LightStream Announces Faster Fiber Internet Speeds

Gigabit Internet Available for Buffalo, Monticello, Pulaski, Star City and Winamac

Delivering high speed internet to hard to reach places.

The landscape of broadband Internet has changed dramatically. An increase in connected devices, streaming video services, and number of users has resulted in a need for more bandwidth. LightStream is excited to deliver faster Internet speeds to our fiber communities in Buffalo, Monticello, Pulaski, Star City, and Winamac. Effective August 1, residential customers have been converted to our new plans:

  • Starter: 100 Megabits per second (Mbps)
  • Family: 500 Mbps
  • Gigabit: 1,000 Mbps

Business customers will be contacted over the coming months to discuss what is best for their organization and will have an additional option of 25 Mbps.

Why the Faster Speeds?

In order to capture the needs of today, as well as tomorrow, our fiber-optic network is being maximized at up to gigabit speeds, or 1000 Mbps. More users and devices require faster speeds to function properly without buffering. A network runs better when its traffic moves faster, and our fiber is the most reliable connection in town.

What Else? Introducing Managed WiFi

Our new Managed WiFi offering is a powerful service that provides superior WiFi performance and coverage throughout your home. Research shows that too many broadband customers experience WiFi issues.
