What is Fibre?
What is Fibre, how does it work and what are the benefits?
Fibre can be described as an internet connection that makes use of fibre-optic cables to send data at incredible speeds. This is possible because of its use of light pulses, an alternative to the traditional copper wire and electricity use, for data transmission.
These cables are more resistant to interference; therefore, your network has a lower chance of disruption. They are also resistant to corrosion, unlike traditional copper wires, which also better protects them. Since they’re so fine, they also have the ability to be easily scalable should you require it for business growth. Fibre can be used to establish connections for homes or businesses and offers higher bandwidth than alternatives such as ADSL.
What are the benefits of Fibre Internet?
A more reliable network
Fibre optic cables do not generate electricity like copper cables. They generate light pulses that move high volumes of data over any distance, which means that they do not operate via electrical signals, making it difficult to tamper with unless the cables are physically cut.
This means that your internet won’t lose signal, and your signal won’t weaken over a lengthier distance, so one can expect uninterrupted internet access of a premium quality with fibre at your home or office. Yes, this does mean that your connection is not going to fail while you’re watching your favourite Netflix series.
Creation, education and the entrepreneur
With a reliable internet connection at home, educational websites are more accessible, allowing you to better educate yourself in the comfort of your own home. Education websites like Udemy, EdX, and some YouTube channels will enable you to educate yourself and your children whenever you feel like it. Sites like the Bible Project are great for personal and family enrichment.
Fibre also creates more opportunities for those wanting to work from home. With a reliable connection, you can access websites like Elance, Fiverr, Simplyhired, and many more, to find a fulfilling job online.
Increases property value
When home- or business owners consider buying property, a few things are considered. An active fibre connection is one of the things that will render your property more valuable and attractive to interested parties.
Future Proof
Traditional copper internet has capacity, speed and distance limitations. In comparison to copper, or any other technology, fibre’s capabilities are nearly unlimited. We say it’s is a future-proof technology, since a fibre network, once installed, does not require a future change.
