Q: What is fiber internet?
A: Fiber-optic internet utilizes glass strands, or fibers, to transmit data at the speed of light, offering the fastest and most reliable connection available. With fiber, you get a dedicated internet connection to your home, offering symmetrical speeds that give you equal upload and downloads speeds. Thanks to that dedicated connection, your speeds don't slow down during peak hours as what you pay for is what you get as you aren't sharing network with other users oustide your home. Fiber internet is also:
Impervious to weather: Immune to rain, snow, and wind interference.
Symmetrical: Identical speeds for both uploading and downloading.
Transmitted via a dedicated connection: A private connection that never shares bandwidth.
Secure: Buried underground, fiber is the most secure form of internet, as signals are extremely difficutl to intercept without detection.
