Christmas present from Airebeam

A couple of days before Christmas, the fiber internet provider in the park, Airebeam, came to install fiber internet to our house.

It is great to see the Airebeam installer!

They first needed to add our service to the pedestal in another neighbor's yard.

The pedestal has the capacity to supply service for 16 properties.

The fiber goes through this box on the outside of our house through the small white plastic pipe to the inside.

The installer then capped off the ingress pipe so no bugs or dirt could get in.

We have the new fiber internet, and we've done speed tests, and, via our phones, we can see that we are getting the higher speed internet service. However, the wifi connections on our computers and cannot deliver to our computers the full speed that the fiber is giving us. It is still significantly faster than what we were receiving from our Verizon Home device. 

 

Carl has plans to provide hardwire connections (via CAT6 cabling) to most devices in our house which should enable us to get the faster service even on our older laptops. Of course, they still have older processors and drives so we may not see amazing speed!
