RCNs Lehigh Valley High-Speed Internet Delivers the Fastest Speeds Available Today

Lehigh Valley, PA (PRWEB) September 09, 2011

Being fast, efficient and dependable is essential in todays hectic world. Shouldnt Internet connections be the same? The leading provider of high-speed Internet service in Lehigh Valley believes so. RCN uses the latest technology to deliver reliable broadband Internet service with speeds starting at 15Mbps, a connection thats 1.5 times faster than the fastest cable modem competitor, and up to 60 Mbps six times the speed of its closest competitor.

All of RCNs connection speeds are the fastest available in the market today, which means consumers can reliably and safely browse the Web with instant results, send the kids camp photos to grandma in a heartbeat and get essential documents to a client in record time. And theres no need to settle for a one-size-fits-all connection: RCN customers can tailor their online experience to their needs by selecting one of the three connection speeds available: 15Mbps, 25Mbps and 60Mbps. With connections this fast, music and video downloads take just seconds, gaming and telecommuting are seamless, and buffering pauses while watching videos or movies are eliminated. Even better, RCNs industry-leading speeds keep pace with busy modern families and bustling businesses, allowing multiple users to simultaneously connect to the Internet without the frustrating wait times or interruptions common to slower connection speeds. Which means mom can e-mail back and forth with work, dad can seamlessly stream his favorite films, and the kids can conquer their favorite video game all at the same time.

RCN delivers these lightning fast connections via its powerful fiber optic network, which allows the Lehigh Valley Internet provider to supply Internet speeds that redefine industry standards. Fiber optic technology transmits data over light waves; though fragile, the cables are less prone to interference and support greater bandwidth than metal wire, enabling them to carry more data over longer distances quickly and reliably. RCN was one of the first to use this technology, investing heavily to build an extensive, strong and reliable network designed to provide consumers with the fastest connection speeds and the best Internet experience. Although the technology is expensive to install, RCN does not pass the cost to its customers, a result of the companys dedication to delivering top-of-the-line service to Lehigh Valley consumers at the lowest rates. To save even more, RCN offers customers Lehigh Valley Broadband Internet bundles that provide high-speed Internet, phone and cable services for one affordable rate, conveniently delivered in one bill.
