Fiber Optic Internet...best way to connect to system
How do you make best use the ISP supplied fiber optic internet for your system? Xfinity brings the fiber optic into an Arris X5001 gateway with an SC UPC terminated cable. I currently am connecting to the ethernet ports on the gateway to supply my Bluesound Node.
Question is: Can I do better?
Fiber optic is the route to go. I have a Simaudio 680D with the Mind2 (not a slouch streamer/DAC and added fiber and it lowered the noise floor dramatically. I bought the 680 to replace my Aurender N10 that just never jelled in my system. My 18 year old daughter recommended going FO and it was an improvement for sure. |
I want to open my website on UK based server. But my internet runs too slow on the UK server. Is fiber optic internet best for it? Or should I use some different internet? Please share your review. Thanks |
BTW, I’ve been hearing Fios is really the only service that offers fiber right into the home. Could be wrong, but Consumer Reports ranks Fios higher than most other service providers. Google is a new player and seem to get really good reviews for price and performance but not available in my area so not sure. Regardless, inserting an optical connection between ur router/switch at some point before going to ur DAC or whatever seems to be a good idea. Best of luck. |
