SlyTel FAQs

What is the difference between speed and data?

Megabytes per second (Mbps) is the speed digital information is downloaded or uploaded to your device(s). Data is the amount of digital information downloaded or uploaded to your device(s).

What is a data cap and does SlyTel have one?

Data caps are limits of data used by the customer set by Internet providers. While many Internet providers have monthly data caps, SlyTel DOES NOT limit data usage. Use as much as data as you want with no restrictions.

How much speed do I need?

It depends on how you use the Internet. The Sly Net 300 works great for 1-5 devices, like TV’s, cell phones, computers, streaming at the same time and multi-player gaming. The Sly Net 500 is perfect for streaming on 5+ devices and multi-player gaming. The Sly Net 1 Gig is the gold standard for streaming on 20+ devices, pro-level gaming, and video conferencing.

What is a SlyPod Extender and how many do I need?

The SlyPod Extender extends Internet coverage throughout your home or business. Larger spaces may need more than one extender to optimize the service. The technician will do an assessment when he/she arrives at your home for installation and will make recommendations for the number of extenders you will need to optimize your service, if applicable.
