What is Residential Internet?
With OMU Residential Internet, you get fast, reliable internet with the convenience and service of your local utility.
OMU Internet has several speed options to support the way your household uses the internet every day – from streaming movies and gaming to working from home, video calls, online learning, and connecting multiple devices at once.
Why does OMU offer Internet in addition to utility services?
OMU has operated and maintained a robust fiber-optic telecommunications network for more than 25 years.
As your local utility, we’re committed to providing reliable service at an economical price. Residential Internet allows us to bring the same local service and commitment to quality you’ve come to expect from OMU’s electric and water services to your internet connection.
What does 800 Mbps up and down mean?
800 Mbps means your Residential Internet service can deliver speeds of up to 800 megabits per second (Mbps) for both downloading and uploading.
Download speed is how quickly information comes to your home—for example, streaming a movie, browsing websites, downloading files or playing online games.
Upload speed is how quickly information travels from your home to the internet—for example, sending photos and videos, backing up files, participating in video calls or sharing content online.
Having 800 Mbps both up and down provides a fast, reliable connection for multiple people and devices to stream, work, learn, game and connect at the same time.
Actual speeds may vary depending on your equipment, Wi-Fi connection and other factors within your home.
Is there a fee for installation?
Yes, there is a one-time installation fee of $49.99 which includes all equipment needed for connection.
Will I need a router?
OMU will provide the router needed to connect your home.
