Taking a look at network technology available around the area, we see that the most common wired broadband technology infrastructures are Satellite (close to one hundred percent coverage) and Fiber (98.45 percent coverage). Fiber technology uses newer fiber-optic cables, which are composed of dense glass strands which can deliver digital data as light. Fiber network technology results in stronger speed, but in some cases may switch to older copper cables in the "last mile" near a subscriber. Copper-based last mile connections slow speeds, but they are still usually faster than regular cable/DSL.
