Fiber optics guarantee a high level of quality and speed in the transmission of data, voice, and video, supported by a more efficient and secure infrastructure. Discover in detail the main advantages:
Higher Quality
Fiber optics offer greater bandwidth and therefore ensure better image and sound quality. This is particularly important for users with Ultra HD televisions. While cable internet may struggle with streaming, a fiber-optic connection delivers smooth, high-quality 4K TV and movie transmission.
Higher Speed
The stability of the connection allows web pages to load quickly.
Fiber-optic transmission speeds are 10 to 20 times faster than copper-based connections. For example, downloading a 2-hour HD movie takes around 7 minutes with cable internet, while fiber optics can do it in just 40 seconds.
Less Signal Degradation
Fiber optics ensure lower signal loss and greater reach, overcoming barriers such as walls and objects more effectively. This is especially important for those looking to automate their homes.
Better Value for Money
Fiber-optic services are more affordable than other technologies. Since infrastructure, installation, and maintenance costs are lower, providers can offer more competitive solutions to consumers.
Lower Latency
Many latency issues (delays), such as those affecting downloads and uploads, can be eliminated with fiber-optic services. This also results in a significantly better gaming experience.
Greater Data Security and Privacy
Data security and privacy are higher, as accessing transmitted information would require physically intercepting the fiber, which would immediately trigger alerts to monitoring teams.
Greater Resistance
Unlike copper cables, fiber-optic infrastructures are highly resistant to temperature changes, weather conditions, humidity, electrical discharges, and impulse noise—ensuring that signal quality remains unaffected.
Reduced Space Requirements
Due to its technical characteristics, fiber optics require much less physical space, making it an excellent option for both individuals and businesses with limited server capacity.
These advantages help explain the results of a recent study conducted by the German consultancy WIK Consult, which showed that users with fiber-optic services are, on average, 11% more active online—watching more videos, listening to more music, and interacting more on social media.
In an increasingly digital world where everything happens at high speed, a reliable connection is essential. As the ultimate digital highway, fiber optics are truly the best way to send and receive information.
We would like to remind you that dstelecom builds and manages Portugal’s only fiber-optic infrastructure shared by all telecommunications operators, ensuring that end users can choose and subscribe to the service that best suits them from any operator.
