Ok so what about using FBT and PCL splitters? They've been splitting fiber optic connection for terminals since the 1980s. How come contractors are telling me now I can't split the line in my apartment building, and feed it directly to my apartment, even though a Bell technician said it IS possible?

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.

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.

[@magicalfetus729]

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.

[@jefftank3300]

or even to the box just outside your house. My parents have fiber running to the box on the outside wall of their house. then from there to the modem inside is copper. The apartment I live in recently installed fiber straight to the wall. So it is a direct fiber fiber connection

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

[@abcdefg9613]

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).

There is no satellite Internet. There is a station which has the normal DSL connection like your local DSLAM but it is made for the purpose to have a big transmitter with a plate to broadcast signal on the satellite and in return the satellite redirects the signal to its final destination. Rather to the common knowledge that Internet comes from the sky, in reality the Internet comes from the underground and beneath the ocean.

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.

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 .
