Why Fiber vs. Cable?
It’s faster, more reliable, and designed to support EVERYTHING you do online. Discover why everyone is switching and if Brightspeed Fiber Internet is the right fit for your home.
So, what actually is fiber internet?
You’ve heard that fiber is faster. Here’s how it works.
Fiber internet uses ultra-thin strands of glass to send data as pulses of light. That means your internet travels literally at the speed of light. These fiber-optic cables are way more advanced than the old-school coaxial cables used by traditional cable internet.
The result? A network that can handle all your smart home devices, streaming, video calls, gaming — you name it — without ever slowing down.
The future isn’t cable. It’s fiber.
Speed is just the beginning. Fiber outperforms cable across the board.
See how the two stack up.
| Fiber | Cable | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall plan speed | Lightning-fast, future-proof gig speeds | Varying, often slower during peak times |
| Upload/download speeds | Completely equal upload/download speeds | Uploads are much slower than downloads |
| Reliability | Consistent performance with less downtime | Susceptible to congestion and aging coaxial cables |
| Streaming/gaming performance | Smooth 4K streaming, low-lag gaming | May buffer, especially with multiple users |
| Weather interference | Immune to weather-related slowdowns | Performance can degrade in storms or humidity |
| Infrastructure | Built with newer fiber-optic lines | Relies on decades-old tech made solely for TV needs |
Fiber was built to benefit you.
You deserve a connection you can count on, no matter what life throws your way.
