Fiber optic is a type of broadband connection consisting of or using thin flexible fibers with a glass core using light signals that can be sent with very little loss of strength.
Fiber optic uses glass core jacketed cables to transmit data using light signals to transmit an internet signal. Cable and DSL use copper cables to transmit data using an electrical internet signal. Fiber is the industry gold standard, and is a more effective method to transmit larger amounts of data when compared to the older methods such as cable and DSL.
Wi-Fi refers to a hotspot or an area that you can use to connect to the internet wirelessly. You can set up a Wi-Fi hotspot at a specific location, like a park or an event. Or you can use a Wi-Fi router in your home to connect to your internet wirelessly.
