A look from 2015 to now
Callabyte began with a goal of improving quality of life for our Callaway Electric members and surrounding rural communities by providing access to truly high-speed, affordable, reliable internet service today and in the future.
This started with an investment in technology that was considered 'future proof'. Our 100% fiber optic network sends data near the speed of light over fiber optic cable. The technology continues to be considered the ultimate option for the future. It is the most reliable, with there being no limit on speed possibilities, no data caps and no buffering struggles.
As we approach our 10-year anniversary, subscriber needs have certainly increased from 2015. Household smart devices are multiplying, streaming TV is increasingly popular, working or learning from home is the new normal, and gaming technology is rapidly advancing. All of these activities demand more bandwidth and an internet provider that is willing to deliver that bandwidth.
The good news is, our core network of 100% fiber optic cable allows us to meet subscriber needs with higher speed options. We have invested in hardware and software that works with our existing network to turn up the speed. What exactly does this mean? Callabyte launched 4 gig technology to our entire service area in 2024. It is being delivered via WiFi 6 technology, which optimizes network traffic and connectivity speeds.
The future is here - with 4 gigs of fiber internet speed now available in all Callabyte service areas.

You do not need to purchase a new router to use Callabyte Internet service.
The Callabyte Gigacenter provides wired and wireless access to the Internet for just about any device in your home (laptops, phones, tablets, smart TVs, gaming consoles, etc…). If you prefer to use your own router, that is an option as well.
Callabyte Internet is an unlimited service. There are no data caps.
Callabyte does not provide email services.
You can get a free email account from many different providers (Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Outlook.com, etc.).
Callabyte's internet packages include free Wi-Fi service. Our routers typically broadcast Wi-Fi signals well up to 50 feet in an average home. The signal will be increasingly less beyond 50 feet. (The range will depend somewhat on the thickness and building material of your walls and other obstructions.) For a large area, or if you have thick walls, you can buy a wireless range extender to boost your signal. Callabyte can sell or lease you a wireless extender to help reach the wireless voids in your home.
If you need help evaluating your coverage reach, the Callabyte tech team is here to help. Give us a call or email 573-826-2371 / info@callabyte.com and ask about our Wireless Extension Service.
Probably not. Most wireless devices are unable to fully utilize a 1 Gig connection therefore, a single wireless device with access to 4 times the bandwidth will likely show speedtest results exactly the same as on a 1 Gig connection.
Probably not. Or, maybe, it depends.
Today, most Ethernet devices have a physical throughput limitation of 1Gbps/1000Mbps. Likewise, the Callabyte Gigaspire router has 4 LAN ports, all limited to 1000M. For a single device, it is quite likely a wired device will see speedtest results comparable to 1G service. In the future, customer devices and Callabyte routers will see upgraded hardware allowing a single device to increase its throughput to either 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps. The WAN/Internet port on the Callabyte Gigaspire has a 10 Gbps Ethernet port allowing the full 4 Gig service to be delivered to the router.
The key benefit to 4 Gig service is about making service better for multiple devices in the home and not one single device. If your home has minimal devices accessing the Internet, there’s likely little benefit to a 4 Gig connection. On the other hand, if your home has dozens to hundreds of Internet devices all demanding bandwidth at once, each and every device will see an improved experience as more capacity is delivered to the home to be shared.
Little did we know we were making a service available that would challenge the speedtest sites in reporting correctly. This is a known issue and speedtest servers are diligently working to correct the reporting limitation.
If you have your own router and wireless access equipment, and want to connect to Callabyte at 10G (10Gbps physical link with 4Gbps service), contact our office and ask for a standalone ONT. Our GigaPoint GP1101X provides a 10G symmetrical interface to your network.
