Does weather affect my wireless service?
Only if its 125 mph winds in which case you may want to take shelter
Weather does not affect the signal at all. In most cases, poor weather actually increases the strength of the signal due to reduced signal interference from other sources. Most customers are located only a few miles from the nearest broadcast location so our signal is strong enough to overcome all weather conditions.
How is your service different than cable/phone companies? How is it faster/better?
Comparing GiGstreem to other ISPs you will find that others say speeds “UP TO…” or “AS FAST AS…” Usually, the speeds you are paying for are not what you are actually getting.
GiGstreem’s speeds are guaranteed to be AT LEAST the service tier you are paying for. Guaranteed to never be slower. Also because our internet is built on a dedicated network, with less than 2 hops to the nearest data center, your latency is superior and you do not experience peak slow down times.
Lastly, I think you’ll agree that our personalized customer service with 24 x 7 support is a drastic improvement on any other ISPs experience.
