Internet types: Sparklight vs. Verizon
Verizon offers fiber and 5G fixed wireless internet, which are very different. Fiber internet runs over fiber-optic cables. It’s capable of faster speeds (especially upload speed), lower latency, and better reliability compared to cable internet. But it’s also harder to find. Fiber infrastructure is expensive, so its availability is limited.
Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless internet runs via cell towers. Because the service is completely wireless, fixed wireless internet is easy to set up and maintain—you can usually set it up yourself without much trouble. Additionally, fixed wireless internet received the highest ratings in our annual customer satisfaction survey.
Sparklight provides cable internet, which is the primary internet type in the U.S. It’s also very fast and reliable, and because it uses the same infrastructure used previously for cable TV, it’s widely available.
All in all, you probably wouldn’t notice a big difference between any of these three internet types, but if you have a choice, fiber is the best and most robust type of internet connection you can get.
