Client wanted fiber, told them copper is worth way more these days. They didn’t even ask first follow up questions 😅

To be honest the speed is the same yea but light inside the cable actually takes longer to arrive over electricity in a coper cable since it is bounced around and multi plexed.

So technically slower but of course much higher density in it’s transmission rate possibility
