A type of internet connection known for its speed and reliability is fiber-optic broadband. This technology transmits data using thin strands of glass or plastic, allowing for high-speed data transfer compared to traditional copper wiring used in DSL and cable connections. Fiber-optic connections provide greater bandwidth, enabling multiple users to stream, browse, and download simultaneously without a drop in performance. The reliability of fiber also results in lower latency, making it ideal for applications like online gaming and video conferencing.
