Faster speeds (up to 1GB)
Fiber internet is any internet access through fiber-optic lines. What makes this access unique is that it transmits electrical information by using tiny strands of plastic or glass (just slightly thicker than a single human hair) to carry light binary transmissions. Fiber cables carry huge amounts of data, and the average speed that you’ll see at your house is around 1 Gbps. This method of data transmission makes fiber internet the fastest option out there – 100 times faster than the traditional copper wire internet provisions.
