@erik_squires - surges over optical, I didn’t consider that.
A quick search on Amazon brought me to this. Is this what you are suggesting Eric? And where in the system do you put it?
Fiber Optic Internet
Ziply Fiber is a new internet provider that is coming to our area. I was wondering if any of you out there have had experience with their service or have used fiber optic internet with your systems?
I am putting together an all-digital front end and am currently with Comcast. At present, I have speeds of 100 Mbps upload and 5 Mbps download at $58 a month and I was going to optically isolate the signal from my router to my streamer with a set of fiber media converters (FMC), but I’m thinking that this kind of internet service would eliminate the need for the FMC’s? Sort of galvanic isolation all on its own.
Here is a link to their offerings. Which of their plans/speed do you think would be best if you think optical internet is a good option for streaming music? Thanks.

@yage - 20 Mbps, wow, that’s great. It’s only me streaming music, no gaming either. I prefer to be hard wired so possibly an isolator as Eric has suggested would do the trick. There has been some mention about the dependability of this particular company. I’ve also heard their customer service isn’t so great either. All stuff to consider as well. |
@mlsstl - opps, you are correct, I have the up & downloads speeds reversed! @soix - OK, that makes sense to me. @erik_squires - Thanks for the links to the isolators. My router/modem are a single unit and will be on the same shelf as my audio equipment. I'll purchase one and put it on the line between my router and my streamer. |
@sfseay - I renewed with Comcast for another year. I think I'll wait for some feedback from others who sign up with Ziply, but thanks for your feedback. |
@versitron - my mailbox at home is flooded with your promotional material and now I'm getting it on my Agon thread. I'll pass thanks! |
