 If you’re going to build broadband and have a choice of technologies, why is fiber the best choice?

  1. Future-proofed. Fiber is the only technology that can handle the broadband demand today and for the next fifty years.
  2. Fiber Has Solved the Upload Problem. Fiber is the only technology that solves the upload needs today.
  3. Is the Easiest to Operate. Fiber networks are the easiest to operate since they transmit light instead of radio waves.
  4. Lower Life Cycle Costs. Fiber is clearly expensive to build, but the cost characteristics over a fifty-year time frame can make fiber the lowest-cost long-term option.
