Introduction
If you’re tired of buffering, dropped Zoom calls, or slow file uploads, it may be time to upgrade your internet. In Cameroon, two of the most common types of internet connections are Fiber and DSL. But what’s the difference, and why is fiber the better choice—especially in fast-growing cities like Buea, Limbe, and Douala?
Let’s break it down.
1️⃣ What is DSL?
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) uses your existing copper telephone lines to deliver internet. It’s been around for years and is still used in many homes and businesses.
Pros:
-
Uses existing infrastructure
-
Available in many older buildings
Cons:
-
Slower speeds
-
Signal weakens over long distances
-
Less reliable during bad weather
2️⃣ What is Fiber Internet?
Fiber internet uses optical fiber cables to transmit data as light. This allows for lightning-fast speeds and highly stable connections.
Pros:
-
Download & upload speeds up to 1 Gbps
-
More reliable and consistent
-
Ideal for streaming, gaming, remote work, and business operations
Cons:
-
May not be available in all rural areas (yet!)
3️⃣ Why Fiber is Better in Cameroon
With increasing demand for online education, remote work, streaming, and digital business, speed and stability are non-negotiable. Fiber delivers on both.
