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.
The only reason I can imagine your cousin is saying that is because you have copper going to the house. Therefore any improvement paying for fiber gets immediately bottlenecked by that, so you are just throwing away money. If however you get fiber to the house, then there is a significant improvement, however this is not always possible.
