Yes! At a minimum, your installation will include a Network Box with 1 Gbps ethernet ports. It may also include integrated Wi-Fi and higher speed ethernet ports. You can request a Wi-Fi access point from Optico Fiber or you can use your own preferred Wi-Fi access point.

Things to remember. Homes which are built with dividing walls in reinforced cement will cause the WiFi signal to degrade, and you may need to install repeaters around your home

No. Wi-Fi is slower than wired connections. However, for the fastest speeds, we recommend WiFi6 (or higher). The maximum speed via WiFi will also be depended on the WiFi technology that your computer(s) and device(s) have.

Multi-Gigabit services are not only about faster speeds, but about the Multi-Gigabit experience – the overall improvements you will see within your home network of interconnected devices.

While its not required, you can enjoy the fastest speeds of gigabit broadband with a computer, laptop or device that supports a gigabit connection.

And, while its not required, you can enjoy the fastest speeds of Multi-Gigabit XGS services by using a computer, laptop or device that supports Multi-Gigabit services, such as using a 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps Ethernet Network Interface Port

Definitely! The Optico Fiber Network Box can adapt to computers that can only connect to 100Mb, or even 10Mbps!

Optico Fiber was built to support leading industry standards and should work with devices you have today. If, you experience a problem, contact us at support@opticofiber.com or 787-597-6000.

Each apartment building and/or condominium has its own governing board (Junta de Condomines). The governing board needs to sign an access agreement with Optico Fiber, giving us access to the property.

Additionally, the installation & build-out requirements per structure differ from building to building. A cost assessment needs to be completed so we can establish the actual construction fee to each building. We'lldo this by visiting your building and creating a detailed description of the site conditions & installation requirements. Think of each apartment building and/or condominium as a Fiberhood with particular requirements.

All fiberhoods are different. They vary in physical size, number of households, density, as well as speed and ease of Optico Fiber construction. For example, houses that are spread out require more time, fiber and labor, and therefore can be more difficult to connect than homes in a denser environment. In those fiberhoods that are more complicated to build, we need to make sure that enough residents want Optico Fiber. We looked at all of these factors when setting each fiberhood’s sign-up goal.

When you sign up, you will select your service plan. To learn more about our plans, visit www.opticofiber.com

If you building has more than 8 units, your landlord or property manager will need to sign an access agreement with Optico Fiber before we can bring you service. You can help by directing them to our website www.opticofiber.com , providing our Customer Service number 787-957-6000 and encouraging them to bring Optico Fiber to your location.

If the apartment building has more than 8 units, we typically need a contract with the property manager before we can bring Optico Fiber to the building. If your property manager or HOA signs an access agreement, we'llcount every unit towards the sign-up goal. This means individual sign-ups by tenants won’t count since we’ve already included the units based on the contract.

Yes! We’re giving residents in your fiberhood another chance to tell us you want Optico Fiber. Please visit www.opticofiber.com to check the status of your fiberhood and sign up.

Our installers will go over all the details with you when they arrive to make sure you’re comfortable with exactly what is being installed and where. Please check out our installations video which explains the Optico Fiber installation process.

Here is a summary of the basic installation setup:

Before your installation day, we'll be working outside in your fiberhood, getting Optico Fiber ready to bring to homes. We'll be stringing Fiber on utility poles and in some cases installing it into the ground.

Next, we'll bring the Optico Fiber connection from the street to the side of your house. This will happen before your scheduled installation appointment. Before we go to the side of your house, we will knock on your door to let you know.

Once we have delivered the fiber to the side of your house, we'll contact you to schedule your installation.

On installation day, the first step will be to drill a small hole in your exterior wall to bring the fiber inside. We will cover the hole with a mounted wall plate and connect the fiber to your Network Box. The Network Box is your Optico Fiber router, enabling connectivity to devices throughout your house.

Before we start, our installer will work with you to determine the best location for your devices, and you’ll get to pick where it should go (within reason).

If you have requested other features installed, like WiFi Access Point and/or Telephone service, the final installation step will include installing devices.

Optico Fiber's service plans include a Network Box, which will provide Gigabit Ethernet wired ports for connectivity.

Not at this time.

Our services include a basic installation. If you request or if the service requires additional/special installation there is an additional cost. This will be quoted and you will have to approve the additional cost.

