What is fiber-optic internet?
While DSL and cable internet are fast, fiber internet is much faster – up to 25x faster. The materials in fiber-optic lines give it many advantages over conventional copper cable.
Fiber internet uses glass (in a very fine and flexible form) to transmit information via pulses of light. This makes fiber internet more resistant to interference when compared to the copper wires used by other internet providers. Fiber also transmits data much faster over greater distances because the cable is smaller and weighs less, making it ideal for quickly transporting information.
However, fiber broadband service is not perfect – at least not yet. This is because most fiber-optic networks are not currently as far reaching as DSL or cable high-speed internet service. However, fiber optic is the future of the internet and will be become increasingly available in more neighborhoods soon. Use Allconnect® to see if fiber internet is available in your area.
5 benefits of fiber-optic internet
- Ease: Plug in your modem and tell the provider to flip a switch. Once fiber-optic lines are installed in more regions, connecting will be this easy for more people.
- Quality: Since fiber’s main conductor is glass, it is resistant to interference. This helps it produce a connection that’s known for superior performance.
- Speed: Up to 25x faster than cable or DSL, with a clean and consistent connection coming into your home.
- Value: The price you pay for the speed you get is more affordable than cable or DSL, and you get more reliable service. Because fiber-optic cables cost less to maintain, the price for service is expected to decrease over time, too.
- Availability: As providers install more fiber-optic lines, fiber internet will become available to more people. But at this time, fiber is only available in a select cities and neighborhoods.
