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.
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.
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.
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.
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)

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

Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server for commercial purposes.

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