The future is now. Or, at least, that’s what Santa Barbara internet provider Cox Communications is trying to do with its new high-speed internet plan, G1GABLAST.

Representatives at the Cox Smart Home preview on October 10, which took place at Goleta’s Village at Los Carneros , showed off smart-home favorites like virtual reality headsets and Amazon Echo. On G1GABLAST, users can use at one time any number of smart-home devices and electronics requiring Internet connectivity — all without compromising speed or stability.

Ryland Madison, the director of product marketing at Cox Communications, said buyers will experience speeds up to 100 times faster than the average speed in the U.S.
