Future-proof

As more apps, smart tech and connected services are built for 5 gigabit speed, like AR shopping and health monitoring tools, you’ll be ready.

Your Local Installation Process

Mercury’s trained local team provides convenient, free installation so you can start streaming without delay.

Your installation begins with a quick walkthrough of your property to identify the ideal spots for equipment placement to achieve maximum coverage.

Next, our team connects your home to Mercury’s fiber network by running fiber lines to a utility box outside, then linking them to an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) inside. This device is the hub that powers your high-speed connection.

Once everything is in place, the technician conducts a complete performance test to confirm that your fiber internet runs smoothly. We’ll also walk you through setting up the Mercury @ Home app on your smartphone to customize your Wi-Fi experience, access support and install parental controls.

Equipment Requirements for Ultra-Fast Speeds

As part of the installation process, Mercury will provide you with a multi-gig capable ONT to convert the fiber signal into something your router can use and Cat6a or Cat 7 ethernet cables. Wired connections are recommended to take advantage of true 5 Gig performance. Many modern motherboards now ship with 2.5G ports, but for full 5-gigabit speeds, a special network interface card is required.

A Wi-Fi 6–enabled Momentum Blast router also comes standard with your service. These routers are commercial-grade and designed to handle multiple devices with strong coverage across the home. Large homes may need to add a Wi-Fi extender to avoid dead zones. Mercury’s Whole Home Wi-Fi program ensures Wi-Fi is available in every room.

Get More With Mercury 5 Gig Fiber Internet

Mercury offers a variety of plans and pricing options to explore. With no data caps, no term commitments and free installation, Mercury customers only pay for what they need.

Every 5 Gig fiber plan includes our Tech Assurance Plan, covering up to $500 per year for accidental damage to Mercury equipment or cabling, plus service calls for equipment or connectivity issues. The plan also features advanced cybersecurity measures, allowing you to set parental controls and other security features.

Larger homes benefit from Mercury’s Whole-Home Fiber Add-On. Mesh extenders eliminate dead zones and can improve connectivity on your patio or in your backyard.

Mercury is proud to serve customers in the country’s interior. Technical assistance is only a phone call away. You can also turn to the Mercury @ Home App to troubleshoot concerns.

Placed order on Friday, install the next day. Ethan, the technician, was very knowledgeable and did a great job. I had another company come out the day before, and their tech was clueless, and there wasn't any way I was letting him start drilling holes in my walls.
