Customer Services How Fiber Works

What is a fiber optic network?

It’s a fiber-optic communications network that converts electronic signals for Internet, telephone and television into light and sends them over glass strands that are less than the width of a human hair.

With the unsurpassed speed of fiber, users can get speeds up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) high-speed Internet over Chelan County PUD’s fiber network. Fiber offers unmatched speed and quality compared to other types of networks, such as twisted copper (DSL) or coax cable (cable internet).
