Viewing the Broadband Facts Label | Above are our broadband labels for our available business internet plans. |
Why OEC Fiber is implementing a Broadband Facts Label. | - The Broadband Facts Label is an FCC requirement, and it also aligns with OEC Fiber’s commitment to transparency about our pricing.

- OEC Fiber’s download and upload speeds are based on internal tests and reflect the wired speeds that our network typically delivers to your business modem, router, or gateway device.
- Actual speeds are impacted by many factors and may vary. For more info see “Impacts to speed” below.
|
Latency and how it is measured | - Latency is the delay between action and response. For example, the time between pressing a command on your controller during an online game and the character responding to that command.
- Used mostly in online gaming sessions, high latency or lag can result in glitches, low frame rates and overall poor performance.
- Latency is measured in milliseconds (ms) and is generally affected by the distance between the router and the server.
- The latency displayed on the Broadband Facts Label is typical, though it may vary.
|
Consistency of speeds displayed on the Broadband Facts Label | OEC Fiber allocates more bandwidth than advertised to provide the best experience for our customers, even during times when there may be network congestion. |
Not receiving typical speeds on mobile devices | Mobile Wi-Fi speeds can vary based on many factors including device models and age of devices. |
Definition of download and upload speed | - Download speed measures how fast information can transfer to you over the internet. Download speed impacts how long it takes to download large files, update games or show pages with lots of photos.
- Upload speed measures how fast outgoing information can transfer from you over the internet. For example, how fast you can upload files or how long it takes to add attachments to emails is a result of upload speed.

| The prices and discounts we offer are based on the subscriber agreeing to use our service for the full contract term. If we end your service for specific reasons or if you cancel the service without a valid reason, you will have to pay a fee. This fee will be equal to the total monthly charges for the rest of the contract term. This amount is considered a set fee for ending the contract early and not a penalty.
