Fiber is capable of astonishing speeds, far beyond what mobile networks can reach. It will not be made redundant any time soon -- it will be required for the new technologies dropping in the coming years.

A decade ago, scientists were pushing 14 Terabits over 160 kilometres on a single strand of fibre. They can now send a Perabit speeds over 50 kms.

A Perabit is 1,000 Terabits. 1 Terabit is 1,000 Gigabits. People are freaking out because 5G might be able to "theoretically" do 10 or 20 Gigabits, fibre can theoretically do 1,000,000 gigabits. I'm sorry, you can't convince me that 5G will supplant fibre. Then you have data costs, which are still astronomical on mobile networks.

Sure, mobile might put fraudband in danger, but fibre is capable of insane speeds that mobile can never reach -- because of the laws of physics.
