Currently today’s Internet speeds in the USA are lacking in worldwide comparison. Asia, currently hosting 44% of all Internet users, is leaps ahead in data throughput efficiency. Fiber Optic cabling is capable of much greater speeds than traditional copper. We are on the forefront of receiving internet and connectivity speeds ten times the current rate. The Video below explains Fiber to the Home in Europe (FTTH). http://www.ftthcouncil.eu
“Connecting homes directly to fiber optic cable enables enormous improvements in the bandwidth that can be provided to consumers. Current fiber optic technology can provide two-way transmission speeds of up to 1000 megabits per second. Further, as Cable and DSL providers are struggling to squeeze increments of higher bandwidth out of their technologies, ongoing improvements in fiber optic equipment are constantly increasing available bandwidth without having to change the fiber. That’s why fiber networks are said to be “future proof.”- http://www.ftthcouncil.org
