What is Fiber Internet?

[JamesMiller]

Can someone explain what fiber internet is? I’ve heard it’s faster than regular internet, but I’m not exactly sure how it works. Any simple breakdown would be really helpful!

Fiber Internet is a broadband connection that uses ultra-thin glass or plastic cables to transmit data as light pulses. This technology provides significantly faster and more reliable speeds (often symmetrical, up to gigabits per second) than traditional copper-based connections like cable or DSL.

Fiber Internet, or Fiber Optic Internet, is a broadband connection that transmits data as light pulses through thin strands of glass or plastic fiber. This allows for significantly faster speeds (up to 8 Gbps) and greater reliability than traditional copper-based cable or DSL services.

Fiber Internet uses fiber-optic cables with thin glass strands to transmit data as pulses of light. This technology offers significantly faster speeds, higher bandwidth, and a more reliable connection than traditional copper-based internet.
