Got Questions?
What is Fiber internet & how does it work?
Fiber internet is a type of broadband connection that uses fiber-optic cables to deliver high-speed data. Unlike traditional copper-based connections, such as DSL or cable, fiber-optic cables transmit data using light signals. This allows for much faster and more reliable internet speeds, making it ideal for activities like streaming, gaming, video conferencing, and transferring large files.
How Does Fiber Internet Work?
Fiber-optic cables are made up of thin strands of glass or plastic, each about the diameter of a human hair. These fibers use light pulses to carry data at nearly the speed of light. Here's a simplified breakdown of the process:
1. Data Transmission: When you send a request (like loading a webpage), the data is converted into light signals.
2. Light Signals Travel: These light signals travel through the fiber-optic cables, bouncing off the walls of the cable using a process called total internal reflection.
3. Conversion Back to Data: At the receiving end, the light signals are converted back into electronic data that your devices can understand.
Fiber Internet is renowned for its symmetrical speeds (equal upload and download rates), low latency, and consistent performance, even during peak usage times or bad weather. It’s a future-proof technology that supports the growing demand for high-speed, reliable internet connections.
