What Brightspeed announced
- WiFi 7 is standard on every Brightspeed fiber plan, not only premium tiers
- New eligible fiber customers get WiFi 7 compatible equipment at no additional cost
- New customers don't need to take any extra steps
- Current customers can check eligibility in their Brightspeed account or by contacting Brightspeed
Why WiFi 7 matters at home
WiFi 7 is the newest generation of Wi-Fi. It's designed to handle many devices at once, so one person can stream in the living room while another games upstairs and someone else takes a video call. On a fast fiber line, the router is often the bottleneck, so a better router helps you actually see the speed you pay for. Older devices still connect; they just won't use every WiFi 7 feature.
