This guy has done more for me than my professors
Thank you :)
Yes, It is true.
@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos No thank you brother.
Too bad it's some wrong/misleading info here. Stick to your professors.

This video should be shown by every ISP to its customers before they sell you anything. Your way of explaining the technology and details of the equipment is so easy to understand. You gave actual facts and explained how the bandwidth and connections different types of internet can have pros or cons. Best video I’ve ever watched when I’m trying to understand something. Amazing job
I feel like a grandma learning about new tech
haha,,, yeah i was upset that my internet was 10mbs/ sec and am paying $200
dizney jnr that’s a fucking scam, my guy
Supernatural edit I pay 50$ and get 25mbs/s
@@waterbottle4542 price depend on economy of scale. if company is providing only few customer then it will be expensive
@@azeemtics6613 Feel bad for you. I pay $30 for 1Gbit fiber
one the best IT channel in youtube keep it up
You make it so easy to just passively absorb this information, I feel like so many cracks in my knowledge are being filled in just binge watching your videos
Years ago, I can remember going to the local electronics Megastore and buying a 28.8 dial-up modem and remembering how it was so much faster than our 14.4. I even remember the speed of upgrading to that massive 56k modem.
I remember the day that I got proper high-speed internet installed. It was a DSL. A glorious 1.5 M down. I thought I was King of the Hill. They later upgraded that service to max out at around 7M down.
When I move back home, I moved into a rural area and because I'm so far away from all of the modern infrastructure at the only thing we had available with a wireless internet system of 1.5 m
After several years of living like it's good old 2001, we finally get upgraded a couple of weeks ago to a fibre line. I'm enjoying having internet with a maximum speed of 1500 megabits
I remember upgrading my new 330MHz Gateway PC (fastest on the market at the time) ram from 64mb to 96mb and said wow much faster.
@@dickdomain719 I am using a multimedia PC. It has a DVD writer and speakers.
I came across you videos a while ago and could not believe how compact and to the point they are. I saw everyone else telling you how great your channel and videos are so I figured i might as well get in line. Thank you for this channel it is a gem!
satellite internet: Am I a joke to you?
Everyone: Yes you are.
wait until starlink get's live
You all laugh at satellite internet until you're in darkest Cornwall and the only place you can get phone signal is on the harbour wall.
There is no satellite Internet. There is a station which has the normal DSL connection like your local DSLAM but it is made for the purpose to have a big transmitter with a plate to broadcast signal on the satellite and in return the satellite redirects the signal to its final destination. Rather to the common knowledge that Internet comes from the sky, in reality the Internet comes from the underground and beneath the ocean.
Bro I am forced to have sattlelite internet. And it's not that bad, about 10 mbit/s down and 1 mbit/s up.
Update 5/6/2021: my city finally started building fiber in my area
@@AGENT47ist Most internet comes from data-centers. Saying that it comes from the ocean is like saying it comes from the sky.
Here I am, 1:00 a.m. watching about the different types of internet cables.
I feel you 3:05 am for me haha
4:47 am haha
lol 2:34 for me
2:10 am here
1 am for me too ahahah
Wow, what a phenomenal video - the animations make it much easier to understand all concepts. And the way you explain everything in a straightforward, understandable way... Like others said, this short video gave me more than reading long articles on the topic gave me. Thank you :)
Thank you for informing me I recently got into a/v and really am intimidated by all this sometimes, this helps tremendously
I don't know if you can realize just how clear and helpful this videos are
Thank you!!!
Your videos explain things so clearly and basicly and also answers everything that is related to context. Thank you, keep up the good work!
Good video pretty accurate. Great that you discussed the difference in cable being shared bandwidth and dsl being dedicated bandwidth.
The Telephone companies have newer DSL services and offer some legit speeds. VDSL, VDSL2 and VDSL2+ with Speed Vectoring offer speed ranges up to 300mpbs down and 100mpbs up at short distances from the DSLAM (source)
Quick note - many modern "cable" companies use a hybrid fiber coax system in order to combat the slowdowns of peak times. Usually, there is less than a mile of copper before a node switches RF signals to light to carry them back to the headend.
or even to the box just outside your house. My parents have fiber running to the box on the outside wall of their house. then from there to the modem inside is copper. The apartment I live in recently installed fiber straight to the wall. So it is a direct fiber fiber connection
Wow , this guy is really gifted in explaining things...
Thanks :)
Great video. Great for beginners to get an understanding of the technology. Would be wonderful if you could also create a video that explains these concepts individually in-depth. Overall, keep up the great work!
I'm a network transport specialist. I didn't go to school for it. I've had to learn it on the fly. I script between bbus, routers, switches, picos, mw, you name it. Thanks to my team I'm learning how to do it. But your videos have helped me so much with understanding my job from a different perspective. Thank you 😊
Best IT channel ever, well worth listening to! I even downloaded a few of these clips to refresh my memory and educate myself
Came here by accident looking for something new about tech things and the difference between many things. Your video is one of the best as it comes to comprehensive, speaking speed, usefull information with no tough words but only crucial. Srry for any problem with my english. By the way even with not best quality of english language i managed to understand everything you said.
I'm currently working as an IT Intern, and I found that this series has vastly expanded my knowledge of not just networking, but also computers in general. As a visual thinker, I really really appreciate the visuals, so clean, so simple.
I was also wondering if you could perhaps provide a video talking about the types of monitors that have existed over the years, including Analog VS Digital screens.
If you work in IT and these videos expand your knowledge then God help the people that are receiving your service.
@@sliwka621 lol you are mean 😃😄

