DSL Verses Fiber Optic

The speed is like 30 times faster than a 3 Mbps DSL line.

Fiber Optics equaling 100 Mbps.
Depends on your provider, 200, 300, 500 all the way up to 1,000 Mbps for business.

3 types of Fiber service.

1. Fiber to the neighborhood, then cabled in the home from the junction box.

2. Fiber to the Curb, then cabled in from there.

Then the Best:
3. Fiber to the Home, brings the fiber Optic strand all the way into your home.

Lightning strikes don't affect it either because it's a glass strand, unlike DSL is a burried copper line that lightning strikes can jump onto and blow out attached computer equipment and routers.

I have Fiber to the Home in Minnesota, lucky to even get it. They came right by with the main fiber line. Other neighbors just a mile away can not get it because they are off the route.

So yeah, very lucky to get it, had 3 mbps DSL before.

Now have 100 mbps Fiber for 69.00 a mo.

The thing with fiber it is symmetrical, Downloading at 95 mbps and Uploading at 95 mbps.

So it's great for uploading youtube videos and pictures to share with others. Really no waiting, just a few minutes on the video uploads.
