The internet is, by far, one of the most influential phenomena in the world as of now. Just think about it. We start our day by asking internet devices such as Google Home and Alexa what the weather is like outside to know how many layers we have to put on. Then, we use Google Maps to know the route that allows for the shortest time duration to our work. We also use the internet in the office to keep in touch with loved ones at home. Alongside, the internet is used for communication with colleagues, clients, and customers at work. We cannot forget all the online tools used for making our workday more productive. Once back from the office, we utilize the network of networks to let our friends know that we are ready to hang out on instant messenger group chats. Alternatively, we may use the network of networks for streaming our favorite movies or our preferred episodes of our best-loved television shows. The growth in the usage of the internet may have been caused by the ease of accessibility of the internet. Currently, there are as many as seven thousand internet service providers operating in the world! Just to clarify, by an ISP, we mean a brand that offers internet deal(s) like Xfinity internet.

As there are so many people impacted by the internet all around the world, it makes all the sense in the world that the phenomenon makes its way into everyday discourses at the dinner table and at tea parties. People discuss different things about the internet. Some like to think about how the global network impacts different types of people all around the globe. Others like to deliberate on the individual that contributed the most to the development of the internet. Yet another section of the population discusses how the internet is transmitted throughout the world. In the scenario that you like to discuss topics related to the latter, by all means, keep reading this article. In this piece, we will put the spotlight on fiber internet – the fastest-growing type of internet. We will not only explain to you its functioning and importance but also its different types.

Fiber Internet and Its Types

Although fiber internet had been in the works since the 20th century, it was not until the previous decade that fiber internet really started to get a hold in the internet provision world. As of today, it is growing much faster than both the digital subscriber line and cable types of the internet in terms of the number of internet subscribers in the world. And for good reason. It allows for speeds much faster than the rest of the types. These speeds can even go up to thousands of megabits per second! In other news, more than eighty percent of all the long-distance data as well as voice traffic is carried through none other than fiber-optic lines. Wondering what those are? Let us elaborate.

The Fiber-Optic Line

Just like coaxial cable transmits cable internet and the digital subscriber line transmits DSL internet, the fiber-optic line is the cable through which fiber internet is transmitted. It is made up of glass filaments that carry information in the form of signals of light. These types of signals get transmitted over thousands of miles without much distortion at all. Thus, high-quality and fast speed have become trademarks of fiber internet.
