With Fiber, we are entering the era of drastically faster speeds, low latency, and improved reliability over older internet connection technologies.
If you are unfamiliar with Fiber internet connection, it uses a particular fiber optic cable type. Data is transmitted via beams of light via thin glass or plastic fibers – thus enabling substantial speed increases over traditional telephone lines.
