This video should be shown by every ISP to its customers before they sell you anything. Your way of explaining the technology and details of the equipment is so easy to understand. You gave actual facts and explained how the bandwidth and connections different types of internet can have pros or cons. Best video I’ve ever watched when I’m trying to understand something. Amazing job

This guy has done more for me than my professors

You make it so easy to just passively absorb this information, I feel like so many cracks in my knowledge are being filled in just binge watching your videos

I feel like a grandma learning about new tech

one the best IT channel in youtube keep it up

I'm a network transport specialist. I didn't go to school for it. I've had to learn it on the fly. I script between bbus, routers, switches, picos, mw, you name it. Thanks to my team I'm learning how to do it. But your videos have helped me so much with understanding my job from a different perspective. Thank you 😊

Years ago, I can remember going to the local electronics Megastore and buying a 28.8 dial-up modem and remembering how it was so much faster than our 14.4. I even remember the speed of upgrading to that massive 56k modem. I remember the day that I got proper high-speed internet installed. It was a DSL. A glorious 1.5 M down. I thought I was King of the Hill. They later upgraded that service to max out at around 7M down. When I move back home, I moved into a rural area and because I'm so far away from all of the modern infrastructure at the only thing we had available with a wireless internet system of 1.5 m After several years of living like it's good old 2001, we finally get upgraded a couple of weeks ago to a fibre line. I'm enjoying having internet with a maximum speed of 1500 megabits

I'm currently working as an IT Intern, and I found that this series has vastly expanded my knowledge of not just networking, but also computers in general. As a visual thinker, I really really appreciate the visuals, so clean, so simple. I was also wondering if you could perhaps provide a video talking about the types of monitors that have existed over the years, including Analog VS Digital screens.

Here I am, 1:00 a.m. watching about the different types of internet cables.

I came across you videos a while ago and could not believe how compact and to the point they are. I saw everyone else telling you how great your channel and videos are so I figured i might as well get in line. Thank you for this channel it is a gem!

satellite internet: Am I a joke to you? Everyone: Yes you are.

Quick note - many modern "cable" companies use a hybrid fiber coax system in order to combat the slowdowns of peak times. Usually, there is less than a mile of copper before a node switches RF signals to light to carry them back to the headend.

Nice Video,great job! However I have 3 small notes: - Glassfibre can be much faster than 1Gbit/s but typical fiber providers only provide 1Gbits - DSL are bundled often, e.g many cables lay together and this can also cause errors in transmission which needs to be fixed by CRC/FEC which can cause slower connections. - DSL is in most cases isolated poorly compared to coaxial Even tho I always recommend DSL, if Fiber is not available because the "bandwidth sharing" is really worse in cities.

Every cable internet subscriber needs to know this fact with regards to the shared bandwidth in each area! This is the main reason why i stick with VSDL 🙂

Missing is that cable systems in the US are typically HFC (Hybrid Fiber & Cable) systems. Error: DSL is a dedicated line to the home from the main shared POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line that is shared over larger areas than most cable broadband node areas (largest shared area). Update: Most cable companies are now offering services starting at upwards of 100Mbps and reaching as far as 1Gbps. Excellent basic knowledge view of how these different systems work and what the technologies are that are available for internet access in the United States.

I don't know why so many dislike this channel, but I find it extremely helpful. The best on KZfaq. Thank you for a job well done. Extremely helpful -- even for a non-techie like me.

Wow , this guy is really gifted in explaining things...

Good video pretty accurate. Great that you discussed the difference in cable being shared bandwidth and dsl being dedicated bandwidth. The Telephone companies have newer DSL services and offer some legit speeds. VDSL, VDSL2 and VDSL2+ with Speed Vectoring offer speed ranges up to 300mpbs down and 100mpbs up at short distances from the DSLAM (source)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am 25 year old app developer. Networking always confused me a bit. PowerCert had me understanding really really easy. Great work, great work.

Wow, what a phenomenal video - the animations make it much easier to understand all concepts. And the way you explain everything in a straightforward, understandable way... Like others said, this short video gave me more than reading long articles on the topic gave me. Thank you :)

I don't know if you can realize just how clear and helpful this videos are Thank you!!!

Dial-Up: Basic internet speed. Voice call only. Satellite: Slow internet speed. Has limitations. DSL: Normal internet speed. Seamless voice & data connections. Faster download speed, slower upload speed. Cable: Fast internet speed. During peak usage times, it may get buffering or frequent interruptions, such as video lag or choppy,... when watching videos. Up to 50 calls can handle. VDSL: Very fast internet speed. Shorter distances. Fiber Optic Internet: Gigabit internet speed. Longer distances. Harder to tap. Immune to EMI. Lightweight. Low cost. Low signal loss. More than 1 million calls can handle. Greater capacity. Full advantage.

My area is finally getting fiber, they're currently digging outside! We've been running on a 8mb line for so long, in the next couple weeks we'll upgrade to 50mbs for half our current price 😁

Came here by accident looking for something new about tech things and the difference between many things. Your video is one of the best as it comes to comprehensive, speaking speed, usefull information with no tough words but only crucial. Srry for any problem with my english. By the way even with not best quality of english language i managed to understand everything you said.

