How does fiber internet work? 0ms ping!

Snazzy Labs upgrades to fiber. Learn what different types of fiber networks exist, how they work, and the effects they have on your network speeds and ping time.

Fiber internet is the new cool thing in the tech world, but it can get confusing because from country-to-country (even company-to-company), definitions vary. On this episode of Snazzy Labs, we install fiber internet and explain what FTTX means, the difference between AON and PON optical networks, and why Active Ethernet is going to be an awesome solution for us. How to get faster internet? How to get lower ping time? This is how. Gigabit speeds and sub-1ms ping time to the rescue!

This video was 14GB and uploaded in about 5 minutes. I can get used to this...

Bending the cable was pretty crazy! I think the zeros get through fine because they are round but the ones probably get stuck in the sharp bend.

And here's me complaining that my ISP doesn't give me Fibre Internet and stuck on a 70/20 plan when its suppose to be 100/40, and the connection averages around 43Mbp/s Down and 14 Mbp/s Up.

When your ping is so good you're bottlenecked by the servers of the game company

Who ever is reading this I wish you a great day

Linus watching this with his 1.6 TB/S 😎

As a certified fiber installer/network admin, watching you bend that cable took years off my life. Kids, don’t go bending your cable just for fun. Eventually the stress WILL kill it!

"Internet service providers don't typically give life, they suck it". The most truest sentence on the internet

Going from 50mb/20mb to fiber is such a massive upgrade! Congrats! I live stream games and work in tech and the first thing I did when I was established on twitch was pay for fiber. I went from living in Wisconsin with 40 - 60ping in most games I play, to 0 - 5ms at all times. It's amazing.

As a an ex-fiber tech of a couple of years, I loved seeing this video Quinn!

[@richardsmithers5868]

When putting extreme bends in fiber optic cable, even if the connection is still working, it lowers the maximum (optimal) speed at which the data can transfer. So if your cable is rated to work at speeds of 10Gbps, extreme bend would probably lower the maximum speed possible, increase errors, and probably introduce latency. Those are some awesome statistics when testing your connection!!! 👍

The one thing I remember after watching this video: Microsoft Edge is available for the Mac.
