ADSL VS Fibre

Good Day

Scenario: 4Mbps ADSL Connection downloading 1GB file vs
4Mbps Fibre Connection downloading 1GB file.

Let for the sake say we life in ideal world, and there is no shaping or throttling.

Which one will download the file the fastest.

They're both 4Mbps. The fiber should be a little bit faster due to less overheads.

The greatest advantage of fiber is that it can go higher speeds than ADSL, lower latency and less maintenance required (less line faults). It usually also has higher upload speeds.

Since you don't have the same line losses as with adsl and copper, Fibre should download it a little faster.

The biggest difference between adsl, and fibre will come in with the data transfer loss due to distance from the exchange. So if you normally get on an adsl line 3.43mb/s on the speedtest, on your 4mb/s line. On fibre you will get 3.98mb/s on a 4mb/s line on fibre.
