Yes, fiber-optic internet is generally faster than cable internet.
Fiber uses light signals through glass strands, making it faster, more reliable, and less affected by interference compared to cable, which relies on copper wires and can slow down during peak hours.
If you have the option, fiber is the better choice for speed and performance.
- Fiber speeds can reach up to 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) with symmetrical upload and download speeds.
- Cable speeds typically range between 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, with slower upload speeds.
