What Is Fiber Internet?

Tired of slow internet and buffering? Aristotle Fiber Internet is changing the game—bringing faster, more reliable internet to rural communities.

Instead of using cable or old copper lines, like DSL, our fiber sends data through glass strands at the speed of light—giving you faster, more reliable internet for work, school, streaming, and more!

Fiber can handle streaming, video calls, and online work with little to no lag—and, unlike satellite, fiber isn't slowed down by bad weather or long distances.

It’s high speed internet built for modern life in small towns.

Let’s take a closer look at how it works.

How Does Fiber Internet Work?

Aristotle runs a small, underground fiber line from your home to a nearby connection point on our network.

Then, our installer connects the fiber box outside your home to a WiFi router inside. Then you’re ready to enjoy fast, reliable internet anywhere in your home!*

* Our standard router provides powerful WiFi suitable for most homes. If you have a larger home—especially with multiple floors or remote areas like basements—you might need one or more extenders to get full coverage. [See all our WiFi equipment here.]
