Our goal is to bring you Whip City Fiber service as quickly as possible but there is a lot of preparation that takes place before we can connect homes and businesses within Westfield.

Speed

Show All

1. How fast is Whip City Fiber?

We are offering 1 gigabit service which is up to 1,000 Megabits per second upload and download speed. That is fast! Entire high definition movies are downloaded in seconds. No buffering. No stutter when streaming. Multiple devices can simultaneously receive video without causing congestion. Home data backups are a breeze.

Not only that, a fiber optic service is snappy. There is no lag waiting for data to arrive. Real time gaming is immersive. Work at home with virtual private networks. Communicate with friends or colleagues using video conferencing.

Actual speeds may vary due to a number of factors including the age and speed of your equipment and which software and websites you are using. You will always get the best speeds when your computer or other device is using a hardwired connection.

2. What does gigabit speed let me do?

Many customers are taking advantage of resources which require higher speeds and bandwidth, including streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Sling, YouTube TV), video calls, and Ultra High-definition television (UHD). Whip City Fiber provides the speed for customers to use these services and other internet resources without glitches or buffering.

3. Do you offer WiFi?

A Wi-Fi router is included with residential service to provide wireless access to tablets, phones, gaming systems, and other devices in your home. You should expect speeds over a wireless connection to be approximately half of the wired speed.

4. Are we guaranteed to receive gigabit speed?

We are building a system that supports gigabit bandwidth. We expect you will receive up-to 1,000 Mbps for both upload and download. A wired speed test should be around 960 Mbps and a wireless test, approximately 440 Mbps. Your actual speed will be affected by the age and speed of your devices, the software you are using, the server of the site you are visiting, and the overall volume of internet traffic at any given moment.

When you are connected to the Ashfield network you will be able to check your speed with the speed test located in the very top menu on the homepage at www.whipcityfiber.com/ashfield. The Whip City Tech Team is available at 1-833-WCF-HELP (1-833-923-4357) if you have any concerns about the speeds you are getting.
