Cable vs. Fiber Internet Showdown – Watch This Before You Make Your Choice!
Fiber or Fiber Optic Internet recently came to my neighborhood, so I went for it, but before getting rid of my Cable Internet, I decided to test them both out to find out which high speed internet option is the best! Welcome to: Cable vs. Fiber Internet Showdown! You are going to want to watch this video before making your decision on which internet delivery system is better. Thanks for watching.

Here’s the deal I don’t think the broadband company was able to provide you with faster upload speed or you have to ask for it. They often only care about the download speed and therefore they only quote you the download speed. But you were on the plan with the fiber internet company that gave you the same download and upload speed. In my situation my local fiber internet company had one with the higher download speed or one with the same speed mode upload and download and I chose that one.
I select fiber. Now in my house fiber my internet
Just now my isp changed my arris cable internet box to a fiber internet/telephone box.
You forgot to mention the quality of a telephone call over copper v fibre.
I think that you will find the quality of the copper call is much better than the fibre, the reason being that fibre entails bit rate reduction on phone calls whilst copper is analogue.
It the same problem with mobile phones which used bit rate reduction.
Just try and compare a copper to copper phone call with a mobile to mobile phone call and you will notice the difference immediately.
Even a copper to mobile phone call is very poor quality.
You could use a Lindos tester to get a complete test results.. that would be very interesting!
I have century link and it’s 10mbs download and .3 upload
Fibber🤔😆
2:40 U said 35.4mbps upload speed, that’s not very good your opinion😮. In Myanmar, we can only get 320kbps😢 for upload speed..😢😢😢
im so ready to go pro in fortnite with this new fiber tech thank you so much mister for the useful information!
Fiber is so much better. I absolutely. Love my fiber service
You rent the equipment from cable after the introductory period. At least where I live.
The best thing about having fiber installed is the competition it creates. As both cable and fiber optic provide speeds that are fast enough for me, but it also means that when my contract comes up for renewal I can hagle, and shop around if need be.
Also, 5G is popping up in some areas and can be an alternative if need be, just check speeds and signal is ok before signing a contract. For example, do a 30 day contract to check service, then sign a longer contract to save money.
I wouldn’t consider going back to cable unless it was pretty much the only option.
Well I got tired of one specific company having a monopoly in my area…suddenly new companies moving in the with fiber optics and I jumped on it…great speed and great service
Thankfully, there’s been fiber in my neighborhood with Verizon for aslong as I could remember, and I’ve never encountered issues, ever. Only time I did was after we switched to Xfinity (cable) for a few months, and there were 2-3 visits from a tech guy every month. I strongly recommend fiber if the service your going for offers it, and if it’s in your area.
don’t forget the latency which will alway be miles lower than Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC)
LOL @ 35mb upload not good enough… what you running an Enterprise network ?
Had alta fiber but they are forcing an upgrade that includes google nest, it is bad enough they track you on your phone and now they want to use their spyware to monitor all your emails and internet actions as well. No thanks!!
Upload speeds have always been slow compared to download speeds. It’s because there is more complex things behind it.
BYE COMCAST.
Also with having a stronger router u can get faster speeds and coverage in the house all in all good video
Holy shiii, upload speed is over 900
I have cable. If I’m not going to save money, I’m not switching. Give me a reason to switch, when speed isn’t that important to me.
Switching from Cable to Fiber in 3 days! Going from $145 a month for 1000mbps to $35 a month for 1000mbps for fiber. Can’t wait to experience this!
Australia is very far behind
We went from DSL to fiber and it’s like going to warp speed. Imagine going from 8-9 downloads and 3 uploads to 120 and 120 and we have the entry level only that is perfect for our needs.
My DSL is slightly faster than the old dialup.I also have comcast cable internet too.Its way faster than the DSL.My comcast usually goes out all the time but my DSL used to never go out.Now my DSL goes out more than comcast,Presently my DSL with a landline phone has been out for 3 weeks now.They claim an underground cable is the problem.They cant seem to fix it.
i’m using fiber 100mbps down 50mbps up…fps game and streaming maintain like 16-20ms….but it depends on game server…sometimes i do get like 40ms…but still runs good no network delay…unless it heavy use and the internet speed can’t keep it up…but still can be fix by upgrading fiber internet speed..
Note spectrum does not use fiberoptic.
There ads are misleading
If you want 2 ip addresses cable is thenway tongo, fiber will require you to pay for 2 services or hooking up slower switch.
fiber also has a lower latency than cable
I get tops around 600 mbps up and down when I’m really close to the fiber optic modem and that’s not even using the fiber optic Ethernet for the 1 gig up and down
Ummm the device you use IS ALLL that matters!!! Devices that don’t support 1g will have different results and not be achieve optimal results. Use a device like a PS3 or similar in age and then your Mac and then you iPhone. You get different speeds results because of the device. Won’t matter if you have 1 g to the the house
Getting 3gbps on my cable, only 1 gbps on my fiber
I’ll tell you what it means – you are one in 4% of the population that has the choice of both a cable and fiber ISP that offer gigabit service.
Just left fiber for spectrum having random drops on fiber!
I have fiber for about six months and it’s game changer. So happy my state and town have the program.
Just stopped by to say xfinity is garbage
WOW, now I see why AT&T is going all in on Fiber
I was super excited about getting Fiber Optic installed today only for the installer to show up and tell me I needed to call my apartment management to authorize it. They denied it. The installer said yeah many apartments won’t allow you to switch ISP even though we’re available in your area as they only let you choose the ISP they work with. Problem is that’s Xfinity and their internet has been lagging really bad for weeks now and as I work from home it’s become impossible to use. 15% of the time it works and the other 85% I might as well be on dial up.
Here in Switzerland, we enjoy 10Gbit in most parts of the country. All cables are burried in the ground. Telephon poles have gone a long time ago.
How did you compare these two and not use the word latency once?
The slow upload speed may have been the plan you signed up for. I have 800/20.
Me with 11 Mbps: 🙁
I got frontier fiberoptic 1 gig it’s a hell of lot faster than spectrum internet and I had no Interruption of service at all plus I’m paying only $48.23 a month compared of paying spectrum $95.00 a month.thats $47.00 cheaper plus I’m not getting nichol and dimed by spectrum anymore that’s why no one wants spectrum anymore.
My internet is cooked 💀
Thank you very much for the informative comparison between google fiber and cable. Great Job!
Yes very helpful thank you
Switching to fiber as soon as its available. They just dug and put fiber optic lines right outside my house. The cable company keeps imcreasing my price without notice, and am constantly having outages with terrible customer service.
I have a new company in my area providing 10 gigs speed for 50 bucks a month with free installation I have the instalation scheduled will provide an update once I test it out myself
