If you have the option to choose between fiber and VDSL for your internet service, we generally recommend going with fiber if it is available in your area. Here are a few reasons why:
- Speed and Bandwidth: Fiber optic connections typically offer faster and more consistent speeds compared to VDSL. Fiber can provide symmetrical upload and download speeds, which is particularly beneficial if you frequently upload large files, video conference, or engage in other bandwidth intensive activities.
- Reliability: Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to interference from external factors like electrical noise, weather conditions, or distance limitations. This generally results in a more reliable and stable internet connection compared to VDSL.
- Future proofing: Fiber infrastructure is considered to be more future-proof as it has the capacity to handle increasing bandwidth demands for emerging technologies and applications. It provides a solid foundation for potential upgrades and ensures you won’t need to switch to a different technology in the near future.
- Symmetrical Speeds: As mentioned earlier, fiber optic connections often offer symmetrical speeds, meaning the upload speed is as fast as the download speed. This is advantageous if you engage in activities like video streaming, online gaming, or cloud backups, as it allows for a smoother overall experience.
That being said, it’s important to consider the specific offerings and availability in your area. Internet service availability can vary depending on the region, neighborhood, or even the specific address. Get in touch with us at
