The short answer: most homes and small offices will get the fastest speed over fibre optic.<\/p>\n<p>But few people can get fibre optic where they live\u2014I can\u2019t get it at my house\u2014so one of the other services may be your best option. If you\u2019re one of the many people who can\u2019t get fibre optic but who still wants the fastest Internet service around, read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two Things That Make The Fastest Internet Service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two components of Internet speed\u2014latency and throughput (also called bandwidth).<\/p>\n<p>The lower your latency, the faster information gets to your computer from the Internet. The higher your bandwidth, the more information you can download during a particular period.<\/p>\n<p>Low latency is very important to gamers and small offices with Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones. High bandwidth is important to anyone who downloads a lot of large files, like a family with a Netflix or Hulu Plus subscription.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/tips4pc.com\/internet-tips\/whats-fastest-internet-service.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p><em>This excerpt appears with permission from Tips4PC.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to pick the fastest internet service available in your area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":37100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[834],"tags":[4411,595],"class_list":["post-49583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips4pc","tag-internet-service","tag-internet-speed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
