What does this mean for our customers? It means blazing fast downloads and uploads. Super easy video streaming, and faster web loading. Some of our customers have equipment that will need to be updated. If you own your own equipment, now would be the time to look into upgrading. If you rent a modem from Tel-Star, simply contact us to schedule an appointment for us to swap out the rental unit you have.  Here is an article from Jessica Sims at High Speed Experts to explain DOCSIS.
