HFNs Network Upgrade What It Means for You

Issaquah, WALocal News

Highlands Fiber Network (HFN) upgrades its fiber infrastructure, increasing internet speeds by 2. 5 times at no extra cost to residents. The transition from a switched to a routed network enhances performance, scalability, and security, allowing each home to have a direct path to the internet. This change significantly reduces downtime while ensuring more consistent speeds and better security. Extensive upgrades include new fiber deployment, advanced data center electronics, and high-performance routers that support Wi-Fi 7 and multi-gig speeds.

HFN has initiated a soft launch of the upgrade process, allowing for testing before a broader rollout. The upgrades will be implemented section by section, aiming to minimize disruptions for users. The project reflects HFN's commitment to providing a robust network that meets current and future internet needs. Residents can expect regular updates on the network upgrade through HFN's website and social media.
