Fiber Internet - Upgrade work, life and gaming

I have a Fiber internet question / idea. I would appreciate any opinions. With my current cable internet 125 mbps down and 25 mbps up speed each internet related task I do for work ( I work from home) can take about 15 or 20 seconds of internet loading. For example many of my tasks are accessing and making changes to back end of a website, or processing a PayPal refund, accessing and editing Google sheets, etc... I do these things frequently throughout the day. Would Fiber internet significantly reduce my work times? For example if I do 500 work related tasks in a day at 20 seconds each task that is about 166 minutes of work (waiting for website to load, logging in, accessing something, editing something, etc...) If I used Fiber internet (at a speed of something like 960 mbps download and 200 mbps upload would my 166 minutes of work most likely be significantly reduced at possibly 100 minutes or less?

I am considering moving to a nearby city to have access to Fiber internet. If my theory is correct in that Fiber internet it will save many hours per month of constantly staring at web actions loading slowly (what I think is slow).

I have not played online multiplayer / co-op PC games in a few years. However I wanted to get back into it. Would Fiber internet make online gaming almost flawlessly smooth? I remeber back in Borderlands 1 and 2 days the games where mostly smooth online however a lot of action seemed to create some lag / hiccups. Thanks for any input!

Having a higher bandwidth from your ISP, won't necessarily improve your internet at your computer. Multiple things come into play:

• Router (if it can't handle the bandwidth your ISP provides, fiber optic will be wasted)
• how you connect to the router (wireless or wired)
  • if wired, what class your ethernet cable is (cat5, cat6, etc)
  • if wireless, the connection will always be slower over wired. I don't recommend wireless connection especially if you game online or do heavy internet work.
• your computer specs
  • If you have an older computer it just might be too slow to process the information faster and increasing your internet bandwidth won't change much

As for gaming online, the most important thing is your ping. If you game on wireless, your ping will be higher. If you do have a good connection, but your computer lacks a decent GPU and CPU, things can feel "laggy" because the computer has issues processing all the necessary info on your end.

@neatfeatguy:

Thanks for the reply and for bringing up excellent points about different factors. I connect hardwired to a router with a Cat6 cable and I receive my Cable internet service provider's advertised speeds (125 down and 25 up). My computer is good overall. Windows 10, i7-3770k @3.5ghz processor, 16 gb ram, gtx 980ti video card, asus sabertooth z77 motherboard (Max LAN Speed10/100/1000Mbps). I do maintain the latest drivers as often as possible. Note: I do plan on upgrading most of PC soon.

Assuming I have (buy or rent one) router / modem capable of high end Fiber speeds (with my current PC specs) will I most likely benefit from Fiber connection? Like in my situation mentioned above turning about 160 minutes of work / loading times to 100 minutes or less with Fiber (and the fact that I work fast on a PC in general)).

Decent rig you have there. If you have a good heatsink, you should be able to overclock the CPU to 4.2 to 4.4 or so. It'll breath a bit of life into your overall performance.

Based on what you listed for your specs and all, just make sure you have a modem/router that can handle the fiber optic speeds and you should be good since you're connected with cat6.

@neatfeatguy: Thanks, I have a Noctua heatsink, and good airflow maybe I will adventure into overclocking. My variety and majority of most of the work I do has gotten too be more busy (a good thing). I may talk to my ISP to see their plans or consider moving to get Fiber. I think I would save a lot of time (daily) if I had Fiber internet speeding things up. Thanks.
