How Does This Work?

Cable internet is NOT fiber optic, VERY FAR FROM IT!!!

Seems like broadbandexpert.com isn't such an expert after all

 

Edit:

 

Btw they are right in a sense, we used to use copper cabling almost entirely but fiber optic is becoming much more common, so cable modems actually can transfer data over fiber cabling in situations where it is present

I though networking was just a series of tubes...

Not what you expect to see from a website that claims to be broadband experts

Well a fiber optics can be referred to as a cable physically in itself, fiber optic cable, which is what I think they're trying to say.

well if you think about it fiber optics is just a bunch or transparent wires in one cable

 

so it can be refered to as cable too,but will probably confuse a lot of users between normal cable and fiber...
