| About Us |
Powerband Internet is an Internet Service Provider based out of Fresno, California. “Powerband Technology” was originally created to fix today’s limitations on highspeed internet. The idea behind Powerband was that normal highspeed internet providers could not provide broadband to rural users which is why 70% of users around the world still connect to the internet via dialup. Powerband was the solution not only for highspeed internet users but also the remaining 70% of internet users that until today had no other options but dial up. As internet applications such as streaming movies, music, and games continue to grow the need for a faster internet connection was needed. The answer came from an 18 year old, Mike Pronovost, CEO of Powerband Internet.
Pronovost over the summer of his freshman year of college diagramed the internet structurally and found the low and high parts of the internet. He concluded by implementing the technology that he had diagramed he hypothesized that not only would internet speeds be faster than fiber-optics but it would surpass speeds faster than 6gbps, the previous world record for the fastest internet, called “Internet 2” which was created by a network of students at Ivy league colleges.
Powerband officially became the world’s fastest internet connection in September of 2008 and it nearly doubled the previous record set by Internet 2 with speeds of almost 12gbps!
Powerband Technology didn’t just open the door to new internet speeds but also to rural users whom were stuck with dialup speeds since the beginning of time. Powerband is the only internet technology that has the ability to hit these speeds regardless of location. It was also the first ISP to offer internet everywhere the user went: the desktop, notebook, mobile phone, or any wifi device.
The goal was simple for Powerband, make it the fastest internet in the world and make it affordable for everyone! |
