When it comes to streaming your favorite shows on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and YouTube TV, speed and reliability make all the difference. Streaming is now the dominant way Americans consume entertainment. A 2025 Pew Research Center survey found that 83% of Americans use streaming services, with nearly 90% of adults under 50 streaming regularly.

As streaming continues to grow, ensuring fast, reliable service has never been more important – and that’s where local servers come in. By bringing content closer to end users, local servers can significantly improve streaming speeds and reduce buffering, creating a smoother viewing experience for everyone.

At Ezee Fiber, we’re not just focused on delivering fiber-fast multi-gig internet to your home — we’re committed to optimizing your entire online experience. That’s why we’ve invested in ultra-fast Multi-Gig plans and smart technology like local servers to keep things running smoothly, even during the busiest streaming hours.

What Are Local Servers?

Local servers are exactly what they sound like — servers located right in your region that store copies of popular content, like Netflix shows and movies. Instead of your connected devices reaching across the country (or even further) to access what you want to watch, the content comes from a nearby hub, reducing the distance your data has to travel.

Why That Matters to You

This setup means less buffering, faster load times, and a smoother viewing experience — especially during peak hours when everyone’s online. Whether you’re watching the latest true-crime doc or your kids are deep into an animated adventure, you’ll enjoy consistent, high-quality streaming without annoying hiccups or delays.

Now pair that with Multi-Gig speeds from Ezee Fiber, and your streaming setup becomes nearly unbeatable. Our 2 Gig, 5 Gig, and even 8 Gig plans give you plenty of bandwidth to handle multiple 4K streams, online gaming, video calls, and more — all at once. No more fighting over the Wi-Fi or asking someone to pause their show so yours can load.

Ezee Fiber’s Local Advantage

Because we’re a local provider, we build our network with our communities in mind. That includes partnering with major content networks like Netflix to install local caching servers, also known as Open Connect appliances.

Open Connect appliances, or OCAs, are high-performance servers designed to deliver streaming video content with extraordinary efficiency and are continuously monitored for health and performance. Since the launch of Open Connect in 2011, Netflix has spent over US $1 billion to develop and deploy over 14,000 OCAs across 142 countries – helping to deliver streaming to over 300 million subscribers worldwide.

These servers store the most popular titles close to your neighborhood, so you get the content you love faster — all while reducing unnecessary bandwidth use across the network.
