Internet

Today, almost every office uses Ethernet to connect their computers, but very few use Ethernet for data once it leaves their location? The answer - almost none, but CIC is changing this. Our high performance, reliable Ethernet network transports data from your office without changing its format and at a much higher speed and throughput than traditional services such as DSL and standard T1s.

All internet connections are not created equal [link to FCC press release] The ‘speed’ of most internet connections would be more accurately called a ‘speed limit’ - how fast you can go with optimal conditions such as in the middle of the night when there is almost no traffic. As all drivers know, the real measure is how fast you can actually go and how long it takes to get from your origin to your destination. So “65 miles per hour” is often no more useful a measure of performance as “3 mega bits per second”. They both measure the wrong thing.

Customers on our Ethernet network get the full speed they pay for, even during Internet ‘rush hours’. Data speeds through our network at up to four times or more the speed in traditional networks, resulting in more throughput and faster downloads, uploads, and VPN connections.  When multiple people at your location are doing large downloads or other bandwidth intensive tasks, the more resilient Ethernet connection handles the surge much better than a traditional connection.
