Technologies for Sorgenia fiber
Before explaining in detail theoffer for the optical fiber of Sorgenia, it seems only right to explain to you how this technology works and why it is faster, more convenient and more respectful of the environment than the classic ADSL.
Let's start from the basics, namely from how a fiber optic cable is composed. Well, optical fiber is a cable made up of very thin transparent fiberglass filaments held together in a small sheath of insulating material. This composition allows the data to travel at much higher speeds and without the typical signal dispersions of the classics copper cables (called “twisted pairs”) used for ADSL.
Translated into numerical terms, a network made entirely of optical fiber - such as that of Sorgenia - can reach a speed of 1 Gbps (1.000 Mbps) downstream, while a classic copper ADSL network cannot exceed 20 Mbps.
It does not take a computer expert to understand that this is an abysmal difference, capable of significantly changing the way in which it is possible to work, enjoy multimedia content and communicate online. Just think that with the optical fiber you could watch movies, even in 4K / UltraHD, in streaming without blocks; support video calls with many people at the same time without annoying interruptions and download applications, games and other very heavy files in a few moments, where with the ADSL network everything would be slow and subject to frequent interruptions (streaming in 4K / UltraHD, then, would be totally unsustainable due to low bandwidth).
However, we must be careful about the composition of fiber optic networks. A network made entirely of optical fiber, such as the one proposed by Sorgenia, is defined FTTH (Fiber To The Home), as it provides that the connection is made entirely with fiber optic cables from the control unit to the user's home (or at least up to the building). It ensures maximum speed (up to 1 Gbps) and is more sustainable from an environmental point of view, as it provides the maximum possible energy efficiency.
There are, however, "mixed" solutions proposed by operators other than Sorgenia, defined FTTC (Fiber To The Cabinet) o FTTS (Fiber To The Street), in which the connection from the control unit to the street cabinet is made in optical fiber, while the connection from the street cabinet to the user's home is made with the classic copper cable of ADSL networks. In these cases, as expected, there is a lower network speed (typically up to 100 Mbps downstream), lower stability and lower energy efficiency.
Well: now you know why it is important to inform yourself well before signing up for a new Internet offer and why it is recommended to choose an FTTH offer, such as that of Sorgenia which offers speeds up to 1 Gbps with optimal network conditions even during simultaneous use. of multiple users, rather than other types of connections.
Environmental sustainability of the Sorgenia fiber
As already pointed out above, Sorgenia cares very much about the environmental issues: guaranteeing the energy and services necessary for daily living and, at the same time, fighting climate change is one of the main missions of the company.
In fact, all Sorgenia plants are built with a technology that guarantees maximum environmental compatibility, for example by halving C02 emissions, with a natural gas combined cycle. At the same time, it constantly works to build new plants from renewable sources using the most advanced technologies from an ecological point of view.
Also Sorgenia's fiber is "green", as it is based on an FTTH network made of 100% optical fiber (therefore with a glass fiber cable that reaches the users' home) and without the use of supporting copper cables. The advantages given by the use of optical fiber are innumerable, from transport to installation, through maintenance and disposal at the end of its life. Not to mention the fact that the extraction of copper has a negative impact on the whole environment surrounding the mining areas, with also harmful repercussions on the health of those who work in that area (due to the long exposure to harmful materials and the conditions of almost always precarious work).
Fiber, then, ensures maximum energy efficiency, with savings ranging between 40 and 60% compared to classic ADSL or mixed fiber-copper networks. Also, through the app MySorgenia for Android and iPhone / iPad, the community made up of the operator's customers is also involved in actions capable of reducing the environmental impact. For example, it is possible calculate your "carbon footprint", that is the impact you have on the environment, by answering simple questions about your lifestyle.
The loyalty program should also be emphasized Greeners which, through a collection of points, makes available to members many prizes, including bicycles and shopping vouchers for the most popular stores, plus many sustainable premiums: from the possibility of planting trees and reducing one's CO2 impact to donating water to families in serious difficulty, passing through actions aimed at protecting species at risk of extinction.

In short: if you too - as I hope - have green issues at heart, you could find in Sorgenia a valid solution to speed up your home line and, at the same time, save not only in terms of costs on the bill but also in terms of impact on the environment.
