Question Why do I need faster Internet speed? Such as the fiber optic now going in my area....

In our area - and in fact right now on my property - a new company is installing fiber optic.

Wire 3 - based in Daytona Beach.

Special offer during construction: 10 Gbps & free installation @ $60/month for the first two years. After that cost is structured by speed.

I've always had cable for Internet here and for the most part over the 25 years I've been at this location it's been fine for my needs (computer, TV, and voice).

I even bought an Amazon fire device and have been streaming the last 2 years with no issues.

My current monthly cost is $160/month.

This new company does not offer any TV service (cable box, etc.) - just Internet.

To be honest - I love having the cable TV for it's ease of use. Streaming is OK but takes more work to go from program to program. Menus to sift through. I can do the navigation but with the cable I just hit a button and boom.

I don't game at all.

Why would fiber optic be a benefit for my situation?

Thanks for your input!
