What is Fibre, and how does it work?

Fibre Optic Internet, more commonly known as Fibre, is a type of broadband connection capable of reaching speeds of up to 940 Megabits per second (Mbps), with a low lag time. Fibre makes use of Fibre-optic cables and light –which can send data as fast as approximately 70% the speed of light –now that’s fast!

How it works?

Essentially, the information you send and receive over the internet will be sent through in the form of light as opposed to electricity when you have a Fibre connection.

Pros of Fibre

High-speed connection

Fibre can reach download speeds of up to 1Gbps, meaning you can download a 2-hour movie in less than a minute!

Reliability

Because this connection uses light instead of electricity – rest assured that severe weather conditions, theft or lagging during peak time will be a thing of the past.

Multiple devices can connect

Due to its high-speed and reliability, you can have multiple users connected without affecting the quality of the line–we think that’s pretty cool.

Better gameplay

This one’s for all the gamers out there – Fibres is considered the holy grail of internet connections to gamers because of the previous three factors we mentioned. You no longer have to worry about the connection dipping during the most crucial moment of gameplay!

Safety

Because Fibre uses light instead of electricity, the connection can withstand the forces of severe weather conditions and theft.

No-throttling

Throttling occurs mostly during peak times for internet usage–this happens when your service provider lowers your internet speed to ration their service. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen with a Fibre connection.

Cons of Fibre

Availability

Fibre is mostly available in urban areas and is slowly being introduced in other locations. Although there are plans in place to increase its availability across the country.

Physical damage

Fibre cables are thinner and lighter than copper cables –making it a more delicate system. Due to this, these cables can be easily cut during building renovations or rewiring.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Best Internet

What is line speed?

Line speed refers to the maximum speed your internet connection can support. Line speeds vary –starting from as low as 4Mbps going as high as 1Gbps.

Your line speed will depend on the package you choose from your ISP, but this is not always the speed you will get on a regular basis, as several factors can impact the line quality –think the distance between your device and the router, weather, and internet traffic during peak times.

But these factors do not affect a Fibre connection as much as it does a cable connection.

What Fibre line speed would I need?

Your ideal Fibre line speed would be be dependent on your needs –so think of how many internet users you have at home, how much streaming or online gaming you do daily, and whether you have people working from home.

For someone who has about 2 internet users at home who stream content for approximately 3-4 hours a day, (or one user who works from home), with both users spending time on social media –we would say a 25Mbps line speed would be ideal for this household.

Did you know we have a cool way for you to check what your ideal line speed is? Just answer a few simple questions and we'll curate the best deals for you based on your needs

Is Fibre more expensive than other connections?

In certain cases –Fibre can be more expensive than other connections such as LTE –but it is also dependent on your ISP. Several ISPs offer similar Fibre deals but at different price points –this is due to the FNO they deal with.

With Best Internet, we don't want to offer you sky-high prices for a reliable connection –we believe in giving you more for less.

Do I need to buy a Fibre router?

No, if your current router can support a Fibre connection then you won't require another router. But, thankfully, most of our Fibre offers come with a free-to-use router –making your transition into Fibre that much smoother!

Are there month-to-month Fibre deals available?

Yes, some of our Fibre deals are offered on a month-to-month basis–meaning you have the convenience of cancelling or changing your provider anytime you want to!

How long does it take to install Fibre?

If Fibre cables are already installed in your area –installing Fibre in your home should take between 1 – 4 hours. Installation of Fibre involves running cables from the Fibre box from outside your property into your home. These cables will generally run underground so some drilling and digging up would be involved
