Internet Basics

What is symmetrical internet connection/speeds?

A symmetrical internet connection means that the data speed and file transfer rate are the same in both directions, i.e., download and upload speeds are identical. For example, streaming videos are downloading, whereas sending a file is uploading. Video conferencing is both because you're sending and receiving video at the same time. Symmetric connection speed is super important to avoid lag in either direction. Most internet providers o er slower upload speeds because of the limits of the copper cables they use. Our network is 100% fiber optic, so that limitation magically vanishes.

What is the difference between megabit and gigabit?

Megabits (Mbps) and gigabits (Gbps) are units of measurement for the speed in which information travels through the internet. Gigabits provide higher speed than megabits, and 100 megabits are ten times faster than 10 megabits. We o er a range of speed options from 1 gig to 3 Gigs for all your internet needs. Picking one depends on a few factors, including how you use the internet and how many devices will be on it at the same time. We can help talk you through the options.

Why does fast internet speed matter?

Whether you are working from home, streaming your favorite movie, video calling Grandma, or conquering the latest game, all those activities require fast, reliable internet for a great experience. Don't be restricted by slower speeds that get bogged down even more when everyone at home is on their favorite device. Whether wired or over Wi-Fi, the more people use an internet connection, the slower it may go. So it's important to have higher speeds available so that everyone can use the internet without slowdowns.

What does Norwood Light Broadband Fiber offer?

Norwood Light Broadband Fiber offers fast, reliable 100% fiber-optic internet with powerful Wi-Fi at symmetrical speeds and without data caps, hidden fees, or other unpleasant surprises.



Service & Installation

How do I check if there is an outage in my area?

If your internet goes down unexpectedly, please call us at 781.948.1150 to report the issue so we can hop on it. If we experience an unexpected outage in your area, we will email or text you to let you know. (Note: you will need to opt into receiving text of email messages. Alerts and Notification)
https://mybroadbandaccount.com/norwoodlight

Why fiber? Why is it better than copper?

Fiber optic cables offer higher speeds and more reliable service and transmit data upwards of 100x faster than traditional copper cables, which have limited bandwidth and transmission speed. Fiber cables use light rather than electronic pulses to transmit data so the signal travels farther without losing speed or signal. This means all your streaming services will stream, not stall, and you won’t lose the game because your internet was too slow.

Will construction at my home affect my internet?

It might. Call us at 781-948-1150 and tell us what you’re having done so we can determine if we need to move your connection point or make any other changes.

Can I keep my existing phone service?

Yes. For residential customers, Norwood Light Broadband Fiber is an internet/phone-only provider. We do o2er residential phone service for $24.99 per month for the 1st phone line. $14.99 for any additional lines.

Can I keep my existing TV service?

No. For residential customers, Norwood Light Broadband Fiber is an internet/phone-only provider. We do not offer TV service, but with Norwood Light Broadband fast and reliable Internet connection you can stream TV through popular streaming services using your smart TV or a device such as a Firestick or Apple TV, typically at a fraction of the cost of your current cable package.

What is included and what is additional?

Both ONT (Optical Network Terminal) and Wi-Fi router are included at no charge. If you have a large home or thick walls that requires a signal boost, you can lease additional Wi-Fi units for $6.99 each per month. Please contact us at: 781-948-1150 and press option 2.

Which devices will be installed with Norwood Light Broadband Fiber?

A ONT (Optical Network Terminal) and Wi-Fi router are installed.

Can I set up a guest or public Wi-Fi network?

Yes. Our Wi-Fi allows multiple accounts and passwords including guest passwords. Need to give the babysitter limited access? No problem. How about your weekend guests? Set their password to expire Sunday night. You have total control.

How long will you support the equipment provided? What should I do if it breaks?

Norwood Light Broadband Fiber Internet owns and supports the connectivity hardware provided by our service technicians. If the equipment provided breaks, we will replace it at no charge. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call at 781-948-1150 and press option 2.

Can I run a server from my home?

Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server for commercial purposes. However, personal, non-commercial usage of servers that complies with our Acceptable Use policy is fine, including using a virtual private network (VPN) to access services in your home and using hardware or applications that include server capabilities for uses like multi-player gaming, videoconferencing, and home security.

Can I use my own Wi-Fi system?

Yes, but if you use your own Wi-Fi system, please make sure that it fits the recommended specifications. Please note that the Norwood Light Broadband Fiber support team will not be able to support Wi-Fi systems manufactured by third parties. We highly recommend using the included Wi-Fi 7 router for optimum performance.

How does my installation get scheduled?

Visit the Residential Internet page or call us at 781-948-1150 and press option 3.

How can I change my installation appointment time?

Please contact us at 781-948-1150 and press option 2 to reschedule.

What happens during the installation?

Installation is broken into two parts. Outside installation is first, where we run the fiber optic cable from the service demark to the side of your home and connect it via a NID (grey box full of wizardry) that hangs inconspicuously on the outside. Then we install your router and set up the Wi-Fi inside your home. After that, it’s surf’s up!



Internet Plans

Your service claims to offer symmetrical speeds. My old internet service only gave me part of the advertised speed at certain times of the day. Will I get all the bandwidth and speed with Norwood Light Broadband Fiber?

Devices that are hardwired to your new router will receive all the speed and bandwidth promised. Wireless speed depends entirely on the wireless network within your home and varies based on several factors including distance from the wireless connection point to the device, obstacles in between them, and environmental factors.

