In recent weeks, we have witnessed the success of Starlink, Elon Musk’s internet access service from anywhere in the world. With this initiative, the South African billionaire aims to provide internet access to anyone no matter where they are. After a rocky start, the program has now surpassed 4 million subscribers and is able to ensure its own financial stability. This joins a long-standing debate among users: is fiber, ADSL, or satellite better?
To answer the million-dollar question, we have a recent publication from the French portal JeuxVideo. It emphasizes that internet access has become an essential aspect of the daily life of many users, necessary for work, study, entertainment, and even administrative tasks. Not all households in Spain have the same internet access, so some must consider between high-speed fiber optic, ADSL, or satellite, it’s important to know what each option offers and which is the most interesting.
ADSL remains the standard in many locations
Essentially, fiber optic provides the opportunity to take advantage of ultra-fast connection that has democratized high-speed internet access in many areas of Spain. ADSL remains the standard in locations where fiber optic is not available but offers a slower connection speed than fiber optic, which can be problematic in aspects like gaming. Lastly, satellite internet offered by companies like Starlink has become an interesting option for rural or remote areas without fiber or ADSL infrastructure.
Considering that internet access has become a basic necessity, each user’s preferences and the type of usage will determine the best option for them. Web browsing requires low latency, but activities like video conferences or large downloads require high and stable bandwidth. Therefore, where available, fiber optic will always be the best option, but the digital divide still results in some areas relying on ADSL or satellite connections.
