Fibre internet is a type of internet connection that transfers data using fibre optic cables which transfer light signals from one point to another using strands of thin plastic or glass. These connections enable faster signal transfer compared to traditional coaxial cables that use copper conductors to transfer electrical signals. The light can travel long distances without degrading and carry a lot of data. Fibre internet can achieve faster speeds of up to 10 Gbps or even faster in some circumstances. Major ISPs in Canada such as Rogers, TELUS, and Bell Canada have developed fibre internet networks. Smaller ISPs can buy services wholesale from these fibre networks and resell them to their clients.
