Broadband internet providers offer customers ADSL, Fiber and VDSL modem connection options. These are options that are popular all over the world. While there are so many options, understanding the difference between them makes it easy to get the internet service that suits you best. As a user, we do not have to know how the internet reaches our home, but knowing the intricacies of a technology entering our home can provide some advantages. For example, we can become a more informed consumer when talking to the service provider company. So what’s the difference between ADSL, Fiber and VDSL modem? What is an ADSL modem? ADSL, which stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is a type of DSL connection that uses the frequency of voice calls on a regular copper telephone line. The best part of this type of connection is that no extra line is required to connect to the house. With ADSL modems, you can get connection speeds up to 24 MBpS. Of course, this speed may vary depending on the quality of the cable coming to your home and the distance from the source to your home. What is a VDSL modem? VDSL, which has the Very-High-Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line extension, has 10 times faster upload and 5 times faster download speed than ADSL. The highest download speed you can get with VDSL modem is 125-150 MBpS. Of course, in order to get this speed, you must first have a VDSL connection close to your home. Even if you buy a VDSL modem, you can get the maximum ADSL speed. What is a fiber modem? Fiber network, which is normally abbreviated as UFB (Ultra-Fast Broadband – Ultra Fast Bandwidth), is the fastest form of the internet currently available on a consumer basis, of course, also the most expensive. If the source around your home has Fiber infrastructure support, you can get download speeds up to 1 GBpS. However, the generally owned download speed remains at 300 MBpS. Which of the VDSL, Fiber and ADSL modems to choose? When choosing ADSL, Fiber and VDSL modems, the biggest bracket should be which one is supported and the price in your region. First, find out what type of connection popular internet providers provide to your region. For this, if you search for ‘infrastructure query’ Google, you can easily reach a result. Assuming that there are support for all 3 connection types in your region, there is an important criterion such as price to decide which one to choose. If you are using the Internet only for watching social media and movies and few people are at home, the 24 MBpS ADSL modem speed will be quite sufficient and the price will be reasonable. No, if you are playing competitive games, downloading and uploading files from the internet, the most reasonable of the 3 options will be VDSL modem with 125-150 MBpS speed. Both the price is reasonable and the speed it provides is quite sufficient. As we mentioned, fiber internet is an ultra fast internet service and the most expensive one, where you can get download speeds up to 1 GBpS. Thus, we have come to the end of a Webtekno guide.
