Wi-Fi Speeds You Can Expect With C Spire Fiber

We strongly recommend subscribing to C Spire Mesh Wi-Fi if you are interested in getting the best Wi-Fi speeds and coverage for your home. C Spire Fiber delivers top internet speeds for your selected package. The actual speed your wireless device can achieve is influenced by several factors including:
  • Date of manufacture
  • Distance between device and access point
  • Number and makeup of any obstructions (walls, pipes, brick, etc.) between device and access point
  • Device characteristics, such as the number of radios (e.g., dual-band, tri-band, etc.) and the Wi-Fi standard (e.g., 802.11n, 802.11ac, etc.) device is capable of supporting
  • Number of devices connected to Wi-Fi