Who else watches these for fun?

ISP need to understand that upload is just as important now.

KZfaq recommended me this, now i understand more on why we have crappy internet, you're awesome bro you earned a sub ✊❤️🔥

Best IT channel ever, well worth listening to! I even downloaded a few of these clips to refresh my memory and educate myself

this info makes me feel less confused about internet connections...............thanks ❤

Your videos explain things so clearly and basicly and also answers everything that is related to context. Thank you, keep up the good work!

You've explained better this thing about types of internet as my 1h session with the teacher.

I know I’m 3 years late but this video is extremely informative and direct. Amazing video. Thank you kindly 🙏🏻

Well, last year I used cable internet up to 600mbps, 3 months ago I upgraded to 1000mbps, but they said in reality it will be between 940 and 980mbps. I've tested and is true. But till 2 years ago, maximum speed was 500mbps. I think cable internet is evolving really fast in the last years, but I am sure that fiber offers the best quality, however, not every building have fiber installed into it, in that case cable is the best solution for those who want higher speed services. Greetings from Switzerland.

Great video. Great for beginners to get an understanding of the technology. Would be wonderful if you could also create a video that explains these concepts individually in-depth. Overall, keep up the great work!

Omg thank you so much. I couldn’t understand what my professor was teaching. Thanks for the visuals & notes, they help a lot for people who don’t speak English as a first language. Thank you 🙏🏾

thank you for posting an explanation video on different types of internet! always been curious about the different kinds and type of internet!

A little bit of suppliment to the video for those who want to follow a path in networking.Almost all ISPs in the world actually use fiber up to their POP (point of presence). This video is mainly discussing about the „last mile” segment of the network, so dont make the mistake of thinking that your DSL/Cable is going all the way to the ISP hundreds of miles away. For DSL the terminator is the DSLAM, for cable it is the CMTS and for fiber mostly OLT. Thats why these networks are called hybrids. With this out of the way, another thing to remember is the fact that nowadays the transport medium (coax/ethernet/twisted copper (phone), fiber and so on) are no longer relevant for the types of services it can support. Phone lines, television and internet access can all run on the same line. Another thing to keep in mind (especially if you want to get network certified) is the fact that the end device nomenclature can get very confusing (mainly just to make cosumers understand them a bit). A typical modem is actually much more than that, inside it there is an actual modem which „translates” signal ,a router behind it (which is internally connected) and behind that router „port” a switch for the lan and a „port” for a wireless access point).

Watching this while waiting for the fiber install tech to show up. update 1hr 43mins later - 896.84Mbps down / 1032.80Mbps up ...... its so glorious!!!!

Even today, it is still relevant. You just nailed it. A big thank you from South Africa.

Thanks for this informative video 😄 They're starting construction of a fiber-to-the-home network in my town soon (rural Germany). It's going to be an alternative to our ancient 25Mbps DSL lines.

Cable: 25 Mbits/s - 400 Mbits/s (pretty fast speed, long range, more benefits). DSL: 5 Mbits/s - 100 Mbits/s (average speed, normal range, less benefits). Fiber: Above 1,000 Mbps (extremely fast speed, longest range, even more benefits).

No comment, simply amazed by the explanation! Thank you.

This channel is excellent. i feel im learning more over here than my college classes. Saludos desde Nicaragua

I just went from 5 Mbps DSL to 150 Mbps cable and Woah, I'm used to waiting maybe 12-16 hours for ~40gb to download, I've downloaded ~40gb in 3 hours and it's all been during peak time

I really like how these videos are put together and the information so clearly explained.

Excellent tool for teachers and for consumers who call their internet provider when problems occur and they can know what the technician is talking about.

Just pure informative speeches, nothing fancy. Perfect!

Best conversation balloon ever - "why is this AOL dialup!" Hehe. I get so much entertainment value out of your videos that the learning aspect is just extra. Awesome videos.

Thank you! This was THE ONLY ONE that was easy for morons such as myself, to understand it easier!

I needed some info on DDNS and found your channel. That was 4 hours ago. Thank you for creating such elaborate, yet easily understandable content.

Best IT channel i have ever seen. 1:20 i think it consists of a modem, router, switch and Wi-Fi access point. There isn't a Wi-Fi router.

Thank you! It really helped me understand the difference between the three in just a matter of minutes.

1:24 Modem Switch Router Wireless Access Point

Clear, consise & right to the point. You deserve much more views. Thank you.

Any one in world can understand u r voice so clear crispy Technical info absolutely perfect with superb voice

all of your videos are greatly helpful. I hope that you can post more video for the people studying purpose. thank you so much

Big respect. Thanks a lot for the clean explanation. Not everyone able to explain like this.

