Fiber Internet
While you can use your own Wi-Fi router, we recommend using our state-of-the-art Calix routers. They are included in the monthly cost of your service. By using our routers, we are better able to help you when you have technical issues.
There could be many reasons your speed test shows a slower speed. It’s best to do a speed test if you are hard-wired directly into your modem or by using the Beacon Home app on your phone. If a speed test run either of these ways shows significantly slower than your package, this could signal a problem with the fiber or the modem.
If a speed test run any other way, such as from your laptop connected wirelessly, a slower speed result could be any number of things – including a problem with said laptop, or a problem with the wireless router.
Beacon Broadband has no data caps. Beacon Broadband does reserve the right to monitor illegal downloading/torrents.
5G is a cellular technology. Beacon Broadband does not use cellular technology in our internet service, and we currently do not offer cellular services.
Voice
Yes, we can port your phone number from your current provider. We will need information from your current service provider’s billing in order to do a phone port request. Once we have that information, please allow 10 business days for the port to occur, and do not cancel your current service until the transfer has been completed.
Yes, you can! We do not currently provide phones for sale, so if you do not have one you can purchase a VOIP or analog phone.
