Blue Ridge Modem
Included FREE with Service
The best internet connections deserve the best equipment, so we’ve adopted DOCSIS® 3.1 modems capable of delivering data speeds up to ten times faster than DOCSIS® 3.0 gear. Our modems use your existing cable wire to offer gigabit speeds. In our Fiber-to-the-Home areas, we install a PON modem included with service to provide symmetrical internet speeds.
