Fiber optic is much better than DSL. These two technologies are commonly compared by others. DSL or Digital Subscriber Line is transmitted through telephone wire that is made from copper. It is capable up to 8 Mbps for downloading some files. Fiber optic cables are made of glass. The speed of fiber optic connection using fiber optic cables is up to gigabits per second, it is much faster than DSL cable. Fiber optic connection is six times faster than the fastest DSL connection and it is up to 50 Mbps. The availability of FiOS or fiber optic is sparsely available. It is not like DSL connection that are easy to deployed by everyone because fiber optic connection are involving installing all new fiber optic cables that are made of glass. While DSL cables are easy to deployed or used by everyone is because DSL cables is more casual internet rather than fiber optic. DSL and fiber optic are using the same hardware to communicate with the computers. They use router or modem to interface with computers or other internet devices. Even fiber optic is better than DSL, fiber optic service is more expensive than DSL service. It is because fiber optic connection is not available to all area, it is very costly for one company to set all up the networks to all area. The material of fiber optic is more expensive than the material of DSL. It is true that fiber optic is much better than DSL.
