MaxxSouth Broadband Promise

As part of MaxxSouth Broadband’s commitment to provide advanced technology to its customers, MaxxSouth Broadband is building Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology across its entire footprint.

We don’t pick and choose pockets to bring Fiber to, we are building Fiber for all.

Frequently Asked Questions

MaxxSouth Broadband is building Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology across its entire footprint and will need access to your yard to complete the neighborhood upgrade.

Yes, MaxxSouth Broadband may work in the easement or public rights of way. We will leave a small yard sign in the yard notifying you that we are building Fiber to your home. We make it our mission to put your yard and landscaping as we found it.

Right-Of-Way: A type of easement that allows companies to use a piece of land for the express purpose of public travel, such as creating bridges, roads, etc. It allows us to use land for public utilities, aka fiber-optic Internet.

Once the MaxxSouth construction team upgrades the neighborhood with Fiber, our installation team needs to complete the Fiber-to-the-Home upgrade.

During this appointment, the technician will install a small utility box called an optical network terminal (or ONT) outside or inside your home.

The installation team will run an optical jumper to the ONT to connect your home to the fiber-optic network. The ONT will connect to your router via an Ethernet connection. The ONT is a modem equivalent and there is no charge for this device when you subscribe to a MaxxSouth Fiber package.

In order to ensure the fastest, easiest, and least damaging installation process, being told in advance about these types of things is a must. They can be painted or marked with flags as well to assist our technicians.

To aid in avoiding problems or damaging other utilities, all markers and paint need to stay until the installation process is fully complete.

Fiber Internet uses fiber optic cables, made of thin strands of glass, to deliver internet directly to your home. Fiber uses laser pulses to carry Internet data, which is better for data transmission over long distances. Fiber cables can also carry much more bandwidth than similarly sized copper cables and are immune to signal interference.

MaxxSouth Fiber provides symmetrical upload and download speeds for Internet with Unlimited Data. Our bandwidth plan ranges from 1 Gig to 10 Gig download and upload speeds. This is especially important if your family uses multiple devices for multiple high-usage activities like streaming, gaming, video chatting or smart home devices. MaxxSouth Fiber lets you do all these things, at the same time, without sacrificing performance.

Fiber gives you the ability to have symmetrical uploads and downloads, so your computer is able to send data as quickly as it receives it. Symmetrical download and upload speeds are exactly the same. For instance, MaxxFiber 1 Gig will have 1,000 Mbps download and 1,000 Mbps upload speeds.

As an example, symmetrical speed provides a better user experience for those that video conference. In order for you to have a productive meeting online, you have to hear and see others in real time, without delay. MaxxFiber provides this benefit.

Our current system is a Fiber-to-the-Node construction. This type of system delivers services over Fiber to a point in your neighborhood. From there, it is sent to your home over a coaxial cable. There are many benefits to a Fiber-to-the-Home system, the biggest of which is the ability to offer symmetrical (same upload and download) Internet speeds
