Connect to Roll Out 2 Lakhs Optical Fiber Links in Punjab and Chandigarh


By Tricitynews
Chandigarh 01st April, 2019:- Connect Broadband is rolling out a comprehensive plan to connect over 2 lakh households in Punjab and Chandigarh with fiber-optics in the next two months.
The future ready technology, Fibre to the Home (FTTH), offers delivery of communicational signal over optical fiber replacing existing copper wires and coaxial cables with clear advantage of higher bandwidth to customers which enables higher speed for internet, video, and voice services.
Connect has already delivered optical fibre connectivity to homes and businesses in the state, the next phase of 2 lakh households is now being offered through an attractive franchise model share offering to the entrepreneur.
India has only 0.5% penetration of optical fibre in the country with Singapore at 95%, South Korea with 93% and Hongkong at 71%,
When the entertainment at home is being offered on the net through various digital channels like Prime Video, Netflix and Youtube, DSL or cable modems are unable to cope up with the speed required to access this entertainment without buffering.
Normal data modems deliver up to five megabits per second on the download (and are generally slower when uploading) and current fiber optic technology can provide two-way transmission speeds of up to 100 megabits per second.