Well that's a great explanation and I got a clarification regarding my internet and provider.Thank you

Dial Up: utilizes telephone infrastructure Direct Subscriber Line: Upgrade from dial up, but still relies on telephone equipment-runs parallel to phone signals Cable: Utilizes television infrastructure, later upgraded to handle higher bandwidths Fiber: Utilizes light pulses.

DSL is like magic! A simple twisted pair that's been in place for seventy years can stream hd video plus some. It just blows my mind.

I wish I had fiber

Amazingly simple video & graphics. Talented teacher here.

This was absolutely perfectly explained. A fine job!

You are a great teach " The Teacher"

I can't thank you enough really. But God bless you

no one can teach as brilliantly as you sir! hats off

I looked up possible electromagnetic interference sources online after watching this video and apparently rainfall can be one of them!

"wow, is this aol dial up" LMAO

I'm so happy we are getting fiber internet. Our dsl connection is so slow because we live in the middle of nowhere. Somehow fiber is available in our sector

I feel like you're the best IT Channel👍.

This video lined up with the chapter we are working on this week. Thanks for making everything clear

People forget, what is probably the single most important feature and that's security, most of the cables and why they are used is for data protection and safety. Not just privacy but actual practical safety. Once you can achieve this, then look at how you can make it more efficient.

Just upgraded to 15Gbps symmetrical at my office! The power of fiber 💪

In my area, both Fiber and ADSL are available. I decided to go with ADSL, since it is less expensive, and offers 100 MB. I have been completely satisfied with it.

Already knew all of this but this guy explains it pretty clear.

Some people here, probably a lot, will never know the struggle of trying to download a simple DOS game on dial up in the early 90's! Not only did it take forever, but if someone picked up a phone in your house, you LOST the transfer, and all the time you were waiting too! Also, you probably had connect time to pay for too! It was hell, but we loved it!!!!!! LOLOL

Straightforward and well detailed video, good job

Your illustrations are very concise, easy to understand.

I do installs for cable tv and internet and customers ask me a lot of questions this helped a lot thanks

I’m getting fiber internet installed on Sunday thank god my internet is so trash can’t wait for fiber

As usually awesome content, this channel never gets boring!! keep up the good work and thank you for this video!! ^_^

i just love how you explain most of your videos. Its shades more knowledge.

As a system admin, I consider this channel a golden source of knowledge for whoever wants to learn IT or reassess his knowledge about it.

0:56 I'm so sorry to hear that 😔

Fantastic animation and great explanation, thank you!

Thank you so much for simplified the explanation, its much better than college professors,they used learn to explain like

Thank you for all the information, i understand it clearly. Keep up the amazing work.

Really you are awesome. .. No words to describe. . . Hope to see more videos in networking. .

Please make videos on Datacenter and its Components in parts or series

For me, an explanation video is the most boring thing to watch in youtube. But suprisingly I finished this video without skipping even 1 sec, I do know this things already but the guy explaining in this video makes it simple as 1 2 3 and interesting to those who dont have background knowledge bout this. You have my subscription hope it will you even its just one.

After 4 years...its available now.. But your videos are never getting older

May wanna update this video, some of the info is either incorrect, or out of date.

You are wrong with the speed, more bandwidth doesnt mean faster internet connection , it means more data can be sent at once. ADSL doesn't have slower upload speed, it just has less dedicated frequency than the download one, so less data can be transferred. Fiber optic cable is faster but its not the speed which makes it better, because energy is lost while propagating through the cable, tools are placed(optical amplifiers) so that every couple of miles (something like that) the light gets re fired so it can last longer until it reaches the destination. Fiber is much better because light can be packed insanely close together which means much more data can be sent at once, electrons are sent far apart compared to light so less data is sent with DSL or coaxial cable. That is why fiber optic cable is much better. Tldr: he assumes bandwidth = speed which is totally wrong

Was hoping for a more in-depth explanation of the differences of each tech, but this video is a great explanation for the basics. A great video to send to your less techy family members

Your videos are all easy to understand and well explained. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the video, please update it to the year 2019, where cable modems DOCSIS 3.1 can reach speeds up to 10 Gbps via TV cable.

Amazing Video. I love your tutorials. It's better thn 8 Hours at the school. Thank you very much. Is it possible to donate you?

download speeds DSL 5-35 Mbps Cable 10-500 Mbps Fiber 250-1000 Mbps It should be noted that for the average consumer download vs upload speeds will be asynchronous ( with the exception of fiber; fiber will be synchronous ). This is one of the reasons that fiber offers such a superior transmission technology over others

In fact, DSL bandwith is still shared at some point after the DSLAM who agregates all the connections of the subscribers and then converts it into a fiber line or a multi-pair adsl or vdsl link who goes to the ISP or passes through another DSLAM in the way The problem is that when the link that connects the DSLAM to the ISP or another DSLAM is too slow or there are too many new DSL users (especially with copper links), your connection become veeery slow and it creates many errors My french ISP refused for a long time to replace the copper link by a fiber one and the DSLAM of my very small town even if we were getting 0.5 mbps while 100mbps VDSL would be available for my line . Sorry for my poor level in english, i speak french Otherwise very good video