RUclips recommended me this, now i understand more on why we have crappy internet, you're awesome bro you earned a sub ✊❤️🔥
Missing is that cable systems in the US are typically HFC (Hybrid Fiber & Cable) systems.
Error: DSL is a dedicated line to the home from the main shared POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line that is shared over larger areas than most cable broadband node areas (largest shared area).
Update: Most cable companies are now offering services starting at upwards of 100Mbps and reaching as far as 1Gbps.
Excellent basic knowledge view of how these different systems work and what the technologies are that are available for internet access in the United States.
You've explained better this thing about types of internet as my 1h session with the teacher.
Every cable internet subscriber needs to know this fact with regards to the shared bandwidth in each area! This is the main reason why i stick with VSDL 🙂
I suppose that I've been quite fortunate over the past 2 years that I've had Comcast in that I haven't had bandwidth issues.
My Spectrum cable which is typically 230Mbps, NEVER drops below 220Mnps regardless of time of day!
Nice Video,great job!
However I have 3 small notes:
- Glassfibre can be much faster than 1Gbit/s but typical fiber providers only provide 1Gbits
- DSL are bundled often, e.g many cables lay together and this can also cause errors in transmission which needs to be fixed by CRC/FEC which can cause slower connections.
- DSL is in most cases isolated poorly compared to coaxial
Even tho I always recommend DSL, if Fiber is not available because the "bandwidth sharing" is really worse in cities.
i just love how you explain most of your videos. Its shades more knowledge.
I needed some info on DDNS and found your channel. That was 4 hours ago. Thank you for creating such elaborate, yet easily understandable content.
Best conversation balloon ever - "why is this AOL dialup!" Hehe. I get so much entertainment value out of your videos that the learning aspect is just extra. Awesome videos.
Thank you! It really helped me understand the difference between the three in just a matter of minutes.
Best IT channel i have ever seen. 1:20 i think it consists of a modem, router, switch and Wi-Fi access point. There isn't a Wi-Fi router.
Even today, it is still relevant. You just nailed it.
A big thank you from South Africa.
Straightforward and well detailed video, good job
Who else watches these for fun?
Clear, consise & right to the point. You deserve much more views. Thank you.
This video lined up with the chapter we are working on this week. Thanks for making everything clear
this info makes me feel less confused about internet connections...............thanks ❤
I guess you are new or maybe you are not that conversant with the internet world??

