WHY WIRELESS?

JCWIFI vs. FIBER AND CABLE: KEY DIFFERENCES

LATENCY

JCWIFI has lower latency*…no wonder even financial traders prefer wireless *Latency is the delay that occurs when your computer is talking to other computers/servers; for example, you may experience low or high latency (delay) during an online auction or engaging sports game –not good!

PRICE SUPPORT RELIABILITY

JCWIFI offers low, consistent, nohidden fee pricing compared to fiber and cable providers’ often inconsistent, add-on pricing

JCWIFI is local with friendly, local tech and customer support — not outsourced like a national company

JCWIFI cannot be physically cut so is less fragile than fiber optics where cut lines can result in long outages

SPEED

JCWIFI uses radio waves that travel at the speed of light so your wireless internet is as fast as the s peed of light
