What is Fibre?

In the evolution of fixed line connectivity, fibre is what comes after ADSL. The term “fibre” is commonly used to refer to “fibre optic technology.” Fibre is made of glass and is the most stable and sustainable material over which to deliver data and internet services. Data is transmitted over the fibre in pulses of light. Data is transmitted in the form of light/laser (see Fibre optic communication). The difference in performance between fibre and its predecessor copper is that data can be transmitted over MUCH longer distances compared to copper and at a MUCH higher speed.