Optico Fiber owns the equipment. Following your cancellation, please give us at least 5 days to schedule a convenient time for equipment pickup or you may drop it off at our office location. Please get in touch with us for detailed instructions on safely and properly disconnecting the equipment. Do not cut the fiber, as this poses a risk of injury.

See the Subscriber Agreement for more details. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call: 787-957-6000 or email us at optico@opticofiber.com.

I am renting a single family home. You mention I needed permission from my landlord to get Fiber. What should I do?

If you rent a single family home, it is your responsibility to get permission from your landlord. This could be a letter or verbal permission. Once you have that, go ahead & sign up for Optico Fiber.

My landlord already signed up my property for Optico Fiber. Do I need to do anything?

Yes! Even though a Fiber drop will be installed into your unit, you still have to choose your plan to activate your connection and become an Optico Fiber subscriber. This means selecting a plan (Basic Internet, Gigabit service, or Gigabit + Phone ) and agreeing to the terms and conditions and subscriber agreement of Optico service.

Thanks for your interest. We’d love to talk with you about Optico Fiber for your building. Please contact us and we can give you more details about the agreement that we would need in place to bring Optico Fiber to your building.

Optico Fiber believes in bringing people and communities together using technology. The web becomes a better place as each of us joins together to learn, share, collaborate, and contribute. That’s why we are committed to bringing Optico Fiber to selected local community sites.

Community Connections may include public and non-profit organizations which are chosen by Optico Fiber to receive gigabit Optico Fiber connectivity at no cost. For example, we may choose schools, libraries, community centers, and other public facilities.

Find out if your fiberhood has a local Community Connection by entering your address on our Cities page.

A community connection will include the following: Gigabit service. All Community Connections will be equipped with a symmetric gigabit Internet connection (up to 1 Gbps upload and 1 Gbps download) over Optico Fiber’s network. Dedicated Support. We have dedicated phone support available, along with email and chat support. For any issues with Community Connections, we will provide a next business day on-site response, as necessary. We know the community is relying on your Internet connection, and we're here to support you.

Service Demarcation. As a Community Connection site, you will get one Network Box for your service demarcation

Commercially Reasonable Construction. Optico Fiber will cover the cost of commercially reasonable construction and installation expenses. Two factors are considered to determine if construction is commercially reasonable:

o The location of the site relative to the Optico Fiber network

o The work that must be done on-site to route Optico Fiber to the site's preferred demarcation

If construction is required beyond what Optico Fiber deems commercially reasonable, construction will be completed at the site's expense.

o Optico Fiber will focus on non-profit organizations which are offering services to the public. Community colleges, K12 schools, libraries, health care facilities, government facilities, social service providers, and public recreation centers are among some of those sites which could be considered a Community Connection site.

o Optico Fiber will consider feedback we receive from the community – including the municipality, urbanization, and residents themselves.

o Potential Community Connection sites should demonstrate the following to us:

o Explain how the site will use Gigabit service access to benefit the community it serves.

o Explain what new and exciting uses will be given to the Gigabit service at the site

o Explain how the Optico Fiber connection will also help the expansion and adoption of broadband by residents in the area.

The extremely short but incomplete answer is 9.6Gbps. The real answer: this is a theoretical maximum that you are unlikely to reach in real-world WiFi use. WiFi 6 isn’t just about the top speeds but about boosting speeds to each device and improving the overall network performance.

There are many ways:

1. Reduce your distance from the access point.

2. Physical interference. Concrete walls with metal rebar will prevent WiFi signals from passing through the wall. Do not put your WiFi access point within any furniture as it can block the signal. Do not put your WiFi access point near water (such as an aquarium) which will cause interference.

3. The signal from nearby wireless networks can impact the performance on your network. Using WiFi6 will help with outside interference.

4. Make sure your ethernet cable and any hubs/switches which connect your WiFi access point to your Network Box are at least Cat-5E or higher and that they are functioning.

5. Upgrade devices (computer, laptops, tablets, SmartTV, etc) to WiFi6 technology.

Due to the construction of homes in Puerto Rico, its nearly impossible for a single access point to provide good coverage throughout an entire home. You may need to install additional WiFi access points in various locations of your home.

Yes! WiFi6 is not only faster, but it also has enhanced security, better performance in dense environments with multiple devices, and improved power efficiency.WiFi6’s WPA3 protocol makes it harder for hackers to crack your wireless password. Some devices with WiFi6 can improve their battery life because of a feature called Target Wake Time. WiFi6 also functions better in areas with outside WiFi network interference.
