Internet from TDS comes in a wide variety of types and speeds. TDS internet plans are well designed to take care of a range of customer needs. From die-hard streamers and hard-core gamers to light and basic usage, TDS Telecom Internet has a plan for everyone!
TDS Telecom is a versatile service provider. Its largest footprint across America takes shape with a DSL network. But, that is not the only internet technology TDS uses. The entire variety of internet connection types is available depending on which region you are in.
High-speed and the slower traditional version of DSL from TDS connects countless rural and suburban communities. Cable broadband from the provider is also within the reach of over 500,000 people. But, with changing times TDS is focused on fast spreading its fiber optic network. This diversity of connection types allows TDS internet service to offer a wide range of download speeds at competitive prices.For users, who stay within a basic to light usage range, Mach Internet 25 Mbps, Turbo Internet 15 Mbps, Express Internet 5 Mbps and Lite Internet 1 Mbps are on the TDS internet menu. The variation in speeds is owing to network capability and the distance between the network and customer’s location. So in some more remote locations you may be able to access traditional DSL speeds up to 5 Mbps. But, in other areas you will get higher speeds up to 25 Mbps—cable or DSL broadband.
For the urban lifestyle fiber fast speeds are the order of the day. And, TDS complies with that consumer demand. TDS Fiber internet plans also come with a variety of speeds. Extreme25, 50, 300, 600 and 1 Gig Fiber tiers are designed to take care of moderate to extravagant internet usage.
The one thing that is of key importance for all internet consumers is data allowance. The industry norms vary from one provider to another. A few are known to offer unlimited data as a policy, others don’t, while some others do both things depending on the plan. TDS internet service gives unlimited data across the range of Fiber and Cable broadband plans where available. But, DSL residential plans come with a 250GB data allowance. Not bad, considering that is equivalent to 125 hours of HD streaming!
Working from home, or attending school from home? Need it for streaming your TV favorites to relax in solitude? Want to connect your entire family along with smart devices? Or you just need to email and browse the web? TDS Telecom Internet makes sure everyone is taken care of. Here take a look at what TDS DSL and Fiber plans can do for you.
