Fiber optics is a high-speed internet connection capable of reaching speeds of 940 megabits per second (Mbps), with a short delay. This technology uses fiber optic cables and allows data to be sent at approximately 70% of the speed of light. In addition, fiber optic cables are not as susceptible to severe weather conditions as other traditional cable types, which helps minimize power outages. The great convenience and fluidity of fiber optics allow users to surf the internet up to 30 times faster than their old ADSL connection. To give a simple example, a movie can be downloaded in a few minutes, while it takes more than 30 minutes with ADSL. The increased bandwidth allows more people (in the family or business) to surf the web at the same time without slowing down when browsing sites or downloading data. Many commercial operators are competing with each other to capture the vast majority of surfers who have come from older connection technologies like DSL. Fiber optic connection offers have now far surpassed their predecessors, offering very attractive rates, at prices similar to those of DSL offers a few years ago.

Choosing the best fiber optic subscription

To choose the best fiber optic subscription , you must first identify your exact needs, as there are many offers. If browsing the Internet will be the main activity, offers starting from one hundred megabits may be enough to check emails, explore different sites, watch videos and download files. If the user prefers high-definition video experiences (HD / HD ), such as those visible today with 4K resolution, a fiber optic connection of at least 200 Mbit is recommended, to fully enjoy the spectacle offered by a 4K TV. But there are several uses for which Internet users today prefer an ultra-fast fiber connection: quickly downloading HD movies ; playing online games without slowing down; watching movies or series in streaming; sending large attachments in a short time.

Analyze market offers

Once you've identified your connection speed needs, all you have to do is compare the different subscription plans offered by operators . Here are the aspects to pay more attention to:

  • The price (at equal connection speed)
  • Quantity and quality of TV programs
  • Phone calls to landlines and/or cell phones (unlimited or not)
  • Cloud storage space
  • Presence of a mobile offer included
