One of the best videos I’ve ever seen regarding internet!!!

Great job explaining each of the technologies, I gained a clearer understanding of them, thanks!

i’m going to be switching from satellite to fiber in a weeks time and i’m so excited

You are the most perfect one who explained this 👏👏

Nice vid , thanks for explaining it clearly❤

Thank you very much, I’ve been trying to convince my parents to not get satellite. It’s not the only option here, they just don’t want to wait a couple weeks and pay for new cable to be put in. This video is a great simple explanation for them lol

Informative, keep it up 👍

You would be a great teacher. Thank you for the video.

thanks bro......well and detailed explanation

We are moving from Cox Cable to Centurylink DSL this helped a lot!

In my state, I had to wait for 5 years to enjoy fiber network in my hometown because my hometown is far from city centre. What a nice story to tell the new generation of using kilo bits speed internet.

There's an additional type of internet technology that's becoming more pervasive in rural areas and that's fixed wireless service. Speeds are generally available from 15Mb/S to 50Mb/S and latency is low (10 - 20MS or so). One example you can read about in Wikipedia is from Cambium Networks. There are some downsides; the frequencies used are unlicensed so interference can be an issue and you have to have a line-of-sight view to the Access Point but it's certainly better than other options when you live out in the country.

Amazing work, the picture of the satellite dish is a bit funny though. 😜😜😜

Great Guy 🎈

Excellent video and these low earth orbit constellations from Amazon and SpaceX have satellites far closer than older satellite internet constellations like ViaSAT--- with how close they will be I believe in 10 years they will rival cable.

Great video. Greetings from Brazil. Had 25 mbps DSL from 2008-2017, it wasn’t that stable I would have issues with it going down intermittently with or without storms, probably bad installation. Since then I’ve been using 400/200mbps (no data caps ofc) fiber and it’s absolutely amazing, never a second of downtime in the last 4 years. I had more power outages during huge storms than the internet failing. And it’s fairly cheap here, R$100,00 around 15~20 USD

Thanks, fantastic

Cool Video

Great video. Where I live, there is barely any VDSL support(which is fast DSL basically) and I don't really have that. ADSL seems to be the only thing. 16mbps max and with bad cables you can, at max get like 15. The companies also know nothing about internet in general so if you call and tell them to fix your slow connection they won't do anything about it and claim it's good. And, god forbid, you try to make them lessen your latency they'll just send like a worker who has 2mb at home and has no idea what fastpath, SNR is. There are some places where you can get 100-200 Mbps tho.

great video love your teaching thank you

Moving from satellite to fiber optic thanks for info

I'd like to make a point about the differencing in pricing between cable and fiber. For the past few years (up until last summer) we have had cable internet with a 1024 gigabyte data cap. It wasn't until the past 2 years we paid an extra surcharge of $30 to eliminate the cap making our internet truly unlimited. The reason this was worth it to us is because we routinely would nearly hit the cap and even went over it once. Crazy right?! This past year we were on a 100 Mbps promo which means the price would go up at the end of the 1 year contract. With that said we paid a grand total of $65 per month total which includes the surcharge for uncapping our data. This summer a fiber internet provider installed fiber to my neighbor. When I checked them out I found that I could get 500 Mbps symmetrical for $70 per month with no data cap. The icing on the cake is they offer a price lock guarantee for life. What we pay now is what we'll pay for the life of the service. I'm paying $5 then what I was paying cable, but it's wicked faster and I don't ever have to worry about the price going up. Is $70 per month pricy? Yes, but so was my cable internet and had I not got off their service, I would have paid more for less, or renegotiated to a worse deal. I think fiber is in a unique position to steal cable's lunch.

its 30% slower because the light in the glas hair is not going straight, its boucing off the edge off the strain always.

I live in Singapore and fibre internet is very widespread here. Since many years ago already we've been having 1gbps down and up speeds no data cap and for like 20 SGD a month which is absolutely incredible. Recently tho I've seen homes having 2gbps internet and some upto 10gbps which is incredible. Since like 2013 fibre has been widespread throughout the whole nation and since like 2016 DSL services has been discontinued and even cable internet is barely used. I hope to see many other nations have widespread fibre internet because it's very awesome to have it. My latency is like only 1ms when I'm on etherenet and even on WiFi its only 4ms.

Thank you

I had a lightning strike in my ADSL a few times, it even destroyed the PC and screen. Living in the countryside with very long lines to the central is prone to lightning voltages. Especially during winter, when the strikes are 5 times more powerful. Today I have 4G, but expecting fiber any day now.

best video !!

Here in sri lanka I have a 100/50 Mbps fiber connection. What's more impressive than the speed though is the latency I get. Back in the days when I had dsl my latency used to range b/w 30 to 50 ms. Now with fiber this never goes above 8ms.

Thx so much in duncan alberta for free!! Omg thx for showing me what fibre optic is

Can you make a video on packet loss please 🙏

I am using Fiber Optics Internet. Amazingly cheap. Like 500 GB data a month @ 150Mbps speed at the cost of ₹ 780.

