The time it takes to activate your Phonoscope Fiber service can vary depending on a number of factors, such as your location and whether new fiber infrastructure needs to be installed at your premises. We always aim to get you up and running as quickly as possible, but we also want to ensure the service is set up correctly for the best experience. Please contact our customer service team with your specific information for a more detailed estimate. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

At Phonoscope Fiber, we prioritize giving our customers the flexibility to choose the best equipment for their specific needs. WiFi needs can vary greatly based on the size of the home, number of devices, and specific usage requirements. By not including a specific router with our service, we enable our customers to select a router that fits their individual needs and preferences, whether that's a basic model or a high-end router with advanced features. This approach ensures the best possible internet experience for every user. As always, our support team is more than happy to provide guidance and recommendations for choosing the right hardware. See our router recommendations.
While we understand that any additional fees can be a concern, our one-time activation fee helps cover the costs associated with setting up new services, including equipment and labor. Unfortunately, we are unable to waive this fee. We appreciate your understanding and assure you that we strive to provide the best value for our services.
At Phonoscope Fiber, we periodically offer special promotions for new and existing customers. However, we do not have standard ongoing discounts such as for seniors or military personnel. Our prices are carefully set to offer all customers the best value possible for our high-quality, reliable services. Thank you for your understanding.

We hand off a 10/100/1000Mbps [TS2] CAT5, CAT6, or fiber full-duplex Ethernet connection to customers. If this is a private point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection, you use your own IP addresses, as we will be transparent to your networks. If this is an Internet connection, we will assign public IP addresses and work with you to determine the most effective way to utilize the link.
After you sign a Master Service Agreement and a Service Order, we assign a dedicated Project Manager (PM) to your account. Your PM will email you an implementation activity schedule and coordinate the installation with you. Your PM is always readily available to answer any questions during the process. Depending on your requirements, we will drop 2 CAT5/ 2 optical fiber or install a data switch. We begin billing once service is activated
Our Houston area metro network offers over 4,000 fiber route miles, over 200 rings for redundancy, and Layer 2 and Optical Wavelength infrastructure for 20Tbps capacity featuring full IPv6 support. View our network footprint.
Phonoscope will provide you with public IP addresses if you order internet service. You will receive an IP Justification (IPJ) Form. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) requires a written justification to demonstrate that we are using IP allocations efficiently.
