The technology
Why fiber changes everything.
Fiber-optic internet sends data as pulses of light through glass strands. That single physics shift makes it faster, steadier, and more future-proof than anything on copper.
Fiber vs. everything else
| Feature | Fiber | Cable | DSL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Download speed | Up to 10 Gbps | Up to 1 Gbps | Up to 100 Mbps |
| Upload speed | Same as download | 35–50 Mbps | 10–20 Mbps |
| Latency (ping) | 1–5 ms | 15–40 ms | 40–70 ms |
| Weather sensitivity | None | Moderate | High |
| Peak-hour slowdowns | No | Common | Common |
Great for
- Remote work and video calls that never stutter
- Cloud backups that actually finish overnight
- 4K streaming on every TV at once
- Competitive gaming with sub-10ms ping
- Smart-home devices that stay online
What you'll leave behind
- Buffering during peak hours
- Uploads that take longer than downloads
- Weather-triggered outages
- Modem restarts
- Bundled channels you never watch