Speeds have changed

DSL goes up to 100 Mbps in Canada

Current cable internet speeds are around 1.2 Gbps

Not bad...but 1. The peak issues story has to go. This isn't a limitation of the network, but poor management on the ISPs part. People work in offices and are connected to workgroup switches. When the switch becomes overwhelmed, you segment and add another switch. So if you provide the capacity, you should have no issues. Internet access is different from network capacity, You access the internet through the network. The word network means sharing resources. EVERY network shares whether it be cable, DSL, EPON/GPON fiber, and plain old telephone service. If you have the capacity, nobody will be affected. If it is slow, your provider sucks. 2. Cable internet is popular because it is fast and always been faster than DSL. It came out before DSL (for internet. DSL was originally used to put multiple phone lines on the same pair of wires). Cable internet used to use a phone line for uploading until the networks were converted to be able to receive signals instead of just transmit signals. DSL showed up to the party later and just because you had home phone lines doesn't mean you can get DSL. The pairs were "loaded" with coils to eliminate high frequency reception by long runs. Yes you would get radio over your phone lines. The load coils have to be removed to get DSL because they block DSL. 3. DSL is using multiple signals, call them "mini modems", to transmit and receive. The phone lines have no EMF shielding. Outside forces can limit some of the frequency usage and the modem will eliminate these frequencies. If you were to populate a phone cable with a bunch of pairs on them with DSL, they would interfere with each other and shut some of the mini modems off to compensate. It's called cross talk. Also the connections for phone and DSL are nowhere near as robust as a shielded coax. All the splices you need to get to the customer's houses, slowly corroding. This is why in the phone central office there was coax to carry digital signals from device to device. 4. The speed of a fiber optic connection is limited by the electronic connections at the end. Fiber has no speed. It is a transmission medium. The devices on the end that do the muxing, demuxing and converting are the slowdown points and the most expensive. Fiber optic can also carry analog and just because you see one doesn't mean you have a fully digital service. Older coax networks are fiber fed and limited in the upstream because the split of down to up isn't even. The original system was built to send signal to your house and they are using a small, previously unused portion to transmit back. In general most people use way more downstream than upstream so symmetrical transfer rates are usually not needed. New coax networks have 5 times the capacity in the upstream and use a transmission method that increases that new amount by around 35%. Downstream on one of these networks has been increased by 35% and also uses the same multiplying factor of another 35%. The networks are fed multiple 10gig data links and converted to RF a block away and the amount of customers using these networks can be as low as 30. 10 gig symmetrical is possible. 5. Fiber's advantage is multiple wavelengths on the same fiber don't mix. You can have as many as 96 networks on a single fiber. The issue is the cost and when you get to where you are going or where you came from you still have to convert the photons back into electrons and to a protocol to access the SHARED NETWORK. In your house you use a SHARED NETWORK as well. It's funny how people assume that is isn't their shared network or their device that is the problem...

In las vegas I had cable internet by cox for 500mbps and up for 100$ and was going up yearly and with contract, when the contract ended the price was going to 120$ so I switched to centurylink no contract for 67$ 140mbps no data cap and was surprised to know it was DSL internet 🤣 amazing how such old technology isn’t that far off from cable,granted maybe it’s due to my location and other logistics but I’ve heard people complain all over usa and the world about how bad dsl internet is, sometimes comparable to dial up lmao 🤣 I guess I’m just lucky

Starlink comes under Satellite technology?

you tube would just not be able to run on a 56k connection no way not possible

10 Gbps cable internet is coming out in the near future

Loved the video but I think latencey on satilite in ntetnet isn't 5-10 seconds later lol come on man it's a few xs worse then cable so we're talking 50-100 not 4-20

Starlink

You forgot LTE better then satalite.

Um watching this using 56k dialup internet

DSL was Never fairly priced in my area and I got tricked into subscribing to AT&T DSL and was lied to about the price and fact that they will charge over $100 to move my service to another location. I also got screwed by Direct TV/ AT&T Fiber Optic, it took me several months to get them to charge me the price I was quoted and the price I kept seeing on TV plus that discount price is only good for one year on a 2 year contract. I canceled early and went back to Dish which guarantees the discount price for the entire 2 year contract. I got Spectrum for Internet which is the cheapest since they are trying to compete with fiber optic but the 49.99 per month price is only good for 1 year and then it goes up to $70 a month so I might as well just get Google Fiber once my year is up. I guess I could always threaten to cancel and they will hopefully give me another year at the 9.99 price or their current special of 49.99 per month plus 1 line of unlimited Talk Text and Data 5G cell phone line but I'm trying out T-Mobile Home Internet that will be $25 a month on a 55+ unlimited plan. Ive got mixed views on the service, when I first got it I was getting an average of 200 Mbps and some times as high as 400+ until it would connect to the slower N71 band that is supposed to have better upload speeds but has way slower more important download speeds of less than 60 Bbps I guess that's still good enough to stream multiple 1080p videos and way faster than early cable internet and early DSL and T1 but if I had to pay the regular price of 49.99 plus Taxes and Fees I might as well just stick with cable internet that is 49.99 a month taxes and fees included in that 49,99 price. At 25 bucks a month I guess I could live with the slower speeds since T-Mobile says they won't increase the price as long as I keep the service.
