Fiber is used because more data can be transmitted over a optic cable than can be transmitted over copper. It can also be transmitted for a longer distance without degradation. Fiber networks use special switches and modems to convert data to laser signals and back again 1 Gbs is very likely. There are already networks in use that have data transmission speeds 10 times that number<br><b>References : </b><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication A fiber network is a network where the data is encoded on laser beams and transmitted over fiber optic cables.
