Yellowstone Fiber Means Business
Your business gets its own fiber port.
Most internet shares a connection with the neighborhood. Yellowstone Fiber runs a dedicated fiber line from your business to our network core, and provisions a port at the speed you order. You are not waiting on a neighbor's traffic, and you are not hoping for an "up to" number.
The difference
Shared service versus your own port
Most broadband technologies split one connection among many customers. The speed you see depends on who else is online. A Yellowstone Fiber business connection is a dedicated port that belongs to your location.
Shared service
Cable, PON, fixed wireless, DSL
- Everyone on the shared segment draws from one pool of capacity.
- Speed at 7 p.m. can differ from speed at 7 a.m.
- Upload speeds are often a fraction of download speeds.
Yellowstone Fiber
Dedicated fiber port
- Your location has its own fiber port on the network.
- The port runs at the speed you order, every hour of the day.
- Upload and download are symmetrical on residential plans.
Side by side
How the common options compare
Every technology below can deliver a useful connection. The question for a business is what you share and what "up to" really promises.
| Technology | How it reaches you | What you share | What "up to" means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellowstone Fiber dedicated port | Your own fiber line to the network core | Your port. No shared neighborhood segment. | Not applicable: the port is provisioned at your ordered rate |
| PON (shared fiber) | One fiber split among many homes at a splitter | The fiber and splitter, with every customer on it | Depends on how many neighbors are online |
| Cable (DOCSIS) | Coax shared by a neighborhood node | Node capacity, shared with the whole segment | Depends on neighborhood peak use; upload often much lower |
| Fixed wireless | Radio link from a tower sector | Sector capacity, plus line of sight and weather | Depends on distance, weather, and sector load |
| DSL | Copper phone line from a central office | Shared backhaul; speed falls with line length | Depends on the length and condition of the copper line |
General descriptions of common access technologies. Actual performance varies by location, equipment, and provider.
What you are buying
A provisioned port, not an "up to" speed
"Up to" describes the best a shared network might deliver on a good day. A provisioned port is the rate on your order, reserved for your location.
250 Mbps to 10 Gbps
Symmetrical residential tiers: 250 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps.
Up to 100 Gbps
Business speeds scaled to what your location needs.
Your port
A dedicated fiber connection to our network core, not a segment you share with neighbors.
Ask us the right question. When you compare quotes, ask each provider what the port is, what it is provisioned at, and what happens at peak hours. A business connection should be measured by the rate it guarantees, not the best speed it can reach.
