Most people who use the internet today want it to go fast, be worry-free and always work as it should. This is especially important if you have a job that requires an internet connection and that may require a certain pace. The pace and connection you have on your internet looks a little different.

There are many who work from home, especially during the pandemic and then it is important to have an internet that is both fast and works as it should. To get a good speed on your internet, you can make use of fiber-broadband. If you do not already have fiber connected to your villa, it can be good to think about whether it may not be time for such an investment now.

What is broadband and how does it work?

To connect a device to the internet, a device can for example be a computer, a tablet or a mobile phone, you use a broadband. Broadband is the technology that connects the device you have to the internet. With broadband, you can get data transfer at a higher speed because a broadband allows several signals simultaneously.

The bandwidth of a broadband is measured in bits per second and is, in contrast to narrowband communication, high. The availability of broadband and the speed that can be delivered depends on where you are in the country and what infrastructure is available right there. Before deciding who to buy broadband from, you need to find out what choices are available at the address you are at.

The broadband that is connected to a specific address is called fixed broadband. They require a fixed mounting and are wired. If you want a broadband that you can take with you, you should instead choose a mobile broadband. This is especially a good alternative if you travel a lot and want to be able to connect where you are. Coverage and speed can, however, be of slightly varying quality.

Broadband via fiber

The absolute best option for those who surf a lot at home is a broadband via fiber. With such broadband, you surf both stably and quickly, but you can not take the broadband to, for example, the summer cottage if you want to. When you choose a broadband connection via fiber, the connection is not affected by either weather, wind or other external factors.

With broadband, you can also surf many at the same time, because the connection and speed are not affected by it. With mobile broadband, on the other hand, both speed and availability are affected by how many people are in and surfing at the same time. This means that if there are many in the household, you can get a slower data transfer.

A maximum speed for a mobile broadband is around 60 Mbit per second, with fiber you instead have a maximum speed of 1000 Mbit per second. This means that you can do almost anything online without encountering any problems. Many people who experience problems with downloading movies, for example, will find that with broadband via filters, it is no longer a problem.

How does fiber work?

With the help of light pulses, the fiber cable sends signals and at a speed without competition, it sends lots of information over very long distances. Optical fiber is today the only known technology that can handle the digital services in the future.

In addition to the advantage of speed that can not be compared with anything else, it is an investment in the house to install fiber. Those who buy a home in the future will be careful that there is fiber connected in the house. This means that the price of the villa can increase if there is fiber installed.

With fiber, you get greater operational reliability and better quality than with any other solution. Fiber also makes it possible to do many things at once without affecting speed. So you can download large files, play games, surf and stream high definition movies without any impact.

Working from home for various reasons while the children in the family want to stream a film or need to study will thus not be a problem. Fiber is a very good solution if there are many in the family who surf at the same time and do not want the speed to be affected.

Cost of broadband

The biggest advantage of a mobile broadband compared to broadband via fiber is that it is significantly cheaper. You can get mobile broadband for a few hundred bucks a month. If you do not have fiber drawn into your house but have to install it yourself, you can count on a cost of around SEK 30,000 for it.

If you already have fiber withdrawn, it will be cheaper because you avoid the installation cost. As with everything else you have to buy, it is good to compare prices before you decide. Look at what the different providers offer you and then check out what you need to pay for it.
