Why Fiber optic?
Fiber optic is the internet of the future. We are all increasingly online. Every day, we send billions of bits and bytes through the internet, and this number increases by 40% each year. The existing networks of copper and coaxial cables cannot handle this growth. Fiber optic can. Easily. Switch now! These are the major benefits of fiber optic.
1. Superfast internet
The biggest advantage of fiber optic internet is, of course, the speed. Compared to traditional copper networks, fiber can be up to 20 times faster. With speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second or more, you can do anything you want just much faster. Plus, you only share the cable with your housemates, not with the entire neighborhood.
2. Reliable and stable
A fiber optic network is extremely reliable. Internet providers have an average uptime of 99.9%! There is almost no downtime, and the connection is super stable. This means sending and receiving large files in no time, smooth online meetings without interruptions, and no buffering when uploading games.
3. Added value for your home
Fiber optic internet enhances your living experience. You'll have the fastest WiFi available. And if you ever move, fiber will definitely make your home more attractive to future buyers. Ultra-fast, reliable internet boosts the growth and development of all residents and businesses in your community. This strengthens the economy, increases job opportunities, and supports the housing market making your home even more desirable. Who wouldn’t want that?
4. Ready for the future
Watching TV together in super-ultra HD, joining hybrid meetings with your own hologram, VR gaming, and much more all at the same time. You can watch what you want, when you want, in ever higher quality. Delayed TV viewing and streaming services like Netflix and Videoland are just the beginning. In the future, you’ll be able to attend concerts and theater performances as if you were really there.
5. Kind to the environment
Internet via fiber optics uses 60% less energy than other types of connections. Fiber also doesn't expand, oxidize, or harm the earth in any way. Modems, routers, and central systems for copper and cable networks consume a lot of electricity. Fiber works with light. If we all switch to fiber, we can save an enormous amount of energy together. What are you waiting for?
6. Open network
And another major advantage of the Open Dutch Fiber network: our fiber network is an open network. This means that any provider can offer their services through our network. We believe in freedom of choice. We list all available packages and providers in your area so you can choose the one that suits you best.
