Fibre optic broadband is quite simply broadband delivered via a network of fibre optic cables underground, rather than the traditional delivery of broadband via telephone cables overhead. This has several advantages, not least among them being the fantasic highspeed broadband it delivers…
Highspeed broadband is usually fast enough for most people, and unless you’re incredibly impatient, you won’t really need to upgrade. Right? Well, that’s what most people think until they actually get fibre optic broadband and realise just how much faster and more reliable it is than standard highspeed broadband.
The advantage of having highspeed broadband via fibre optics is that it never slows down or suffers connection issues due to weather etc. This is because the fibre optic cables are placed underground and are pretty much immune to everything down there unless you get a mole with particularly sharp teeth!
Fibre optics don’t loose speed the further away you are from the source either, unlike the telephone highspeed broadband that suffers speed loss depending on how far away you are from the telephone exchange. So no matter if you’re 100 miles away and the weather is a storm and all the phone lines are down, you will still be able to use highspeed broadband without any interference. The beauty of it is that you can also have all your telephone services and even TV through it too these days.
Why have slow highspeed broadband when you can go fibre optic?
