About DIRECTVFrequently Asked Questions
Fiber internet is a broadband connection that sends data as pulses of light through thin strands of glass instead of copper wires. Light moves through fibers that can send data at about 70% the speed of light, and fiber lines resist electrical interference and last longer than copper. These qualities enable fiber to deliver multi-gigabit internet speeds.
