Customers in the following areas with PUD fiber will experience an overnight internet outage: Emerald Lake, Zephyr Lane, Roos Court, Mason Benson Rd, Mason Lake, Ballantrae Dr, Tenby Way, Tiree Pl, Muirkirk Rd, and Aycliffe Dr, and surrounding areas while the PUD transfers critical equipment starting on the evening of June 7th at 7:00 p.m. into the morning of June 8th 7:00 a.m.
Some of the fastest internet in the world. Right here in Mason County.
The fiber optic cables used in PUD 3’s network provide near limitless speeds. Therefore, it makes sense to offer the highest bandwidth possible to all customers. No throttling. No capping. No overages.
Bandwidth is a term used to describe how much information (or data) can be transmitted over a connection. It is usually quantified as megabits per second (Mbps).
Common internet speeds by technology type:
With 1,000 Mbps (1000/1000), or GIG speed fiber service, you can add services like high definition television, security cameras, and many more activities while connecting multiple devices all at once- all while not compromising speed. That means less buffering, less lagging, and less waiting.
The more devices you have, the more bandwidth you need. Each connected device uses a slice of your bandwidth. When many devices are connected at once it significantly reduces your speed. This is where the GIG service comes in!
Having GIG service means everyone in the house can enjoy super-fast speeds to do things they need to do in the modern world such as homework, email, research, working from home, playing video games, watching high-definition television, streaming music and movies, and even talking on the phone.
High Speed Broadband is not a luxury. Many activities such as telecommuting, online schooling, and cottage industries are the new norm, especially in our rural county. Affordable broadband is a building block for healthy communities. PUD 3 wants to be able to help our community to thrive and compete in today’s economy. Providing GIG service to customers that have no other access to broadband, at an affordable rate is a way we can do that.