As usually awesome content, this channel never gets boring!! keep up the good work and thank you for this video!! ^_^
I know I’m 3 years late but this video is extremely informative and direct. Amazing video. Thank you kindly 🙏🏻
Big respect. Thanks a lot for the clean explanation. Not everyone able to explain like this.
Really you are awesome. .. No words to describe. . . Hope to see more videos in networking. .
Thanks for this informative video 😄 They're starting construction of a fiber-to-the-home network in my town soon (rural Germany). It's going to be an alternative to our ancient 25Mbps DSL lines.
How did the dsl 25Mbps treat you? Would you recommend it?
You will really enjoy the improved speed of the fibre connection 😊
Was hoping for a more in-depth explanation of the differences of each tech,
but this video is a great explanation for the basics.
A great video to send to your less techy family members
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am 25 year old app developer. Networking always confused me a bit. PowerCert had me understanding really really easy. Great work, great work.
I really like how these videos are put together and the information so clearly explained.
Thank you
Thank you! This was THE ONLY ONE that was easy for morons such as myself, to understand it easier!
Omg thank you so much. I couldn’t understand what my professor was teaching. Thanks for the visuals & notes, they help a lot for people who don’t speak English as a first language. Thank you 🙏🏾
I don't know why so many dislike this channel, but I find it extremely helpful. The best on RUclips. Thank you for a job well done. Extremely helpful -- even for a non-techie like me.
Probably because it is incomplete.
ISP need to understand that upload is just as important now.
Yup for gamers
Depends, the average user isn't uploading much so cutting costs ought to allow for even better download and reliability. Now, the question to me is whether they reinvest the savings on the service.
@@LuizAlexPhoenix average users such as gamers are streaming/uploading youtube videos or sending snap videos to friends/family. upload rly does matter now
Upload cost bandwidth price for ISP to pay for because the data cannot be cached as downstream.
Exactly like spectrums gigabit package...days 1000 download and 35 upload...how is that a gig connection 🤷🏽♂️
You are a great teach " The Teacher"
Thank you
Your videos are all easy to understand and well explained. Thank you so much!
Already knew all of this but this guy explains it pretty clear.
Fantastic animation and great explanation, thank you!
Thank you
Well, last year I used cable internet up to 600mbps, 3 months ago I upgraded to 1000mbps, but they said in reality it will be between 940 and 980mbps. I've tested and is true. But till 2 years ago, maximum speed was 500mbps. I think cable internet is evolving really fast in the last years, but I am sure that fiber offers the best quality, however, not every building have fiber installed into it, in that case cable is the best solution for those who want higher speed services. Greetings from Switzerland.
I love your videos dude, keep pushing!
Omg! I literally understand everything this guy says! I love it!! So clear to understand.
Thank you!!
I looked up possible electromagnetic interference sources online after watching this video and apparently rainfall can be one of them!

Thank you for your thoughtful explanation to clear up my confusion about those three different types of the internet with great animation. If it is not too personal, I would appreciate you sharing with me what kind of software are you using to make this awesome animated video with great images. Keep up the good work!
Love the visuals, they really help. This video explains are three in great detail. Thanks.
short, informative and to the point, I love it , thanks
I can't thank you enough really. But God bless you
Thanks.
Thank you! Another very informative video. Keep it up!
This was absolutely perfectly explained. A fine job!
Thank you for the video, please update it to the year 2019, where cable modems DOCSIS 3.1 can reach speeds up to 10 Gbps via TV cable.
keep it up man ! don't stop the good work
thank you for posting an explanation video on different types of internet! always been curious about the different kinds and type of internet!
You earned my subscription without even asking for it!
DSL is like magic! A simple twisted pair that's been in place for seventy years can stream hd video plus some. It just blows my mind.
I think the same!
Try fiber it's so much better than DSL and cable.
Watching this while waiting for the fiber install tech to show up.
update 1hr 43mins later - 896.84Mbps down / 1032.80Mbps up ...... its so glorious!!!!

