| If you have now | Moving to Kinetic Fiber gains | What the switch takes |
|---|---|---|
| Cable | Uploads that keep pace with downloads on the top tiers | An install visit and a short overlap of both services |
| Kinetic DSL | A large jump in speed if your address has fiber | An install visit to connect the fiber line |
| Mobile data only | A wired line, so phones and TVs stop sharing one mobile plan | Choosing a router and a place for it |
Plan the changeover with how to switch internet without downtime, and check whether a data cap applies to the plan you are leaving.
