fiber_opticsHow fast is ultrabroadband? We found a demonstration link that really makes the differences between the old choices and the next generation clear.


Click onthe link below to show the relative speeds of traditional communication connections like dialup modems, ISDN and DSL and compare them to 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps ultra-broadband fiber connections.

After clicking the link below select Run and, if a Security Warning pops up, just ignore and select Run. It's safe!

After Fiber Speed starts:

  • Select a type of application/data for ‘Consumer', ‘Business' or ‘Society'
  • Click the ‘Start'-button to display the speeds of the different types of connection for the selected data
  • Watch the results
  • If desired, click the ‘Stop'-button to see the end results directly

Run Fiber Speed
