HFC

Hybrid Fibre Coaxial

Fibre to a node in your street, then the existing coaxial cable that once carried pay TV into the house.

How it reaches your home

Fibre runs to a small node nearby and the last stretch uses the coaxial cable already installed for cable television. A network termination device inside the premises connects to it.

What to expect

Carries high speeds, close to what fibre offers at the top tiers. The coaxial segment is shared with nearby premises, so busy-period performance depends partly on how loaded that segment is.

Speeds you can order on HFC

These are the tiers Ripple sells on HFC, from $60.90/month. Each tier page shows the price, the typical busy-period speeds and how it compares with the major providers.
