I live in Nevada and internet providers are slim. I’ve been looking around at the handful of companies that have internet. I live with family and their bill keeps getting hiked up. I’ve found an internet company with decent reviews but I’m stumped on something. What’s better copper cabling or fiber? The company I emailed said “Fiber has a higher potential maximum speed than copper”. My cousin tells me that’s not true because it’s part of their marketing speech. Can someone give me more information? I’m not sure what to believe.
It all depends on the speed they are selling you. Copper and fiber come in various flavors. Thats JUST a cable - and most “copper runs” are actually fiber until the ‘last mile’.
Fiber is not always the same speed or faster than copper. We need more info on the actual speed they are offering.