Thank you for all the information, i understand it clearly. Keep up the amazing work.
super explanation, straight to the point and so clear! thanks
A little bit of suppliment to the video for those who want to follow a path in networking.Almost all ISPs in the world actually use fiber up to their POP (point of presence). This video is mainly discussing about the „last mile” segment of the network, so dont make the mistake of thinking that your DSL/Cable is going all the way to the ISP hundreds of miles away. For DSL the terminator is the DSLAM, for cable it is the CMTS and for fiber mostly OLT. Thats why these networks are called hybrids. With this out of the way, another thing to remember is the fact that nowadays the transport medium (coax/ethernet/twisted copper (phone), fiber and so on) are no longer relevant for the types of services it can support. Phone lines, television and internet access can all run on the same line. Another thing to keep in mind (especially if you want to get network certified) is the fact that the end device nomenclature can get very confusing (mainly just to make cosumers understand them a bit). A typical modem is actually much more than that, inside it there is an actual modem which „translates” signal ,a router behind it (which is internally connected) and behind that router „port” a switch for the lan and a „port” for a wireless access point).
Amazing Video. I love your tutorials. It's better thn 8 Hours at the school. Thank you very much. Is it possible to donate you?
This channel is excellent. i feel im learning more over here than my college classes. Saludos desde Nicaragua
THIS IS A REALLY REALLY USEABLE VIDEO FOR UNDERSTAND THE BASIC PRINCIPLES.
YOU GUYS DID VERY WELL.
👍

I just went from 5 Mbps DSL to 150 Mbps cable and Woah, I'm used to waiting maybe 12-16 hours for ~40gb to download, I've downloaded ~40gb in 3 hours and it's all been during peak time
Nice
A helpful and easy to understand overview. Thank You.
No comment, simply amazed by the explanation! Thank you.
"wow, is this aol dial up" LMAO
I'm so happy we are getting fiber internet. Our dsl connection is so slow because we live in the middle of nowhere. Somehow fiber is available in our sector
thats so nice. did you get the fiber yet ... ? .. i love my 1000/1000 fiber line ...
Fiber is so much better than DSL or cable. If you have the option to get fiber, get it.
Agree!! If you know how I struggled with years of wasting my money and getting angry on my crap 10mbps with data cap internet plan. You would cry a river too 🥺😭
Gladddd I changed and dumped the modem and cables of my old crap ISP to the garbage can where it belongs and gladly accepted Fiber internet connection with open arms 🙄🥺😭😭😭
Informative. Also bonus love for the upper right animation of a classic lighting pattern
Love the way you explain things.

Are you doing crypto and mining with those speed 😳
@@mudcrab9699 replace your crap ISP and apply for an ISP with fiber internet at the cheapest price. I'm glad I found one in my country.

I’m getting fiber internet installed on Sunday thank god my internet is so trash can’t wait for fiber
Im still waiting, 2 more month! 10+ years with 7mbps :/ want fiber so bad 😋

no one can teach as brilliantly as you sir! hats off
Just pure informative speeches, nothing fancy. Perfect!
Some people here, probably a lot, will never know the struggle of trying to download
a simple DOS game on dial up in the early 90's! Not only did it take forever, but if someone
picked up a phone in your house, you LOST the transfer, and all the time you were waiting
too! Also, you probably had connect time to pay for too! It was hell, but we loved it!!!!!! LOLOL
We had to start somewhere.
I remember playing Age of empires in MSN Gaming Zone good ol times
Spent 3 hrs to download 1.2 Meg File...Having correct download tools help you Resume.. if some pickup the home phone
Many people didn't have computers in the 90s
Cable: 25 Mbits/s - 400 Mbits/s (pretty fast speed, long range, more benefits).
DSL: 5 Mbits/s - 100 Mbits/s (average speed, normal range, less benefits).
Fiber: Above 1,000 Mbps (extremely fast speed, longest range, even more benefits).
Fiber is expensive but it is so damn good. DSL is second best. And Cable from my experience was inconsistent with speeds and had weird issues
cable in my area went up to 1000Mbps, Fibre starts at 5Mbps and goes up to 100Gbps so far from what I have read. they are all consistent speeds coax cable, xDSL and Fibre.
finally... easy to understand with visuals thank youuuuu
Much More summarized and useful than a network classroom 👍
People forget, what is probably the single most important feature and that's security, most of the cables and why they are used is for data protection and safety. Not just privacy but actual practical safety. Once you can achieve this, then look at how you can make it more efficient.
which is the safest of the 3?
May wanna update this video, some of the info is either incorrect, or out of date.
Thank God for this page! You explain it so well
