How your internet gets to you

We deliver internet three ways, depending on where you live. Here's the trip each one takes from our network to your living room.

Cable Fiber to the home Next Generation Fixed Wireless

Cable

How cable internet gets to you: the internet reaches the Reach Broadband network headend, high-speed fiber carries it to an RPHY node in your neighborhood, and coaxial cable brings it the last stretch to your home.

Step by step

  1. Internet access. We connect to the global internet through high-capacity providers.
  2. Fiber to our network. High-speed fiber brings that internet to our local network hub in Odessa, called the headend.
  3. The node in your area. From there, fiber runs to an RPHY (Remote PHY) node in your neighborhood. The node turns the fiber signal into a high-performance cable signal close to your home.
  4. The last stretch. The signal travels the rest of the way over our HFC (Hybrid Fiber-Coax) network, a combination of fiber and coaxial cable.
  5. Your connection. You get the internet on the devices you use every day: streaming, gaming, working, and more.

The result: Speeds up to 1 Gig (1,000 Mbps), with no contracts and no data caps.

Fiber to the home

How fiber internet gets to your home: our fiber network carries internet to select areas of West Odessa, runs through the neighborhood, and a fiber line comes directly to your home and connects to a router inside.
