Looking at network tech available across Gulf Breeze, we see that the most prevalent wired broadband connection infrastructures are DSL and Fiber, with 98.94% and 27.99% respectively. Fiber is built on newer, more modern Fiber-optical lines made of hair-like glass or plastic strands that deliver digital data using light. Not all "Fiber" connections reach the subscriber address, however. Some switch to to copper cables in the "last mile." Consequently, not all fiber connections offer true "gigabit" speeds. DSL is transmitted by twisted copper telephone wires, and is sold by corporations such as EarthLink that historically provided phone service. The twisted copper bundle makeup seen in telephone wires allows for lower performance compared to cable and significantly less than fiber.

Data Cap Issues and Cord Cutting Around Gulf Breeze
Data collected by our researchers shows that many of the common ISPs currently use data caps on home broadband connections.
