There are pros and cons to fiber Optics

As with anything, there are pros and cons to fiber Optics when compared to its competitors.

DSL Pros
Low Fiscal and Environmental Costs: DSL does the least amount of damage, both environmentally and economically. Copper cables can usually be found even in the most rural of areas because it was originally laid for telephone connections. The cables can be reutilized, so new building projects are not necessary.

Fiber optic infrastructure or wireless towers can be expensive, and come at the added price of natural habitats, not to mention added Co2 emissions. On the other hand, fiber infrastructure doesn’t require electricity, which is very eco-friendly. Of all the competitors, cable produces the least data for most electricity.

Availability: Again, copper cables have already been laid in most areas for telephone use so, as long as they are in good condition, reusing them to create Internet service is fairly simple. At this time, fiber optic Internet isn’t available in many rural areas, but bringing faster and more reliable Internet to rural America is becoming a growing priority for both municipalities and providers.
