Fright-Free Fiber Internet
Don’t Get Tricked — The Right In-Home Fiber Internet Can Be a Treat First things first — in-home internet is essential. Phones, tablets, TVs, smart devices, video-enabled doorbells, and more depend on a reliable internet connection to function correctly. Choosing the right provider can seem frightening at first. It doesn’t have to be. We’ve collected a few of the top things to look for when you’re ready to make a decision. Check the MapGetting the best in-home connection starts with knowing what’s available. Check to see which fiber internet providers are in your area. Knowing what your service options are should be as easy as entering your address . Understand Your NeedsThe amount of bandwidth you need depends on a variety of factors. For instance, the number of devices connected to the network and what the bandwidth is being used for impact how much bandwidth is needed. Users who regularly consume large amounts of bandwidth, such as remote workers or online gaming fans, require a plan that delivers more speed. Likewise for homes with multiple people and devices. Likewise for homes with multiple people and devices. Spook-Tacular SpeedsSpeed matters. For most households, anywhere from 100 Mbps up to 1 Gbps is more than enough. Some providers advertise plans with bandwidth up to 8 Gbps, but only a small fraction of people actually need that much power. Don’t Get Ghosted“It was a dark and stormy night when the internet went out.” If reading that sentence gave you chills, you’re not alone. It’s hard to binge-watch your favorite horror flicks with an internet connection that goes dark without warning. While some providers have information about reliability readily available, reviews from real users in the area often paint a more complete picture. Check out what people have to say on social media about the companies you’re considering see if they’re hiding any skeletons behind closed doors. Beware of Phantom Fees and Jump-Scare ChargesThe last place you want to find any surprises is in your service contract. Beware of tricky providers who might try to bury introductory offers or hidden “gotcha” fees to raise your monthly bill after a few months. Instead, look for plans that outline everything up front and providers who are willing to explain important details clearly. Help Without a Horror StoryContacting customer support shouldn’t be scary. Problems don’t come with a warning, which is why it’s important to know that your provider makes the process of getting help as simple and stress-free as possible. Empire Access: Fright-Free In-Home Fiber We’re about treats, not tricks. Empire Access is committed to providing a superior quality of service throughout the northeast with reliable fiber internet at stream-worthy speeds and scare-free customer support.

Getting to Know the Empire Access Team
Meet Jane Andreason Community and commitment — two things Empire Access and Jane Andreason have in common. When she was first starting out, Empire was known by a different name. It was North Penn Telephone and most of the customers she spoke with lived nearby. The kind of explosive growth that propelled the company to becoming one of the leading providers in the northeast was something Jane never could have imagined, and she’s seen a lot of change during her tenure. For instance, DSL replaced dial-up, copper lines made way for fiber, and Empire went from a regional provider to a well-known, award-winning name in the northeast. One thing that hasn’t changed is her commitment to customers. Helping customers is more than what she does. It’s what Jane’s passionate about. For instance, Jane stated, “I enjoy being in customer service with a very family-oriented company.” “I love this type of work. I love working with people.” She’s worked in customer service for over 40 years and been part of the Empire Access family for more than half that time. For someone like Jane, part of loving what she does comes back to having personal relationships with customers and coworkers. As a lifelong local of Roseville, she’s known many of them for years. Some have even formed friendships with the rest of her family and know Jane’s children by name. There have been plenty of memorable moments, too — a farmer riding up to the office on his John Deere tractor to pay his bill, or customers coming through the drive-through window and asking with a laugh if they can get some fries and a shake with their internet service. Jane is just one example of how community is at the heart of everything Empire does. From sponsoring teams in the area W Jackson Little League to participating in the annual Prattsburgh Summerfest and more. And for Jane, knowing that her job still helps the community — a much bigger community than two decades ago — is what being part of the Empire family is all about.

Ace your Connection: Why Fiber is the Best Back-to-School Upgrade
Gear up for back-to-school season with the first part of our three-part series dedicated to upgrading your internet experience. In an increasingly digital world, your choice of internet service is as critical as picking the perfect backpack. Our series will focus on the benefits of fiber internet over traditional cable internet, looking at aspects like speed and performance, reliability and security, and the benefits of planning for your digital future. First up? Understanding why fiber’s speed and performance outshine traditional cable. A Quick Intro to Fiber Internet Fiber internet uses thin strands of glass to transmit information as pulses of light. Imagine a highway with cars traveling at the speed of light. That’s fiber. And because light travels fast, you get to enjoy lightning-fast internet speeds. Cable internet, on the other hand, uses copper cables – like the ones used for cable TV – to transmit data. But copper can’t match the speed of light, so it’s generally slower and less efficient than fiber. Cable might have been the go-to choice for residential internet in the past, but fiber is fast becoming the new favorite. More and more households are switching to fiber as it becomes readily available. Why? The Need for Speed and Performance With summer days fading and the bustle of back-to-school shopping taking center stage, it’s clear: A new school year is right around the corner. This means kids will soon be diving into online research for projects, participating in virtual study groups, and maybe even attending a few online classes. With all these digital demands, having a high-speed and efficient internet connection becomes not just a luxury, but a necessity. That’s where fiber internet shines. So, why is fiber the standout choice when it comes to speed and performance? Let’s paint a picture: Your teenager is researching for a crucial history project due in two days, your middle-schooler is uploading their science project (or maybe downloading the latest expansion pack for their favorite game – we’re not judging!), while you’re catching up on your streaming shows. With a cable connection, this would be the digital equivalent of a traffic jam. But with a fiber connection, it’s a different story. You’re not sharing your bandwidth with your neighbors. This means no more internet “rush hours.” Homework gets done on time and your show streams smoothly. Another advantage of fiber is its ability to offer equal upload and download speeds. This is vital when you consider a typical evening in a busy family household. Your child is upstairs, diligently working on a video project for school (and definitely not gaming). It’s a big file that needs to be uploaded to the class website by tomorrow. Meanwhile, in the home office downstairs you’re preparing for an important meeting. Your colleague has just sent you a substantial presentation to download and review. With a cable connection, one of you will have to compromise. But with fiber, there’s no need for trade-offs. You can both send and receive heavy files at the same speed. And then there’s the bliss of buffer-free streaming. It’s one thing to experience a cliffhanger because of a great plotline, but it’s an entirely different and frustrating scenario when the suspense is caused by unreliable internet. The anticipation is no longer thrilling – it’s annoying. With a fiber connection, you’re spared from unwanted buffering. In essence, choosing fiber internet is choosing peace of mind for the whole family. No more worrying about internet speeds or disruptions – just focus on making the most of the school year and beyond.
