Multi-gig internet is exactly what it sounds like - internet plans with speeds faster than one Gigabit. Thanks to new technology and high-quality equipment available through Rise Broadband, we're thrilled to offer these faster speeds to customers in many areas. Depending on your upload and download speed needs, you can choose a plan of up to 5 Gigs to get your work done and live your online life to the fullest.

Internet speed refers to the time it takes to transfer data back and forth from your device to the web server via the router. The standard measurement for internet speeds is Megabit per second (or Mbps). The higher the Mbps, the higher the rate at which information is uploaded and downloaded from the internet to your devices. Thanks to technological improvements, Rise Broadband is now proud to offer speeds over 1,000 Mbps, also known as 1 Gig, to customers in many areas.

Key Benefits of Multi-Gig Plans:

• Lightning-Fast Speeds: Ideal for high-definition streaming, large file transfers, and online gaming.
• Seamless Multi-Device Connectivity: Perfect for households with multiple smart devices.
• Future-Proof Networking: Prepares your home for emerging technology trends.
• Improved Productivity: Supports remote work and learning without interruptions.

Rise Broadband is actively working to expand our fiber network for faster, reliable speeds across our footprint. We currently offer internet speeds of up to 5 Gigs in several Texas communities including:

• Poteet
• Wharton
• Jourdanton
• Sandy Oaks
• Cuero
• Ponder
• Justin
• Luling
• Edna
• Lockhart
• El Campo
• Louise
• Prairie Lea
• Fentress
• Victoria

Multi-gig speeds are managed through our equipment. Our fiber network has the capability to reach high speeds, so we install a modem that supports this for our customers. Based on a customer's needs and plan preferences, we're able to deliver the faster speeds through our routers.

A Multi-Gigabit, tri-band, Wi-Fi 7 router is a device that creates a wireless network in your home or office, allowing your devices like phones, laptops, and smart TVs to connect to the internet without using cables. Here's a simple way to understand it:

• Wi-Fi 7: This is the latest version of Wi-Fi, designed to make your internet connection faster and more reliable, especially when many devices are connected at the same time. Think of it as an upgraded highway system for your internet traffic—more lanes and better efficiency.
• Tri-Band: This means the router works on three different "highways" (frequency bands) to send and receive data: one at 2.4 GHz and two at higher 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequencies. These extra bands reduce congestion, so devices can have a smoother experience, especially when many people are using the internet at once.
• Up to 5 Gbps: This is the maximum speed the router can handle—up to 5 gigabits per second. That's incredibly fast and allows for activities like streaming ultra-high-definition (4K/8K) videos, playing online games without lag, or transferring large files quickly, even if multiple people are doing these at the same time.

Remember, a variety of factors dictate the speeds you experience such as: where your device is in the house in relation to the modem and router, how much bandwidth your device requires to operate smoothly, and more. You just pick out the right plan and leave the rest to us!

As technology continues to improve, multi-gig internet will become ubiquitous. Whether you're simply using home internet for everyday web browsing, or you're preparing to connect multiple smart home devices while multiple family members stream content online, you'll want to be prepared with speeds that sustain. Future-proof your home Wi-Fi today and have peace of mind that Rise Broadband is helping to bring you into the future.
