rpgsearcherz 5 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Broadband usually is fibre optics...Fibre optics is just a way to get more throughput. Broadband is anything faster than dial-up.So which one is best? Neither. Essentially they are the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cemeteryrecords 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 I think he's refering to, like, T1 and T3 connections. And if thats the case, T1 (and even more-so T3) are much faster, and broadband, cable, and especially dial-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragav.bpl 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Hi friend I suppose you are not able to understand the basic diff b/w broadband and fiber optics....Actually broadband is the service offered by the operator which is very highspeed internet. and the operator offers you the service by the help of fiber optics.........Hope this was helpfull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Cicala 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Normally fibre optics consists of light being transferred. It can reach speeds of over 1Gbp/s although I'm not sure but I think two CAT 7 cables twisted can reach 10Gbp/s. I just stick with normal internet provided in my area my transfer download rate is 8MBp/s though Edited March 18, 2009 by cicala (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash-Bash 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 Lol No what he means is like, Copper wire's which is like what most house's have or Fibre Optics like Virgin media use, I would go for Fibre's dude it is so much faster and with a hacked modem you can get off ebay I can download a game in about 10 minutes where as with normal one's it would take you about 3 hour's!

This I am sure is based on 2 twisted CAT7 cables. Fibre optics in residential internet is only got a speed of 1Gbp/s. I am sure of this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
