Cable internet is similar to a water pipeline. The more taps on the line the less the water (data) flow. Fiber connections are are more direct. However some (AT&T) seem to restrict data speeds at times. I have had all types of services. Currently I have Google fiber (NC) and they are by far the best 1gig for $80/mo. The other services(cable & AT&T) have reduced rates trying to compete. As far a service I have never had better service. I even received a rebate on my bill for down time which I did not even know occurred. Never had that happen with cable. Had to argue for 6 months for a refund with prior cable service. Google recently added 2gig service in my area.
