What is Fiber Optic Internet?

Fiber is the future of communications technology. Optic fiber cable contains strands of optically pure glass, thinner than a human hair, which carry digital information over long distances. Digital signals are sent as pulses of light down the glass fibers, without interference or limitation. Your home is thus connected using the most advanced communications technology currently available giving you the best internet connection possible.


Fiber Optic Internet is Faster,
Clearer & More Reliable

This digital transport system will give you the bandwidth to access the digital communications services of the future, and today’s IP-based broadband apps such as digital streaming TV, VOIP, video conferencing, home security systems, remote appliance management, and residential internet speeds up to 1 Gigabit. (1000 Mb)

Why Fiber Optic Internet?

Fiber optic internet is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to access the internet. It uses fiber optic cables to deliver high-speed internet access to homes and businesses, providing speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional broadband. Fiber optic internet is also more reliable than cable or DSL internet, offering consistent speeds and fewer outages. With fiber optic internet, you can stream HD movies, play online games, and download large files without any interruptions. If you’re looking for a fast, reliable, and secure internet connection, fiber optic internet is the way to go.

Benefits of Fiber Optic Internet

Reliability

Fiber Internet to the home uses a pure ethernet connection back to your ISP, without needing intermediate equipment like a modem. This results in a much more stable and reliable ser­vice, which means less downtime for you. Fiber Internet to the home virtually eliminates most equipment issues and the downtime typically experienced by internet subscribers.

Unlimited Bandwidth

The band­width (speed) is only limited by the processing power of the electronics on each end of the strand of fiber. Fiber offers unlimited carry capacity, because we will never cap your data usage or throttle your speeds. Stream unlimited videos without worrying about overages.

Distance

Unlike copper, there is extremely little resistance in the fiber optic cable, so the signal can travel much further distances. This means we can now serve even the most remote customers.

Less Interference

Because fiber internet is light traveling down the strand of fiber, there is no interference from electromagnetic noise such as radios, motors, power lines, or other nearby cables. This provides a clearer signal and better broadband connection for you. Even the electric signals created by lighting strikes can be transmitted by copper cabling, but they are not transmitted by fiber-optic cabling.

Less Maintenance

Fiber optic cables costs less to maintain than traditional copper lines, saving us all time and money. Stream, game, and download as much as you please.

FAQ


How Internet Speed Works

Fiber optic internet is considered the best form of internet connectivity due to several key advantages it offers over traditional copper or coaxial cable-based connections. Here are some reasons why fiber optic internet is highly regarded:

Speed and Bandwidth: Fiber optic cables use pulses of light to transmit data, allowing for incredibly fast internet speeds. They can provide symmetrical speeds, meaning the upload and download speeds are the same, which is crucial for activities like video conferencing, cloud computing, online gaming, and large file transfers. Fiber optic connections can easily deliver speeds of hundreds of megabits per second (Mbps) or even gigabits per second (Gbps).

Low Latency: Latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel from its source to its destination. Fiber optic cables have very low latency compared to other types of connections. This low latency is essential for real-time applications such as online gaming, video streaming, and voice over IP (VoIP) services. It reduces delays and ensures a smoother experience for users.

Reliability: Fiber optic cables are made of glass or plastic and are immune to electromagnetic interference, unlike copper cables, which can be affected by electrical and radio frequency interference. This makes fiber optic connections more reliable and less prone to outages or disruptions caused by nearby power lines or other sources of interference. Additionally, fiber optic cables are less susceptible to damage from environmental factors like moisture or temperature changes.

Greater Distance Coverage: Fiber optic signals can travel much longer distances without experiencing significant signal degradation. Copper-based connections suffer from signal loss over long distances, requiring the use of signal boosters or repeaters. Fiber optic networks can span several kilometers without requiring any signal regeneration, making it ideal for connecting larger areas, such as cities or campuses.

Future-Proof Infrastructure: Fiber optic technology has a higher capacity for data transmission compared to other mediums. As the demand for bandwidth continues to increase with the rise of high-definition video streaming, virtual reality, and other data-intensive applications, fiber optic infrastructure can easily accommodate these needs. Upgrading to fiber ensures that your internet connection will be capable of meeting future requirements without requiring significant infrastructure changes.

Security: Fiber optic cables are more secure than traditional copper cables. Since fiber optic signals are transmitted as light pulses, they are much more challenging to intercept or tap into without causing signal loss. This added security makes fiber optic internet an excellent choice for businesses or individuals who prioritize data privacy and security.
