Internet bandwidth of optical fiber and telephone line

What are the characteristics of optical fiber? Very low bit error rate, high speed, long connection distance and so on. If the data transmission rate and quality are not very high, then there is no need to use optical fiber. The transmission rate of optical fiber can reach above10 g.

Bps and bps have different units. We usually say that the download speed is in bytes, while the transmission rate is in bits, and 8 bits is equal to 1 byte. So you have to multiply it by 1/8 to get your actual bandwidth.

Pulling optical fiber is much more expensive than pulling telephone line because the technology and equipment are different. Telephone lines only need a cat and then set up at the local office, while optical fiber needs more expensive equipment and money, which is not cost-effective.
