Your cheat sheet to popular fiber internet questions.
While Lumos does not offer student discounts, we do believe fast, reliable internet should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer 100% Fiber Optic Internet2 at as little as $50 per month.
Online learning includes reading digital course materials, attending video lectures and submitting large assignment files every day.

- 500 Mbps plan – Download a movie while streaming a live lecture at the same time.
- 1 Gig plan – Students in a large connected family can download a 2-hour webinar in just 37.9 seconds.

Distance learning is here to stay, and students need fast, reliable internet to keep up with their remote studies. Only fiber offers equally fast upload and download speeds to ensure they can stream lectures, video conference classmates or back up assignments to the cloud without frustrating data caps or throttling. Fiber also provides more bandwidth than cable, allowing your household to connect as many users and devices as you need (so there’ll be no slacking during group project collaborations). Make the switch to Lumos 100% Fiber Optic Internet2 to create a more efficient and productive online learning experience.
Yes, fiber internet offers higher security to remote students because of the way it transmits data. Traditional internet cables send electrical signals over copper wiring, which are vulnerable to electromagnetic interference (EMI) that pose security risks. However, fiber cables transmit light signals over thin glass tubes that do not generate EMI. This makes fiber data signals much harder for cybercriminals to intercept private information.
No, Lumos delivers equally fast upload and download speeds so students can dive into their online courses, research and assignments without worrying about throttling or hitting any data limits, ever.
With the rise of online learning, many rural students are being left behind due to limited access to a reliable home internet connection. At Lumos, we believe all learners deserve fast internet, no matter what size community they’re from. That’s why we’ve prioritized bringing 100% Fiber Optic Internet2 access to unserved and underserved rural households. We’re expediting network expansion, which involves the deployment of nearly 1,000 miles of fiber.
