Modern FTTH connection speeds up to 1 Gigabites per second which is 120 times faster than cable or DSL connection. FTTN (fiber to the node) is also a fiber connection similar to FTTH but their difference is, it only taps Fiber optics from the central point to the node, unlike in FTTH which is end-to-end from the ISP’s server to your home.

It is significantly and undeniably faster than ADSL or Cable Internet since fiber technology uses the flicker of light to communication information through glass cable wires, unlike the electromagnetic pulse sent by ordinary copper cables from DSL.  Understanding how fiber optics work is very messy job. Jargons like FTTH, FTTD, FTTC, and FTTN are some of terms you'll encounter when a salesman is trying to sell you fiber internet for your business, yet there are many things to learn about fiber internet connection that you might need to consider.  As a reponsible netizen, I'll give you the difference between two fiber jargons, namely the FTTH and FTTN for you to understand if you're getting fiber optics directly to your PC or just to the big box found on communicatio...
