Madison Communications offers internet speeds as fast as 1 GIG, giving customers in our service area access to some of the fastest internet in the nation. Just how fast is that? An internet speed of 1 GIG (or Gigabit per second) is equal to 1,000 Mbps (or Megabits per second).

To give you a frame of reference, let’s say a small office currently has a 100 Mbps internet connection. A speed upgrade from 100 Mbps to 1 GIG would be the equivalent of going from driving a car at 10 mph to driving it at 100 mph — quite a difference!

Businesses of all sizes and types are expressing interest in GIG internet. Which may leave you wondering, “What can you do with a GIG?” The simple answer is this: You can do whatever your business is doing now — such as downloading files — but it will get done in seconds instead of minutes, or minutes instead of hours. GIG speeds are a huge timesaver and productivity booster.

With GIG internet, your business can:

• Download large files, videos, images, reports, invoices, and records more quickly.
• Connect more users with more devices.
• Process multiple card transactions faster.
• Run more cloud-based apps, services, and backups simultaneously.

But it’s not only about moving files faster. It’s also about enhancing performance. GIG internet from Madison Communications improves the quality of streaming video by vastly reducing buffering and opens the door to the optimal use of real-time collaboration tools.

We’ve listed what businesses can do with GIG internet. Now let’s think about what communities can do. This level of internet speed can help attract new businesses to a community and enable existing businesses to enhance their performance. In addition, it can lay the groundwork for more telehealth services, online education, and other online resources.
