Cool Ideas Air Fiber

[Faziki]

Hello!

Cool ideas can offer air fiber in my area, and I would like to know if its any good and how does it work ? I am thinking of taking the R 449 package which is the 20/2 connection

Air fiber is a marketing term.

The air fibre depends on the real fibre for backhaul, lol. Jokes aside, if you have no good "real" fibre options,
you can give it a try.

The Frogfoot air works almost identical to the normal fibre

The air product just has a few restrictions:

• Max 10m range - this can be affected by thick walls, mirrors, appliances, fishtanks etc
• Cannot add extenders
• Is WiFi only - cannot connect LAN cable

The Air product is more aimed at smaller bachelor flats / holiday homes where connectivity is only needed in a specific part of a home

1. If my computer is connected to fibre via a wifi connection does that mean that I have air fibre as well?
2. If you have an ADSL connection or dial-up (which has a fibre backhaul at the exchange) then is that copper fibre?

1. no
2. no that's just copper. Fibre is fibre optical cable.

Would love to see how support handles asking you to plug into the ONT!

I was just joking. Of course "air fibre" is complete BS
