managed Wi-Fi service option. This service will take the guesswork out of managing your home network. With our powerful new app, you can:

  • Monitor your connection and security
  • Set up guest access
  • Control and limit your children’s internet usage
  • Get free replacements if your device fails or needs an upgrade

Faster internet isn’t just about speed; it’s about enhancing our quality of life. Whether it’s better communication, remote education, improved healthcare or reducing isolation, high-speed internet makes a big difference.

At HFN, we’re dedicated to providing the reliable, high-speed internet that modern homes need. For more information, visit us at highlandsfibernetwork.com.
