What is the difference between fiber and satellite?
Gearheart Fiber Internet
By the Numbers
- Offers blazing-fast symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) sometimes even up to 2 Gbps in select areas
- Pricing in Pikeville starts at around $64.95/month for 200 Mbps and scales up to ~$115/month for 1 Gig/1 Gig service
- Includes features like managed Wi‑Fi‑6e pods, virus protection, generous or even unlimited data caps, and 24/7 support
- Boasts low latency, high reliability, and near-perfect uptime supported by resilient fiber‑optic infrastructure
Satellite Internet
Overview & Limitations
- Provides nearly universal availability, including remote and rural areas where fiber may not reach
- Speeds typically range from 25 Mbps to 200 Mbps, though variations exist depending on provider
- Much higher latency, especially for geostationary satellite systems (upwards of 500–700 ms round-trip)—LEO systems like Starlink can improve this to around 45 ms, but still tend to lag behind fiber
- Service can be affected by weather conditions—such as rain or snow disrupting the connection
- Often higher monthly costs, averaging between $50 to $150/month, sometimes with additional fees for hardware or mobility
If you’re in Gearheart Fiber service territory, opting for fiber delivers unmatched speed, reliability, and value especially with included managed Wi‑Fi and support. However, for locations outside that reach, satellite remains the fallback option, albeit with compromises on latency, reliability, and cost.

Which speeds is right for me?
We offer broadband service options to fit all needs and budgets
The term refers to how fast data—like a Netflix movie— cam travel into your home. “Bits” of data are very small, speed is usually measured in megabits, or millions of bits, per second (Mbps). Our services can send data at a gigabit per second (Gbps, or a billion bits per second).
Almost any internet speed is fine for receiving a text-only email, and you may need only 1 Mbps to listen to a Spotify song. However, you need as much as 25 Mbps to watch a 4K movie.
Bandwidth is closely related to speed; it reflects the amount of speed available for you to use. Your whole household will share whatever internet speed you have. So if two TVs in your home are each streaming 4K movies, you need at least 50 Mbps of bandwidth for just those 2 devices.
It’s easy to underestimate how many devices are using your home internet connection. Many of us switch from cellular service to home WIFI when using our cell phones in the house. You may also have multiple laptops, smart TVs, smart speakers, smart thermostats, video doorbells, gaming consoles, and tablets. All those devices share the same bandwidth when they connect to the internet.
In addition to the amount of users and devices connected, the services being used can greatly differ in how much bandwidth they require. Streaming HD video for example uses much more data than checking email or web surfing.
Most people think about only download speeds, or how fast videos and web pages arrive in their homes. However, upload speeds are also important because they affect video calls, including both teleconferencing calls with work and video chats with family and friends.
Check Your Internet Speed
Are you a internet power user? Do you have multiple users or connected devices in your home. These all use data while active. Supersize your data with Data XL Unlimited.
