Taking a look now at network technology in use around the area, the most widespread physical wire broadband Internet connection varieties are Cable (virtually one hundred percent coverage) and Fiber (99.01 percent coverage). Traditional cable TV corporations are where customers look for cable Internet and Wifi service, since they can use pre-existing coaxial TV wires — which already connect to most homes — to connect subscribers to the Internet. Cable often makes sense for local residents because of the strong mix of speed and value. Fiber is composed of newer Fiber-optical lines, which are composed of dense glass strands that transmit digital data as light. Fiber Internet results in better download rates and reliability, although it may switch to coaxial wiring in the "last mile" near a subscriber. As a result, not all fiber connections offer true "gigabit" performance.
