For as technologically advanced as we are today, there are still many rural communities throughout the United States that don’t have access to a reliable internet connection. At Bascom Communications, we believe that high-speed internet access through a reliable fiber connection can transform rural communities across the country. That’s why we are dedicated to bringing big-city accessibility to our customers in rural Ohio.

WHAT IS FIBER?

Fiber cables use small glass fibers to transmit data using pulses of light. While the light travels much like electricity does through a copper wire, the advantage is that fiber cables can carry multiple signals at once which results in a much faster, more reliable connection.

For businesses and households that require a large amount of bandwidth, fiber is the obvious choice, as it is more reliable across various devices being used at the same time. A fiber internet connection allows you to stream video, browse the web, back up data, and more – without the dreadful signal loss or fear of interrupting someone else’s connection.

WHY IS FIBER IMPORTANT FOR SMALL COMMUNITIES?

When small, rural communities gain access to a high-speed internet connection, it spurs growth for small businesses already there, encourages start-ups, and can even draw new industries and business opportunities into town. Technology is a large part of our everyday lives and in many ways, it has become a necessity. We rely heavily on it for basics tasks, such as navigating around a city or communicating what’s for dinner.

According to Sparklight, fiber internet helps retain and grow businesses and improves the quality of life for everyone. As a result, businesses become more productive which can lead to economic growth and prosperity. Rural communities that don’t have accessible communication infrastructure through a fiber connection have to work harder to get the information they need, and may not always have access to the same opportunities as those with one.
