The best fiber optic cables can carry up to 60 terabits of information every second. Have a network installation project? How Does Fiber-Optic Cable Bandwidth Work? Fiber-optic cable bandwidth transmits. Measured in megabits per second (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps), these speeds determine how fast you can download, upload, stream, or game online. This wire goes from your house to the ISP and connects to a local server. This local server serves users like you in your region/area.
