Well, @Rhea, Normal internet cable is not used so far. Many people moved to a demanding, fast internet connection. However, the fiber cable transmits the data faster than the normal optical cable.
Fiber internet is generally better than cable internet due to its faster speeds, higher bandwidth, and lower latency. Cable internet, while widely available and typically cheaper, can slow down with heavy local usage. If available and within budget, fiber is the superior choice. Hope you understand well.
Most users are served better by fiber internet compared to the cable. Fiber is also capable of higher speeds, less latency, and steadier performance, including streaming, gaming, or going on multiple devices. Cable internet is high speed in nature but has the disadvantage of reduced speeds at peak periods because of shared bandwidths. Fiber is future-proof yet it might be in limited supply.

Fiber internet is generally faster and more reliable than cable, especially for uploads, but cable can be more widely available and affordable.
Fiber internet is generally better than cable due to faster speeds, higher reliability, and lower latency. Fiber offers symmetrical upload and download speeds, making it ideal for heavy users, gaming, and streaming. Cable internet is widely available but may experience slower speeds during peak usage times, making fiber the superior choice.

Fiber internet is generally better than cable—it offers faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliability, especially for heavy streaming, gaming, or remote work. However, cable can still be a good option where fiber isn’t available.
Fiber internet is usually better to cable because there are faster connections, improved reliability, and reduced latency. Fiber provides symmetric upload and download connections and would better suit a heavy user, streaming and gaming. Cable internet can be utilized fairly easily but speed can degrade during peak hours, hence choice of fiber.

Fiber internet is generally better than cable internet due to its superior speed, reliability, and symmetrical download/upload speeds. However, cable internet is often more widely available and may be a more affordable option.
Fiber internet is generally better than cable internet because it offers faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliable performance, especially during peak usage times. Fiber uses light signals through glass strands, allowing for symmetrical upload and download speeds, which is ideal for streaming, video calls, and large uploads. Cable internet, while widely available and often fast, can slow down if many users are online at once. However, cable may be more accessible in some areas.
