Fiber-to-the-parcel internet is the fastest and most advanced, reliable internet technology available.

All fiber internet plans include speeds of at least 100 Mbps, with speeds up to 1 Gbps available. FPUAnet also offers enterprise services with speeds up to 10 Gbps.

Fiber offers a number of advantages over traditional copper-based internet, including:
- Faster speeds: Fiber internet can deliver speeds of up to 1 Gbps, which is significantly faster than traditional copper-based internet.
- More reliable service: Fiber internet is less susceptible to outages and slowdowns than traditional copper-based internet.
- Lower latency: Fiber internet has lower latency, which means that there is less delay between sending and receiving data. This is important for activities such as online gaming and video streaming.
Fiber internet is also more scalable than traditional copper-based internet, which means that it can easily handle the increasing demands of internet usage, an important benefit while Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County are growing rapidly.
