KUB Smart Gig vs Your Own Router: What is Right for Your Home?

You’ve seen the ads. Maybe your neighbor’s been raving about their blazing-fast internet. Now you're ready to join the KUB Fiber family — and we’re excited to have you! But before installation day arrives, there’s just one question left:
Should you choose KUB Smart Gig or use your own router for KUB Fiber internet service?
Let’s walk through both options by introducing you to two customers who chose what worked best for them.

Meet Sally: Why She Chose KUB Smart Gig

Sally is a busy mom of two — always on the go with school drop-offs, sports practice, and helping with homework. While she uses the internet every day, she wouldn’t call herself “techy.” She just wants something easy, reliable, and safe for her family.

That’s why Sally chose KUB Smart Gig for just $15/month. Here’s why it works for her:

✅ Premium WiFi 6 Router: KUB provides a top-tier router that delivers gig-speed performance.
✅ Free In-Home Support: If Sally ever needs help, a KUB technician comes out — at no extra charge.
✅ Parental Controls: She can set limits, block sites, and protect her kids online.
✅ Easy-to-Use App: With the Plume Home app, she can check speeds, see what devices are connected, and even pause the internet during dinner.

If you value simplicity, family safety, and hands-off management like Sally, Smart Gig is the way to go.

Meet Roger: Why He Uses His Own Router

Roger lives solo and works remotely in IT. He’s comfortable tweaking his own tech setup, likes to customize his home network, and isn’t afraid of diving into router settings.

So, when Roger signed up for KUB Fiber, he brought his own WiFi 6 router. He liked having control — and saving a bit of money each month.

With the own-router option, here’s what Roger gets:

Tech Help at Setup: KUB technicians help connect his router during installation.
You Manage Your Router: Roger handles updates, settings, and troubleshooting himself.
Support for Bigger Issues: If there's a problem with the connection or fiber equipment, KUB techs still provide in-person service at no charge.

If you're confident managing your own tech and want to use a router you already own or choose your own brand — this is your route.
