Fiber optics: Let’s separate the hype from the facts.

So what are fiber optics anyway?
Fiber optics is a technology that uses very fine, flexible fibers to transmit digital information across vast distances. This digital information comes in the form of TV signals, Internet data and voice transmissions, and fiber-optic networks bring this information to our homes and businesses.

Are fiber optics new?
Some people would have you believe that fiber optics are literally futuristic light beams, but fiber-optic technology isn’t all that new. In fact, if you’re a Comcast customer, you, along with millions of other Comcast customers, are already connected on the only enhanced fiber-optic network* that’s up and running coast to coast.

How do I get connected?
With Comcast, your home is already enhanced fiber-optic ready. The coaxial cables running to your house connect directly to our enhanced fiber-optic network hub, so all you have to do is call us and we’ll send over a technician to hook you up quickly and painlessly.

So what’s so great about Comcast’s fiber-optic network?
Comcast has more TV/Internet/phone customers than any other network in the country. With our coast-to-coast enhanced fiber-optic network, you get the best of three worlds. First, you get unbeatable digital TV programming with the most HD whenever you want, tons of On Demand programming, premium and local channels, digital music channels and loads more. Second, Comcast’s fiber-optic network blasts you through the Net with speeds that keep getting faster. And, finally, you get reliable phone service that costs less. Not bad, huh?

We hope this helps demystify fiber-optic technology.
