If you are going to use the below I would recommend signing up for a fiber optic line.
- Watching high-definition video
- Playing Internet games
- Uploading videos to the Internet
- Sharing the Internet with others.
Fiber optic lines are high-speed, high-capacity Internet connections.
It is suitable for operation methods such as high-definition video, Internet gaming, shared use by multiple people.
This page contains the following information about fiber-optic lines.
- Fast download and upload performance
- Low ping value (response time)
- High-capacity and high-speed Internet connection performance
Internet Speed and Internet Service
Fiber optic line is an Internet connection using optical fiber.
Previously, fixed Internet lines were metal cables using telephone lines or ADSL.
Compared to copper cables, fiber optic lines switch electrical signals (binary signals) 100 times faster, resulting in faster Internet speeds.
bps “bit per second”
When looking at Internet performance, it is measured in bps.
It is difficult to understand the unit of 1 Gbps for Internet speed.
The bps stands for “bits per second.
In other words, it means how many bits of data can be transferred in one second.
An Internet optical fiber line is theoretically an Internet connection with a speed of 1 Gbps or higher.
(In practice, the speed at which a 1 Gbps line can operate is 200 to 300 Mbps.)
This unit of measure is 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps = 1000000 kbps.
Internet speeds required for Internet service
Internet service requires Internet speeds that are appropriate for it.
Make sure you sign up for the right Internet service for the Internet service you want to use.
Internet speed required for download
| E-mail, LINE (Messenger app) | 128Kbps〜1Mbps |
| Viewing web pages Low quality video (you tube 144p~480p) | 1Mbps~3Mbps |
| video chat (Line,Skype) Downloading mobile phone apps | 3～5Mbps |
| Online games※Influenced by ping High quality video （you tube 720p-1080p） | 5〜10Mbps |
| Super high quality video 4K Video | 20Mbps |
The recommended speeds for Netflix and other VOD are as follows.
It is almost the same as you tube.
※Netflix
Minimum connection speed is 0.5 Mbps
Basic connection speed is 3.0 Mbps
HD quality is 5.0 Mbps or higher
4K (UHD quality) 25Mbps or higher
This is the speed you need to upload photos and videos from your device to the Internet
Internet speed required for download
| Uploading documents to e-mail and SNS | 1Mbps |
| Photo upload to SNS | 3Mbps |
| Video upload to SNS | 10Mbps |
What Internet connection do you need?
“How will you use the Internet?””
You should sign up for the Internet with care and consideration.
The future is called Iot (internet of things).
In the past, computers were just connected to the Internet.
Now cell phones, video games, and televisions are also connected to the Internet.
In the future, cars, refrigerators, and everything else will be connected to the Internet.
Considering the future, it is recommended to sign up for an optical fiber line.
But you live alone, don’t play internet games, make video calls, or watch a little you tube.
If you live that kind of life, you don’t need to sign up for an expensive, installation-intensive fiber optic line.
You can sign up for a mobile wifi or sim card and then use your cell phone or mobile wifi to go online.
Please take a look at this site about mobile wifi and sim card.
Download, upload, ping “Meaning of Internet Terms”
There are many words you may not know when using the Internet.
Here are the words you need to know when you need fast Internet.
Download, upload
“Download” and “upload” are terms used to describe the direction in which data moves on the Internet.
Download is the act of receiving data from the Internet on your device.
Viewing a web page or watching a YouTube video falls under the category of downloading.
Upload refers to sending data from your device to the Internet.
Sending an email or sending a picture falls under uploading.
When using the Internet, “download” speed is more important than “upload” speed. This is because large data transmissions are often downloads.
Ping
Ping is the response time from the server.
To use a catch-ball analogy, the speed of a ball being thrown and returned is the “line speed” (bps).
ping is the speed from the time the other party receives the ball until it is thrown back.
It is generally expressed as “ms”; the smaller the ms, the faster and the smaller the error in response to commands given to the device.
For example, if the speed is 8 ms and 20 ms, the speed of 8 ms is less likely to cause errors in response to commands.
Ping is important for the FPS type of Internet game.
FPS is represented by Apex Legends and Fortnite.
It is a shooting game in which you fight from the perspective of a game character.
FPS games are played by many people at the same time, and FPS games require quick reactions.
For this reason, FPS games require a low ping.
When the ping is high, the Internet game suddenly starts to act like a broken robot.
And before the player knows it, he or she is attacked and the game is over.
New Internet standards IPV6, IPV4 over IPV6, IPoE
Old Internet standards IPV4, PPPoE
Ipv4 、Ipv6
IPV4 is a standard that has been used on the Internet since the late 1990s.
Each device connected to the Internet is assigned a unique number, called an IP address, to identify the computer.
IPv4 represents this IP address as 32 bits of data.
The total number of IPv4 addresses is 32 to the power of 2, or 4,294,967,296.
This means that up to approximately 4.3 billion devices can connect directly to the Internet.
