ADSL or fiber: what difference ?

Allowing you to access the Internet in high speed, the ADSL and the fiber have many differences. Technology, flows, coverage, packages. Here is our comparison.

ADSL or fiber: two different technologies

The first thing that distinguishes adsl fiber is the technology used. Marketed in France since 1999, ADSL is based on copper wires of the traditional telephone network to transport digital data. This has a major advantage: as soon as the telephone central in a neighborhood or a town is connected to the Internet, all the accommodation that depends on it and which have a fixed telephone line can have access to the Internet. Optical fiber is absolutely not based on the telephone network. It uses a glass or plastic line capable of driving light to transport the digital signal.

Decuplected flows thanks to the fiber

Arriving in French homes at the end of the 2000s, ADSL allowed access to high speed internet: in general, between 1 and 15 megabits per second (MB/) for download, and between 0.5 Mb/s and 1 Mb/s sending data. A variable flow depending on the quality of the telephone line, the distance between the box from the telephone central, or the type of connection chosen (Ethernet cable or WiFi). This average flow is however faster on the ADSL 2+, VDSL or VDSL 2 lines, three technologies derived from ADSL up to 100 Mb/s for the shortest VDSL lines). In addition, the ADSL is asymmetrical: the upward speed (data emission) is lower than the downhill flow (data reception). Thanks to its glass or plastic wire, the fiber optics provides much faster flows than ADSL. At Bouygues Telecom, the connection speed can this time reach up to 2 gigabits per second (GB/S) in data reception, and up to 900 Mb/s sharing data. Downloading the movie of your vacation or sending a photo album takes only a few seconds, watching ultra high definition television becomes possible, playing in a network is done with maximum fluidity and responsiveness. Another advantage: the signal is not sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances, and does not fade according to the distance which separates the box from the connection node located in the town or in the district. In other words, whether you are 100 meters or 500 meters from this technical room, your flow will be significantly the same.
