said by Simba7:Fiber *IS* better than Copper. Here is the reasons:
1. More bandwidth. Technically, Fiber can handle 1+Tbps connections. Add multiple wavelengths and it'll go even faster.
2. Longer distances. I think 25 miles without a repeater is freakin' awesome.
3. Reliability. No more crappy coax connections and no ugly signal fluctuations.
..and if you want compatibility, you can split your video, data, and phone from the feed and put them in their places (Coax, RJ45, and RJ11).
What's the benefit of Coax to the home?
1TBps to your home? Not today, not in 5 years. Probably not even in 10 years. Keep dreaming.
