Fiber optic has become a technology that telecommunications companies offer to their customers because of the needs they provide.

Unlike coaxial cable, companies offer fiber optic as a way to achieve a stable and evenly distributed connection.

The diversification of streaming services means that user needs are shifting towards getting higher speed at a lower cost. A few years ago, thinking about more than 100 megabytes could be considered a luxury, but now it has become a minimum speed.

What to analyze when contracting an internet service in Ecuador

Different platforms require a certain amount of megabytes to function smoothly, for example around 50 megabytes to deliver a high-quality image.

In fiber optic cables, signals travel in the form of light, meaning they can travel faster than other devices.

At the Ecuador level, different companies offer different speeds at similar prices. A 100 megabyte speed can be around $20, if there is a promotion associated with it that adds other services such as platform subscriptions.

The Picodi portal conducted an evaluation with 364 Internet providers from 85 countries in the world which showed that Russia is the country with the lowest price at a speed of 100 megabytes, that country accounts for a rate of 5.6 dollars for that plan . This case contrasts with Norway, which has the highest rate at $79.40.

At the South American level, Paraguay is the country with the lowest cost of the service ($13.60), while Venezuela costs the most at $44. (JO)
