What is fiber optic Internet service?

About fiber optic Internet service

Fiber optic technology transmits data by pulses of light. It is known for its high bandwidth and is capable of higher transmission rates than other competing ISP technologies.

Fiber optic Internet service is similar to that of DSL or cable Internet services in that it provides a fast and reliable online experience.  However, fiber optic Internet service is much faster than either DSL or cable – up to 20 times faster, in fact.  Compared to dial-up Internet services, fiber optic can be 150 times faster.

While it isn’t available in all areas, fiber optic can be a very good option for business or even personal use.  Since there are different upstream and downstream speed options, the scalability is an impressive feature not found on most other comparable Internet services.

The price for fiber optic Internet access varies based on the different options in upstream and downstream speed.
