Why Fiber?
Fiber-optics is the best technology in the world for delivering internet service. Fiber Internet is 200x faster and more reliable than DSL or cable.
Fiber optics has several advantages over traditional copper communications lines:
- Fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than copper cables. They can carry more data so you will not see a reduction of speed when your neighbors are all online at the same time as you.
- Fiber optic cables use digital signals (the natural form for computer data) rather than electrical, so they are not susceptible to interference from other electrical devices or radio signals.
- Fiber optic cables are much thinner and lighter than copper wires, so more fibers can be bundled into a given diameter of cable. Yet they are 4-8 times stronger, making them less likely to be damaged. This means your service is much more reliable!
- No electricity is passed through optical fibers, so there is no fire hazard.
- Data is more secure because, unlike traditional copper wires, it is not possible to tap into a glass line without breaking it.
Fiber-optic systems are revolutionizing telecommunications! Fiber is often said to be "future-proof" because the data is transmitted at the speed of light, so the rate of the connection is usually limited by the equipment rather than the fiber. This will permit substantial speed improvements by equipment upgrades long before the fiber itself must be upgraded.
