[Tin tức] How Fiber Will Speed Up America’s Internet



Fiber connections provide users with very fast, reliable internet. But, only 43% of U.S. households have access to a fiber internet connection. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that passed in November 2021 promises to bridge this digital divide, with $65 billion dedicated to expanding access to broadband internet to all Americans. Such government support, along with a number of other factors, have caused a spike in the demand for fiber products. CNBC visited Corning, the world’s largest manufacturer of optical fiber and North America’s largest producer of fiber optic cables to understand the technology behind fiber-optic internet and how the market for fiber products is changing.

Fiber-based networks make up the majority of the internet’s backbone. Fiber-optic subsea cables spanning thousands of miles connect continents together, exchanging data at nearly the speed of light. Meanwhile, the massive data centers that host all of our cloud-based applications also rely on fiber connections. Increasingly, these fiber connections are making their way directly into peoples’ homes, providing them with fast, reliable internet. But, only 43% of U.S. households have access to a fiber internet connection.

“In some instances, particularly in rural areas and very challenging geographies, it can be prohibitively expensive to to deploy fiber and it can be very expensive for households to pay for it,” says Julija Jurkevic, a senior research analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

  2. I HAVE WORKED WITH THE WIRE SYSTEMS,AND THE FIBER SYSTEMS..I CAN TELL YOU ITS ALL A MONEY RACKET.FIBER IS GOOD FOR SOME THINGS AND BAD FOR OTHERS.WIRE IS MORE USER FRIENDLY AND MUCH CHEEPER MAINTANCE AND TOOL COSTS.FIBER FORCES YOU TO RETOOL AND PAY HIGHER WAGES FOR WORKERS LEADING TO MUCH HIGHER USER COSTS..FAILURES TAKE LONGER TO FIX,SO DOWNTIME IS HIGH.I LIKE BOTH,BUT ONCE THE WIRE IS GONE,THERE IS ONLY HIGHER COSTS AND ITS NOT COMMING BACK…

  3. Hate to spill the beans but cable Internet is only bundled with TV and phone because the providers charge less for a bundle than the individual service. It’s a lie. I would’ve gladly accepted fiber 10 years ago but it’s still not in my area.

  4. 25Mb speeds ?? Most people in Denmark have access to 1Gb (both over COAX and Fiber). I have had 1Gb/1Gb for several years and pay about 30 dollars a month. But the USA is also a very large country and population is very spread. But poor guys… its like 15 years since I hade a 50Mb line

  5. I'm from third-world country and have been using fiber-optic internet for almost 12 years now. It's super cheap here (1 Gbps = 100 USD/month, 25% off if you paid upfront for a year), with 98-99% uptime. I thought most US states had been using fiber-optic cables since early 2000.