How to run a speed test Performing a speed test on your home network can be a great way to troubleshoot any issues you think you might be having with your internet connection. If you run a speed test and your upload and download speeds are much slower than the speeds provided by your internet plan, you may have an issue with your internet connection.

Not only does a speed test give you the upload and download speeds of your network at that current time, but it provides upload and download ping/latency results as well. For reference, if you have anywhere between 1-60ms of latency in your home network (for upload or download), those are considered great latency values. If your latency values are greater than 150ms, you may experience
performance issues, and you’ll want to take a closer look at why your latency is so high.

For best results when running a speed test, we recommend the following:

We recommend the speed test that Ookla offers, as I have had great experience using their speed test (and I feel it gives the most accurate results)
Ensure you’re the only one using the internet when you perform the speed test
Run the speed test multiple times throughout the day to get an average speed that your home network is seeing
When running the speed test, connect your device to your router with an ethernet cable. This will ensure a poor Wi-Fi signal doesn’t affect your speed test results

Will my Wi-Fi connection be as fast as a wired connection?

No. Wi-Fi is slower than wired connections. However, the Wi-Fi technology in our mesh network provides great connectivity throughout your home or business.

Do I need to buy a new computer to take full advantage of Fiber Internet?

To take full advantage of a Fiber 1000mbs/ 1Gbps connection, you’ll need a computer or laptop that supports a gigabit (in geek terms, this means having a 1Gbps 1000BaseT network interface card). Most newer computers and laptops already support gigabit speeds. But if you’re not sure if your computer or laptop does, consult your computer documentation and look for the following terms: 1000baseTx or 1000Mbps or 1Gbps or GigE.

Is your Wi-Fi mesh or extender?

We use eero, a sophisticated yet easy-to-use mesh network that delivers consistent signal strength throughout your home.

Will I be able to use Wi-Fi with Norwood Light Broadband Fiber?

Yes. Your Norwood Light Broadband Fiber internet service includes powerful Wi-Fi designed to give you access to high-speed fiber internet throughout your home. You can use your existing Wi-Fi if you prefer, but we can’t o2er the level of support you would get with ours. Switch to ours. You’ll like it better.

Are there any data caps on my internet connection?

No way! We want you to use and enjoy all of your super-fast Internet. There are no caps or limits to the amount of data you can send or receive. And we don’t throttle back, ever. It’s full speed all the time.



Digital Phone

How do I access my residential phone portal?

You can manage your residential phone service features, including voicemail, call forwarding, and billing preferences, through your dedicated online portal. This portal allows you to customize and control your service from anywhere



Troubleshooting

How can I test my internet speed?

You can easily test your current connection speed to see if you are getting the bandwidth you expect. For the most accurate results, we recommend performing the test while connected to your Wi-Fi network or—even better—by directly connecting your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable.

Run a free, third-party speed test. >

How do I troubleshoot connectivity issues with my home internet?

If your internet is down, try these three quick steps before calling support:

Check the Modem Lights: Locate your modem (where the fiber line connects). Verify the Power, Broadband, Service, and Ethernet lights are all lit up. If you’re using one of our eero mesh Wi-Fi, check your eero app for the status of your network.
Reboot the Modem: Unplug the modem, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to fully restart and for your router to reconnect.
Connection: Ensure your device has reconnected to your Wi-Fi network, and then try loading a website.

Broadband – Return all equipment (boxes, remote controls, power cords, etc.) to our office at 136 Access Road between the hours of 7:45 am – 4 pm Monday through Friday.

Why does my electric bill seem higher than usual?

A higher than usual bill may be due to the seasons, holidays and billing periods.

Seasonal Reasons:

Cold weather can increase you bill by more than 10% if you use electric heat.
Shorter days increase the need for lighting.
Heavier, winter clothing requires a longer time in an electric dryer.
During holidays, more electricity is used for cooking, cleaning, lighting, heating and entertaining.
Indoor activities use more energy for lighting, cooking and entertaining.Hot, humid weather can increase cooling costs by 10% or more.

A typical billing period is between 29 and 31 days. Holidays and other factors beyond our control may make a billing period up to 35 days long. An additional five days can increase a bill by 17%.

When should I receive my bill?

Electric Bills are mailed based on your account number.
- Accounts beginning with 011 through 102, 232, 233 and 241 are mailed on the 6th of each month.
- Accounts beginning with 111 through 221, 231, 251 and 252 are mailed on the 24th of each month.

What do the line items on my bill mean?

Visit the Reading Your Bill page for detailed explanations on your electric, water, and internet/phone bills.

How do I pay my bill?

We have five convenient ways for customers to pay the bills, visit the Ways to Pay page to learn more.

What payment options do I have?

Credit/Debit cards with a Visa®, American Express®, Discover®, or MasterCard Logo® (3% service fee added to all credit/debit card payments)

Check payments mailed thru the US Post Service
Pay in person at the Town Hall or Light Department
Pay by phone 781-948-1150 with e-check or credit/debit card (fees apply)

Why is my first bill higher than expected?

We bill each month’s charges in advance. As an example, if you sign up in September you will not receive your first bill until the first week of October in which it will show prorated charges for the month of September and a full month’s charges for October. This is due to the date your service started. If your installation was completed before your billing cycle began, your first bill will be a little higher. Don’t worry, this only happens once. Your next bill will be back to normal.

How and when will I be billed?

Monthly on the first business day of each month.

Will I receive a paper bill?

We send a paper bill by default. You can sign up for email billing. If you choose to sign up for email billing and ACH automatic payment you will receive a $5 credit towards your monthly bill. (This $5 credit is for fiber internet customers only, not legacy internet.)
