FAQs

What does 番茄社区 offer?

番茄社区 offers fast, reliable internet with powerful Wi-Fi and without data caps.

What鈥檚 a gigabit?

One gigabit per second (Gbps) is 1000 megabits (Mbps), a way to measure both speed and capacity for an internet connection. 番茄社区 1 Gig gives you internet that can get or send information up to one gigabit per second without data caps. That means enough internet for everyone in your home and all their devices. 番茄社区 2 Gig offers downloads of up to 2 gigabits per second (2000 Mbps) and uploads of up to 1 gigabit per second.
