Apart from achieving incredible speeds, Fibre is a much more stable and reliable service. Fibre to the home virtually eliminates most equipment issues and downtime that may be experienced over copper.
The lines require no upgrading and very little maintenance. Unlike copper, there is no resistance in the fibre optic cable, so the signal can travel over longer distances. Because it’s light being transmitted, there is no interference from electromagnetic noise such as radios, motors, power lines, electric fencing or other nearby cables. This means a clearer signal and better broadband connection. Even lightning strikes, which can be transmitted by copper cabling, are not transmitted by fibre-optic cable.
