Common questions about Astound Broadband

How do I check if Astound Broadband is available at my address?
Astound Broadband is built out address by address, so a coverage map will not answer the question for a specific home — two houses on the same street can get different answers.

It is free and there is no obligation.
Is Astound Broadband fiber or cable?
Astound Broadband is cable, not fiber to the home. Its network uses fiber for the long-haul portion and coaxial cable for the final run into the property — the industry calls this hybrid fiber-coaxial.
