Types of nationwide internet service technology
Fiber
Fiber is the best internet on the market today, capable of speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. Its availability is more limited than cable internet, but is growing rapidly.
Cable
Cable connections are capable of delivering speeds up to 1,200 Mbps and are available in most neighborhoods, making it a solid option for most households.
Satellite
Satellite is capable of decent speeds and is widely available, making it a great option for rural areas. The only downside is the long transmission distance, resulting in slower speeds.
5G Home Internet
5G internet uses cellular networks and fixed wireless connections to give you fast speeds at a good price. It’s relatively new, so availability is limited for now.
