Fiber FAQs
One word: speed. If you want the fastest Internet possible, you need fiber. Other benefits include unlimited data; lower latency (or delay in data transfer); equal upload and download speeds; reliability; and increased property value for your home or business.
A Network Interface Device (NID) is the crucial component that connects your home or business to the Nuvera fiber network. This small, durable box (approximately 12” tall by 10” wide) is installed on the exterior of your property at no cost to you and serves as the termination point for the fiber drop cables. From the NID, your internet service is seamlessly delivered to the inside of your home or business.
A telecommunications pedestal is a metal or plastic box that grants access to underground fiber optic cable for technicians. A pedestal allows technicians to quickly and easily access fiber for splicing and other vital actions needed for implementing or repairing the connection to your home.
The Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is a key piece of equipment for fiber internet installation, acting as the crucial link between the fiber network and your home’s internal internet and phone systems. Comparable in size to a standard modem or router, the ONT is designed to convert the optical signal from the fiber cable into separate signals for internet and phone services. During installation, a Nuvera technician will place the ONT inside your home, near an existing electrical outlet as the ONT requires power to operate. Additionally, if your home already has existing internet service, the ONT is typically installed in the same area to utilize the current cabling for a smoother transition. This careful placement process ensures a reliable connection and seamless integration with your home or business network.
A mainline is the primary fiber cable that Nuvera installs to bring fiber internet to your area. This cable is buried in alleyways, utility spaces, or rights-of-way so it doesn’t usually disturb private property. Along the mainline, connection points called pedestal cabinets are installed, which can provide service to multiple locations nearby.
The cable that connects the customer’s house the mainline is called the drop cable. The drop cable is buried through the customer’s yard. To prevent digging up other utilities, our installation crew locates existing public services to the house. Homeowners are responsible for locating and marking private utilities such as dog fences and sprinkler systems.
In the majority of cases, customers are required to use a Nuvera modem. Our goal is to give you the best Internet experience possible, and our specially dedicated modem is part of the system that will achieve that goal.
No, the Nuvera modem does not deliver Wi-Fi and a separate router will be required. The router broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal, bringing the Internet to your devices. For an additional small monthly fee, Nuvera Home Wi-Fi can be implemented and managed in your home, taking the work out of managing and maintaining your home Wi-Fi setup. Add Nuvera IQ to Home Wi-Fi and you can customize your home network to your specific needs with just a few taps from your phone.
Fiber Internet affords benefits such as faster speeds, unlimited data; lower latency (or delay in data transfer); equal upload and download speeds; reliability; and increased property value for your home or business.
1 Gig is equal to 1000 Mbps. 8 Gig is the fastest Internet speed available.
Deciding how much speed is necessary for your household, ask the following questions: How many people use the Internet at the same time? How many devices are generally being used at the same time? What are those devices being used for – i.e. gaming, streaming, surfing? The more users and devices on the network, the faster the speed you will require for the best Internet experience. Visit our Bandwidth Estimator.
Nuvera will indicate in the right-of-ways where the fiber will be placed. Flags or paint markings will be placed. All public utilities in the construction areas will be marked by the respective utility company. Please do not remove any flags or paint markings. Flags will be removed after construction is complete and paint markings will fade on their own.
Nuvera will restore any disruption to your lawn/landscaping after fiber is buried to your home. This will be a two-part process:
- First step is to fill holes with sand, which allows time for settling before final restoration while making the construction area safe for children, pets, etc.
- Next step is for the contractor to return and complete the site restoration after construction is complete. This includes filling the impacted areas with black dirt/topsoil and grass seed.
Homeowners are responsible for locating and marking any private underground facilities such as: invisible fencing, irrigation lines, private power, etc. For more information, go to the Gopher State One Call website.
In the unlikely event that there is a significant disruption to your property, Nuvera guarantees the restoration of any landscaping, etc.
In order to take advantage of fiber Internet, you will need fiber equipment installed at your house. Nuvera’s crews and our construction partners will install all the equipment needed to implement fiber Internet in your home. If the equipment is installed during our construction phase, there is no charge to the property owner.
Installation of the fiber facilities and equipment will be free if done during our construction phase. Current customers are required to transition to our new fiber network and will be done at no charge.
It is best to have the fiber equipment installed when our crews are in your area. Service must be established within 60 days of becoming available or a $250 construction fee will be charged. If our crew does not install the fiber equipment at the same time as the rest of your neighborhood and you decide at some point in the future you want to move ahead with Nuvera high-speed fiber Internet, you can call our office and schedule a time for our crew to come back out and complete the line to your home. A $250 construction fee will apply or will be waived if you commit to a 2-year agreement.
