Wondering how fast your internet really is?
Test your speed
gigFAST® internet services with no contract!
Find your freedom
RTA does not believe in long term contracts. Everyone should have freedom of choice.
Unlike many of our competitors, RTA does NOT have any caps or excess data fees. We believe in one price and no limits…..surf and stream as much as you can.
We recommend to review the FCC Broadband Speed Guide to determine your usage needs. This guide is per device at any given instance. For example:
8pm and the family is home from work and finished dinner: 2 TV’s watching Streaming TV app = 2 x 8Mbbs (HD video streaming) = 16Mbps
1 Gaming = 1 x 4Mbps (online multiplayer) = 20Mbps
Your home broadband speed requirement would be a gigFAST INTERNET plan that offers at least 20Mbps of download speed.
These speed suggestions are per device that will be on the internet at the same time.
