No one said “always”; original comment is correct that fiber can literally go miles
Comment on Researchers unlock fiber optic connection 1.2 million times faster than broadband
Buelldozer@lemmy.today 6 months agoIt’s optical fiber so it’s good for miles.
OM1 through OM4 have full rate distances of less than 800 meters.
Yes there is faster stuff that goes for literal miles but saying that optical fiber can always go mile is incorrect.

To be fair it’s obviously meant that they’re talking about singlemode and not multimode.
