- How is fiber internet different?
Fiber internet uses light signals sent through thin strands of glass or plastic to deliver data, making it much faster and more reliable than cable internet, which uses older copper coaxial lines. Fiber also offers symmetrical speeds (equal upload and download speeds), while cable typically has slower upload speeds.
