The normal Internet access is via a fiber connection which at present operates at 1 Gb/sec up and down. The connection has operated almost without flawlessly since I got it circa 2006.

But, but, but. There is always the chance that the fiber is cut, e.g. when somebody starts digging without having obtained proper information on what already may be buried in the ground (power cables, antenna cables, telephone cables , water piping, sewage piping, you name it)
