Fiber optics are slower than microwave, and the routes aren't as straight.
- tormeh 10y agoI'm being pedantic but microwave just has lower latency. Bandwidth is definitely down compared to fiber.
- dahdum 10y agoI wondered about that, but since microwaves in air are 50% faster moving than the light through fiber it seemed correct. Probably should have said "Light through fiber optics is slower than microwaves in air".
