What is fiber optic?

Fiber optic Fiber optic internet is an internet connection through thin cables made of glass or plastic. These cables transmit data very quickly, almost at the speed of light. This makes fiber optic internet super fast and reliable.

What are the benefits of fiber optic?

Fiber optic offers many advantages for your internet connection:

1. Faster internet

Fiber optic is much faster than cable or ADSL. You can download quickly, upload large files, and stream movies without interruptions.

Jeroen Dangremond explains why speed is important: "Internet usage continues to grow. We stream more, work from home more often, and use more smart devices. With fiber optic, you are ready for this increase without compromising on speed."

2. Stable connection

Fiber optic is reliable. Even during busy times, your internet works fast and well. According to Jeroen. Stability is one of the biggest advantages: "Fiber optic provides a constant internet speed, regardless of how many people are online at the same time. This is a major difference compared to older networks, where peak hours can result in slower connections."

3. Equal speeds for uploading and downloading

With fiber optic, upload and download speeds are the same. Jeroen: "This is useful when you share a lot of files or have video calls."

Future-proof

Fiber optic can handle a lot of data. It is ready for smart devices and new technologies in the house. According to Jeroen. Fiber optic is becoming increasingly important: "In a few years, fast internet will no longer be a luxury, but a basic necessity. With fiber optic, you are already prepared for that."

5. Sustainable

Fiber optic cables use less energy than copper cables, which is better for the environment. In addition, fiber optic cables have a longer lifespan because they are not susceptible to wear and tear from rust or oxidation like copper. This not only makes fiber optic cables more sustainable, but also more reliable in the long term.

Are there any disadvantages to fiber optic?

Fiber optic is not yet available everywhere. Jeroen says: "The installation of fiber optic is a big project. We have to take into account permits, existing infrastructure, and the demand in an area. This means that some neighborhoods will be served before others."
