How does fiber internet work 0ms ping

Snazzy Labs upgrades to fiber. Learn what different types of fiber networks exist, how they work, and the effects they have on your network speeds and ping time.

On this episode of Snazzy Labs, we install fiber internet and explain what FTTX means, the difference between AON and PON optical networks, and why Active Ethernet is going to be an awesome solution for us. How to get faster internet? How to get lower ping time? This is how. Gigabit speeds and sub-1ms ping time to the rescue!

Couple things!
Gigabit is not crazy. I know thats hard for 99% of you, I had dial-up until highschool, 2009. I know. At my job, our PON was running 1Gb down, 250Mb up residential and business 500Mb up, with availability for 10G when we began installing in 2018 from day one. Base price was $99/mo plus install.
When you bent that cable your service didn't slow down, it actually quit. Since the signal is optical-digital it's on or off. The cable might have broke too, I'd definitely not use it and I'm sure you won't. It worked afterwards because it's going a short distance and the break doesn't actually stop the signal dead. the cracks are like the surface of water, light can go through but the signal integrity is diminished. Put a VFL (visual fault locator) laser tester on it and that spot will always glow, but more when bent (light escaping the buffer tube).

For example in my home right now, I have 2 FTTC connections that present RJ11, those cables connect into a single 'EVX' via an SFP VDSL2 modem that aggregate the two 55/10 connection speeds to a total of 108mbps download (there is 2mbps taken for overheads) and 19mbps upload (2mbps for overheads). Each broadband link is with a different ISP, so if one network were to fail, my connection still carries on without even noticing a drop in a VoIP call, so we provide not only a massive boost in speeds but also resilience. The SD-WAN side of our services in a WHOLE other subject.
The single device I'm using also has an integrated 4G SIM with modem so if both links were to fail, the 4G kicks in and tunnels to our core network, keeping me connected with the same public WAN IP. The device also does 802.11ac and I'll soon be upgrading that to ax once my supplier can provide me with a large batch of the Wi-Fi modems. ... 1
For this awesome informative and Educational video. I am waiting for the isp tour. I have always wondered how these things works.
Thanks again. 1
Me with 2mb/s dsl internet: -_- 386
Good work man! ... 6
meanwhile me: internet that barely hits 1.5 Mbps 171
. Also the bending of individual fiber help locate fiber when splicing in a case out doors.
YouTube: please check your internet connection.

They have 1 Gbps down, I sync at 100/40, but sinch I'm on a 'budget plan', I'm capped to 50/20. I pay €30 for a landline, TV and internet, they pay slightly more than double.
I prefer DSL so much over cable, it feels just so much snappier + you don't share your connection with anyone.
My ping times are usually 5 - 7 ms and jitter is always under 1 ms, often even under 0,1.
My parent's (cable) ping times were always 11 - 16 and jitter was often around 5 ms, only dropping to 2,5 after the evening. To be fair, because we live in the middle of nowhere, the cable is shared with the entire neighborhood. In other area's, they usually run 2 or 3 cables. Since they get gigabit, I also noticed speeds drop from 960 Mbps to 840 worst case when the network's busy. When they had 200 Mbps, you could barely notice other people were using the cable.
What's ridiculous though is upload. They only get 40 Mbps upload (probably because the cable company knows for stability reasons, the phone company doesn't allow more than 40 Mbps upload on DSL). That's insane. If I dropped TV, I'd have the same upload speeds for the price I'm paying now!
I live in a country in Europe where they've been ridiculously slow to roll out fiber (mainly because DSL and cable are available to pretty much everyone and pretty decent, a lot of countries like France that had crappy networks decided to switch to fiber straight away instead of upgrading their existing networks). If I could get it, I'd get 500/100 for the same €30 from my current provider or €35 for 1000/1000 from another fiber network, but it'll take forever and especially in my street...
50 Mbps upload is currently the fastest I can get via a provider that offers internet and TV over LTE, but ping times are usually a little over 20 ms and it's just not as stable as a wired connection.
Upload is getting so much more important than download. I know there are hardware limitations, but ISP's should get that.
Edit: forgot to mention, I think in the Netherlands the phone company replaces copper pairs with individual fiber lines, which I'd prefer. In my country, it's gpon, though. It's also stupid that there's literally fiber running to the little cabinets from the cable and phone company in my street... like would it be so hard to run fiber from those things to people's houses? :p ...

Something people need to remember when it comes to SFPs and DACs is that many network equipment manufacturers won't support 3rd party modules and will either refuse to look at support tickets until you buy a 1st party module or will actually completely invalidate your warranty citing potential damage caused by the unsupported module. It's a lot of fun when you update the OS on your switch or firewall and find they've removed support for your 3rd party module.
Regarding how much you can bend the cable before you lose signal, it's generally called the bend radius and is due to the fact that fibre is a small strand of glass and bending it attenuates the light to the point where none of it reaches the other side. Bend it too much/far and you're liable to snap the glass and lead to a lot of light leaking out of the cable. Interestingly the way the switch functions is that it records the light level as a power level (Rx and Tx) measured in milliamps and dBm.
For your ping, it's not really representative to ping what is effectively your local network on the WAN side of your router as you'd expect that to be the shortest round trip time, especially if all you're pinging is your gateway address (which would be 1 hop). I would ping something like a server within your country but not on your ISP network to force it into making several hops, which you can see the latencies of each hop if you use the traceroute/tracert command to determine where your connection is getting the latency from. Keep in mind you get those sorta low latencies when you ping an IP on your internal subnet, usually represented in windows as "<1 ms".
I've been getting 10G net connections set up in our offices and I'm looking forward to bringing them online soon :D ...
Am super dead!🤣🤣🤣💀() 3
