Learn About Fibre Internet for Business

You may have heard that Wightman is connecting communities in Southern and Midwestern Ontario with Fibre Optic Technology. Currently, we are constructing Fibre Optic networks in Shelburne, Orangeville, Stratford, Mildmay and Teeswater, as part of our commitment to bringing high speed Fibre networks to small town Ontario.

You may be wondering what advantages Wightman high speed Fibre has for your business, and what makes it different from other types of Internet, TV, and Phone technology. Here’s a quick lesson on what Fibre to the Business from Wightman can do to make any size of business more successful, and better prepared for the future.

Fibre to the Business technology is a high-speed broadband internet connection that utilizes fiber-optic cables to transmit data as pulses of light. These cables are made of thin strands of glass or plastic and are capable of carrying data over long distances at incredibly high speeds. Fibre-optic internet is known for its exceptional speed, reliability, and several advantages over other types of telecommunications technology, especially for businesses. Here’s why fiber is considered superior for business use:

  1. High Speed and Bandwidth: Fibre internet provides businesses with significantly higher speeds and bandwidth compared to other technologies like DSL or cable. This means faster downloads, uploads, and the ability to handle multiple data-intensive tasks simultaneously.
  2. Symmetrical Speeds: Fibre offers symmetrical speeds, ensuring that both upload and download speeds are nearly identical. This is crucial for businesses that rely on activities like video conferencing, cloud backups, and large file transfers.
  3. Low Latency: Fibre-optic connections have very low latency, meaning data travels quickly between the business and the server. Low latency is essential for real-time applications, such as online collaboration tools and VoIP communication.
  4. Reliability: Fibre is highly reliable and less susceptible to interference or signal degradation, even during adverse weather conditions. This reliability ensures minimal downtime for business operations.
  5. Scalability: Fiber infrastructure is easily scalable, allowing businesses to increase their internet speeds and bandwidth as their needs grow. This flexibility is essential for accommodating increased data usage and future expansion.
  6. Security: Fibre-optic cables are difficult to tap into or intercept, providing an added layer of security for business data. This is crucial for protecting sensitive business information and communications.
  7. Business Continuity: Fibre internet can be complemented with redundancy and failover solutions to ensure uninterrupted connectivity, which is vital for maintaining business continuity.
  8. Support for Cloud Services: With the increasing adoption of cloud-based applications and services, a high-speed, low-latency connection like fibre is essential for seamless access to cloud resources.
  9. Competitive Advantage: Having access to faster and more reliable internet can give businesses a competitive edge. It allows for faster response times, smoother online customer interactions, and efficient data processing.
  10. Future-Proofing: Fibre infrastructure is well-suited for future technological advancements. As businesses continue to rely on high-speed internet for various operations, fiber offers room for growth and adaptation to emerging technologies.
  11. Longevity: Fibre-optic infrastructure has a longer lifespan and requires less maintenance compared to older technologies like copper. This can result in a more stable and consistent internet connection.
  12. Growth: Bringing Fibre to communities makes them more attractive to businesses, attracting both jobs and homeowners, and enhancing home values. 

Fibre internet technology is considered better than other types of telecommunications technology due to its exceptional speed, low latency, reliability, symmetrical speeds, scalability, security, and longevity. It provides a superior Internet, TV, and Phone experience, especially for users who require high bandwidth and low latency for activities like gaming, streaming, and remote work.

Fibre is expensive to install, but Wightman has made the decision to invest in this valuable and necessary technology in the rural communities it serves, because we know that small town Ontario deserves access to the same technology that big cities do. It’s an investment in the future that we feel will pay off for all of us.

Our world is connected like never before, and Wightman is connecting communities for the future. From providing outstanding customer service to giving back to our communities, our deep-rooted values and commitment to our customers are the foundation of our continued growth and success.

“Wightman has been very, very generous with us in offering us a great, quality service.  I think the interaction has been terrific”,
stated Eric Mileham, Owner/Operator for Erskine’s Service Centre, following the installation of Wightman Fibre to the Business for Internet and Phone.

Land  clean-up required as a result of the construction will be completed by a professional team, AVERTEX Utility Solutions Inc. At this time of year our crews will be working on lawn restoration as ground conditions permit and dry topsoil becomes available. If you have concerns about the installation or clean-up after construction, please contact AVERTEX at 1-226-383-3060.

Our crews and contractors are working in the neighbourhoods of Downie Street, Whitelock Street, Home Street, Saint David Street, Cambria Street, Erie Street, Church Street, and Birmingham Street. If you live in Stratford and haven’t signed up for Wightman Fibre to the Home, now’s the time! We won’t automatically bring fibre to your location, so it’s important that homes and businesses sign up so we don’t miss you when construction is in your area.

There are a few ways that you can sign up using one of these contact-free methods:

Last week, the question was asked, “What are all the conduits for in the ground, are they all for Wightman Fibre?” What a great question!
Answer: The smaller conduits are for the individual fibres that will go to each home. The larger conduits are for various fibre lines that each contain hundreds of fibres necessary to make the connections to each home. Our plans include anticipation that every home and business will be connected to Wightman Fibre, and we also have capacity for growth beyond what is necessary today. The different colours of the conduits help the installation crews easily identify what goes where.

Meier Boulevard, Willow Street, Tweedsmuir Place, Hickory Lane, Babb Crescent, Abbey Court, and Walsh Crescent.
