Fiber Optic Internet

Ziply Fiber is a new internet provider that is coming to our area. I was wondering if any of you out there have had experience with their service or have used fiber optic internet with your systems?

I am putting together an all-digital front end and am currently with Comcast. At present, I have speeds of 100 Mbps upload and 5 Mbps download at $58 a month and I was going to optically isolate the signal from my router to my streamer with a set of fiber media converters (FMC), but I’m thinking that this kind of internet service would eliminate the need for the FMC’s? Sort of galvanic isolation all on its own.

Here is a link to their offerings. Which of their plans/speed do you think would be best if you think optical internet is a good option for streaming music? Thanks.

Just having fiber internet service does not obviate the need for further isolation downstream.  You’ll still need to deal with noise from the router, etc.  We switched from Fios (fiber) to T-Mobile because the former was way too expensive and the latter was offering 1-gig speed for only $50/month and we’ve been very happy and don’t miss Fios one bit.  FWIW.
