Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual residences and businesses to provide unprecedented high-speed Internet access. Fiber uses light signals to transmit data. It provides a much faster connection speed and carrying capacity than twisted pair conductors, DSL, or coaxial cable. At speeds up to 10 Gigabit per second, fiber Internet delivers faster downloads and uploads with no buffering.
