After a lot of evolution, our internet connection is now fiber optic. When we started using the dial-up connection through the phone line, we were thrilled that it was happening. Remember the way it connected with beeps and tones and then slowly we got access to the internet .
Then the next step was the internet providers which gave us the service through the coaxial cable. Another jump in the speed of the data downloading and now we could watch programs and movies via the internet.
Just recently, a company has started providing the internet through fiber optic cable and now we seriously get high-speed internet. I am glad we opted for this service. It was a bit more expensive than our previous one but the benefits are great.
When we get the choice, we should opt for the latest technology if we can afford it. It enhances our experience.

I found my cost even went *down* back when I went fibre, just because I moved from an old tariff. Although I didn’t really gain anything from the upgrade, because it was already “fast enough”.

Fiber is seamless and hassle free too.

Because we are in the middle of nowhere it tends to be get what you are given. No cheaper options.

That’s true when no options are available.

We’ve always followed the “buy the best you can afford” philosophy in tech. It’s saved us money in the long run because we don’t have to upgrade as often.

I think it is the right way to go about it.

Ours is still cable, but it’s fast enough. And it handles the 3 of us using it at once. I actually don’t even know what it costs.🤷🏼♀️ Daughter pays that bill😂

I agree. I used to be cheap about it. Not any more.

I too remember the dial-up connection and all the beeps. Ha! SLOW. I’ve had the fiber optic tech previously. Excellent. Nice post, Sadje.
