The benefits of a fiber optic wired network compared to current public wireless networks.There was a time when a public Wi-Fi network was synonymous with salvation.Much has happened since we depended on the telephone cable to be able to connect to the Internet.And, although it should be noted that in many rural areas access to the network of networks is still a pending issue, the truth is that we live in an era in which any smartphone attached to a data plan is capable of creating a network of wireless connection.Much has had to happen for this to be so.And it is that between connecting by cable and creating our own networks, almost a couple of decades have passed in which the words “free Wi-Fi” were the main claim of any public or commercial establishment.There were even attempts like the one in Zamora, where they wanted to turn the entire city into a kilometric public network.And it is not surprising, do you remember when data plans only offered a few megabytes?Not forgetting that there was a time before 3G when smartphones could only connect via Wi-Fi.Connecting to public networks in cafes, stations, libraries or street hotspots was not only necessary, but it was the only possible option.Now, however, there is constant emphasis on the importance of avoiding connecting to public networks.Basically because it represents an unnecessary risk.It is not so much because of the public nature of the network, but because of the use that other users can make of it.By connecting to a public network you put your privacy and digital integrity at risk by not knowing who controls it.You are more likely to be a victim of attacks through public networks.What do I do if I connect to a public network?Nor is it the end of the world, as we have commented, before we usually did it.Fortunately, we now have more information and tools to access them more safely.You just have to follow a few tips:Save my name, email, and website in this browser the next time I comment.This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.Learn how your comment data is processed.Now you can use our free SERVICE to quickly contact companies that rent splicers, certifiers, OTDRs, cutters...
