If you are a current Bascom Communications subscriber, you can call our office at (419) 937-2222 to determine what tier is right for your household. To make a good determination, we will ask you some questions about your Internet usage habits. Our customer support representatives will also analyze your previous month’s Internet data usage. With this information, we will be able to help you determine which Data Tier is the proper one for your household.

Data Tiers are the allotted amount of data transfer on your Internet connection per billing cycle. Currently, Bascom Communications’ average data usage per customer is around 149 GB per month.

Think of it this way: Being on the Internet is like driving a car. Your bandwidth speeds are how fast the car goes. The Data Tiers is how much gas you put into your car.

Only if you want to! Generally speaking, if you have purchased a router within the last two years (such as an AC750, AC1200, or AC2600 from Bascom Communications), your router might already be capable of achieving Gigabit Internet speeds! However, since not all routers are designed equally, it might be hard to determine just by looking at it. If you are unsure if your router is capable of Gigabit Internet speeds, please contact our office at (419) 937-2222, and one of our customer service representatives can assist you.

Please note that you do not necessarily need a new router to achieve faster speeds. However, older routers are often limited to 100 Mbps on the Ethernet (wired) ports and much slower speeds over Wi-Fi.

Gigabit speeds are up to 200 times FASTER than a base wired residential connection. The chart below shows the speed increase you will gain compared to your current Internet package:
