Fiber makes it possible: super-fast and stable internet for binge-watchers, home office heroes, gaming nerds and everyone who enjoys a speedy online experience.
Fiber optics – what is it and how does it work?
With fiber optic cables, data races through the network at the speed of light. Conventional telephone cables made of copper, on the other hand, transmit the data electronically. Fiber optic connections for private households reach up to 1 Gbit/s in Germany, with the latest connections reaching more than 2 Gbit/s – for both upload and download speeds!
With a real fiber optic connection, you not only browse and stream faster, you also have stable internet and maximum bandwidth. The perfect ping also ensures stress-free gaming.
The six advantages of fiber optics
There are excellent reasons to rely on fiber optic technology for your internet connection. And it's not just because of the high speeds. FRITZ!Box also has a part to play.
No, they're not new electricity suppliers, but three different fiber optic technologies: With AON, you have your "own line" to the network operator and can enjoy full bandwidth.
With GPON and XGS-PON, you share a line with your neighbors – but can still stream and browse at high speeds. Find out more in this guide.