However, these 4.3 billion addresses cannot give Internet addresses to everyone in the world.
Ipv4 is not compatible with this new era.
The newly created standard is IPV6.
IPV6 is the total number of IP addresses to the 128th power of 2.
This is a virtually infinite number. Many ipv6s have been developed for the coming age of iot.
It would be sufficient to give 1 trillion addresses to people all over the world.
Pppoe , Ipoe
PPPoE is an old system that applies the telephone line principle to the Internet.
PPPoE always requires a connection from the Internet to the user’s wifi router, etc. via a device called a nte (network terminating equipment).
This is like building a barrier at the finish line of a highway. The high-speed information gets congested at the nte and proceeds to the exit (the user’s wifi) in turn.
This traffic jam slows down the speed of the Internet connection.
The theoretical internet speed of PPPoE is 200 Mbps.
Ipoe is a system designed to use the Internet connection.
The Internet, the user, and the provider’s machine are all connected to the same standard.
Therefore, there is no need for information conversion.
Information can be exchanged smoothly at high speed.
It is like the Autobahn in the case of highways, where you can go from the highway to the public road without going through a toll booth.
And there is no traffic jam.
Ipoe’s Internet speed is theoretically up to 100 GBps.
This is 500 times faster than PPPoE.
ipv4 over ipv6
PPPOE and IPOE had major problems.
ipv4 over ipv6 was created to solve these problems.
The conclusion is that ipv4 over ipv6 is the fastest fiber-optic connection available today.
“IPOE makes all the Internet fast,” you may think.
However, there is a difficult problem in making everything IPOE.
ipoe can only connect to ipv6．
And PPPOE can connect to Ipv4 and Ipv6.
This was the big problem.
Let me explain in more detail.
For a long time and until recently, ipv4 addresses have been used.
Many homepages on the Internet today are made with IPV4.
The only connection method to these homepages was PPPoE.
Since most of the world’s Internet is IPV4, newer and faster IPOE could not be used.
To use a road analogy
From the IPOE high speed road you can see new houses (IPV6) but not many houses (ipv4).
So you can’t take your stuff (data) with you.
On the old and slow normal road of PPPOE, many old houses (IPV4) and new houses (IPV6) are visible.
So we had to drive slowly to each house to deliver the package (data).
This was the situation.
IPV4 over IPV6 is an improvement over such a situation.
This is a technology that packages IPV4 addresses from above and makes them look like IPV6.
To be precise, “IPv4 over IPv6” uses a technology called “encapsulation” that makes IPv4 packets look like IPv6 packets, and IPV4 is connected using the IPoE method.
When this is done, the IPV4 house can be seen from the IPoE on the highway and the packets (data) can be delivered to the IPV4 house.
ipv4 required user authentication.
When connecting to the Internet, the user must enter a user name (ID) and password provided by the provider.
This input authorization process causes congestion on the line. And it slows down your Internet speed!
If you are going to sign up for an optical fiber line, please use “IPv6 (IPoE + IPv4 over IPv6)”.
Some optical fiber companies may use “IPv6, PPPoE” or “IPv6 IPoE only” + “IPv4 PPPoE” standards.
This will result in slow Internet speeds.
Please be careful.
Summary
| IPv6 (IPoE + IPv4 over IPv6) | Always fast |
| IPv6 (IPoE) + IPv4 (PPPoE) | Sometimes fast, sometimes slow |
| IPv6 (PPPoE) + IPv4 (PPPoE) | Always slow |
Wifi6
When you sign up for fiber optic internet, you need to buy a Wifi router.
If you buy a wifi router, you should buy a Wifi6 home router, Ipv6, IpoE standard.
This is because Wifi6 is the newest and fastest standard.
Currently, wifi6 is the newest wifi router .
However, there are also wifi4 and wifi5 on the market, including used ones.
wifi6, wifi5, and wifi4 are the generational designations for wifi.
The exact names are as follows.
| Generation | alias | standard | bandwidth | theoretical speed |
| Generation 6 | wifi6 | IEEE802.11ax | 5gh 2.4gh | 9.6Gbps |
| Generation 5 | wifi5 | IEEE802.11ac | 5gh | 6.93Gbps |
| Generation 4 | wifi4 | IEEE802.11n | 5gh,2.4gh | 600Mbps |
The 5 GHz radio band is stable and fast. However, 5 GHz is weak against obstacles.
The 2.4GHz band can reach far. However, 2.4GHz is weak against other radio waves.
WIFI6 also has high security features.
Choose a WIFI router that supports wifi6 and IPV6 as shown in the picture below.
Notes.
If you are using a wifi4 device, the performance of a wifi6 router will be wifi4.
If the wifi router and device are different standards, it will be adjusted to the lower performing wifi standard.
The best combination is as follows
| Optical fiber company, Internet service provider | IPV4 over Ipv6 , IPOE |
| Wifi router | wifi6 , IPV6, |
| Device | wifi 6 |
